Feline Behaviour and Welfare

Feline Behaviour and Welfare

Andrew Fraser

CABI Publishing
2012
sidottu
Cats are the world's most popular domestic pet, as well as being wild animals. This comprehensive book on feline behaviour explores both the familiar domesticated animal and wild relatives such as the leopard, tiger and lynx to examine the Felidae family as a whole, allowing for fascinating comparisons between wild and domestic species and explanations of behaviour in pet cats with evolutionary origins. Fraser's work helps increase readers' understanding of cat behaviour - why they behave as they do, for what purpose and why. The focus is on identifying normal behaviour from the cat's perspective, with a welfare theme running throughout; as exhibitions of normal behaviour provide evidence of good welfare, and abnormal behaviour can be an indicator of poor welfare. Providing a veterinary perspective - by including coverage of feline physiology, life stages and reproduction - as well as an ethological one, this is an important read for veterinarians, shelter workers, animal behaviourists and students of veterinary medicine and animal welfare, while also being of interest to pet owners.

Reinventing Aristocracy in the Age of Woke Capital

Andrew Fraser's socio-legal study resurrects the original conception of the modern American business corporation as a little republic. Well into the nineteenth century, the idea of the corporation as a civil body politic played a significant role in the constitutional genesis of civic authority. In our time too, republican ideas can challenge the dictatorship of the economic in corporate governance. The author's republican model of corporate governance looks beyond managerial accountability to shareholders. He highlights the responsibility of shareholders for risks imposed upon society at large by the corporations they own. Political responsibility for the adverse consequences of corporate activity must be vested in a new political class of shareholders. A self-selecting aristocracy of substantial shareholders can constitute senatorial elites with the authority to balance the otherwise irresponsible power of corporate managers. In exploring the contemporary relevance of republicanism to corporate governance, the author discusses the nature of aristocracy and democracy in the era of reflexive modernization; corporations and the economic logic of efficiency; as well as the relationship between risk, responsibility, and the political realities of corporate power.

Christian Nationalism vs Global Jesus

Christian Nationalism vs Global Jesus

Andrew Fraser

ARKTOS MEDIA
2025
pokkari
Christian Nationalism vs Global Jesus sheds much-needed light on contemporary controversies surrounding the seemingly oxymoronic phenomenon of "Christian nationalism," past, present, and future, as problem and as solution. Part One explores the ostensibly biblical foundations of Christian nationalism, the first-century Jesus movement, and the early Christian church in Greco-Roman antiquity. Part Two examines the extent to which the rise and fall of early medieval Anglo-Saxon Christendom was influenced by the "project of peoplehood" reflected in the Hebrew Bible. In Part Three, the focus shifts to a modern history culminating in the post-Christian collapse of British patriotism. Does the contemporary crisis of Anglo-Protestant political theology stem from a failure to recognize in the historical Jesus the mythic model for the miraculous appearance of a Patriot King? The religious, political, and civil institutions of the Anglosphere now oversee the deliberate degeneration of historic Anglo cultures into mere economic zones, populated by rootless, shifting masses of morally debased monads. Could a Patriot King spark the reformation of the existing order of things?

Step back in time to the captivating 14th century, an era marked by a tapestry of war, wonders, and the dawn of the Renaissance. Delve into the riveting dynamics of international trade, birthing the merchant class and giving rise to iconic city-states like Florence and Pisa. As the period unfolds, witness the blossoming of arts and architecture to unprecedented sophistication, propelled by the establishment of universities that facilitated the flow of knowledge. Yet, amidst the cultural renaissance, the shadow of the 'Black Death' looms large, claiming over 25 million lives, while the 'Hundred Years War' between England and France unfolds over an intriguing 116 years. It's a time of paradoxes, of life and death, war and enlightenment-an era that beckons reflection. Embark on a journey through the pages of this book, where the first part serves as a treasury of insights for your future projects. From holding your work to creating proportional replicas from ancient manuscripts, the knowledge shared is invaluable. Safety is emphasized throughout, reminding you not to tread unfamiliar ground without the right tools, equipment, and expertise. The heart of the book unfolds with a series of captivating 14th-century projects, each a meticulous recreation guided by historical accuracy. Discover the intricacies of crafting Bede's Chair, the Pillager's Chest, the Sitting Bed from the Santa Croce Fresco, and more, all masterfully presented by Stephen Wyley and other skilled artisans. Assuming a basic competence in working with wood, metal, and leather, this book becomes your gateway to honing these skills further. As you progress through the projects, your proficiency naturally grows, with safety always at the forefront. Metalwork enthusiasts will find detailed guidance on manufacturing, purchasing, and fitting metal elements such as hinges and handles. The metric system, complemented by Imperial/US customary measures, guides you through project dimensions, ensuring consistency within each undertaking. A conversion chart in Appendix 8 provides clarity, fostering a seamless crafting experience. Venture into the realm of leatherwork, an added dimension to this volume. Uncover the artistry of the bellows and costrel, showcasing leather's versatility-soft and pliable for clothing, sturdy as wood for practical applications. This book stands on its own, but for a comprehensive understanding of historical sources, furniture form and function, and optimal material usage, the authors suggest referring to "Vikings - Volume 1" (2021). Your journey into the past awaits; may your endeavors be as rewarding as they are enriching. Good luck, and may the force be with you on this immersive historical crafting odyssey.
