Download or read book Aviculture written by Ingvar Svanberg and published by Hancock House. This book was released on 2018 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the history of aviculture and the cultural extent of keeping and raising birds in captivity for pleasure, companion[ship], ornamental reasons, religious causes or various economic or practical purposes. Since the dawn of mankind, humans have kept birds in captivity. Several species are truly domesticated, while others have simply been bred in captivity for many generations. Today bird-keeping for pleasure appears to be declining in the West, mostly due to bird protection and growing awareness about conservation issues. Although aviculture has had, and still has a deep impact on human beings, it remains a neglected field within humanities and social sciences. Relatively little is published about the cultural and historical aspects of aviculture. This anthology is intended for a general audience of readers and it shows various aspects of keeping birds in captivity for pleasure, ornamental reasons or practical purposes around the world. It also deals with the great variety and complexity of the practice of keeping birds, and the specific cultures which have developed around it. Modern aviculture in zoological gardens is discussed and specific bird categories within twentieth-century aviculture are described in some chapters. We encounter sophisticated bird-keeping in pre-Columbian societies, Norse trade with falcons, the European craze for songbirds, practices with captive birds used in human habitations to keep vermin under control, and how avicultural expertise is used for trying to save vanishing species by breeding them in captivity. Together these topics illustrate the great variety and complexities of bird-keeping practice. The authors are specialists in aviculture and most of them hail from the countries about which they write. This book bridges the disciplines of cultural anthropology, ethnobiology, history, natural history and ornithology and is intended to benchmark the development of the subject for a broader audience, which until now has had few possibilities to become acquainted with it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Birds, Their Cages and Their Keep: Being a Practical Manual of Bird-Keeping and Bird-Reading I claim the same rights for birds, lower in the scale of creation, yet alike gifted with a capacity for feeling, suffering, loving, and in an inferior measure, for thinking. A bird's instinct corresponds in its own proportion and degree to a man's power of thought mind it has not, but remember, -brains, nerves, and feelings, it has. Neglect occasions acute physical suffering affection and frequent notice awaken habits of observation and memory. In bird-keeping as a pursuit, it is safest at first to be guided by the teaching of books afterwards trust more implicitly to personal observation and experience than to any printed guide. At best, an author can only advise, inform, and lay down general rules. Different birds need different handfing.

The anthology is unique in that the selected pieces are not just about birds and nature but also about their role in human lifefrom religion to sports, from superstition to wisdomin short, how nature and particularly birds affect us. Though the selected writings are mostly those originally written in English, a few translations from Indian languages have also been included. There are extracts from ancient, medieval, and later-day works such as the Panchatantra, The Baburnama, The Jahangirnama, and Abdul Halim Sharars accounts of bird-keeping in Lucknow. Besides the inimitable EHA, samples of writings from several British naturalists such as Allen O. Hume, R.S.P. Bates, Douglas Dewar, and well known contemporary bird-watchers such as Salim Ali, M. Krishnan, Peter Jackson, Zai Whittaker, Theodore Baskaran, E.P. Gee, Prakash Gole, Madhav Gadgil and Dharmakumarsinhji are included. Pieces by well known writers and public figures such as Mark Twain, Abul Kalam Azad, and Rudyard Kipling also find a place in this volume. This anthology will appeal equally to nature lovers, bird-watchers, environmentalists and conservationists, as also general readers.

Download or read book A Tokyo Anthology written by Sumie Jones and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 2017-02-28 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The city of Tokyo, renamed after the Meiji Restoration, developed an urban culture that was a dynamic integration of Edo’s highly developed traditions and Meiji renovations, some of which reflected the influence of Western culture. This wide-ranging anthology—including fictional and dramatic works, essays, newspaper articles, political manifestos, and cartoons—tells the story of how the city’s literature and arts grew out of an often chaotic and sometimes paradoxical political environment to move toward a consummate Japanese “modernity.” Tokyo’s downtown audience constituted a market that demanded visuality and spectacle, while the educated uptown favored written, realistic literature. The literary products resulting from these conflicting consumer bases were therefore hybrid entities of old and new technologies. A Tokyo Anthology guides the reader through Japanese literature’s journey from classical to spoken, pictocentric to logocentric, and fantastic to realistic—making the novel the dominant form of modern literature. The volume highlights not only familiar masterpieces but also lesser known examples chosen from the city’s downtown life and counterculture. Imitating the custom of creative artists of the Edo period, scholars from the United States, Canada, England, and Japan have collaborated in order to produce this intriguing sampling of Meiji works in the best possible translations. The editors have sought out the most reliable first editions of texts, also reproducing most of their original illustrations. With few exceptions the translations presented here are the first in the English language. This rich anthology will be welcomed by students and scholars of Japan studies and by a wide general audience interested in Japan’s popular culture, media culture, and literature in translation.
