Download or read book Wild Fathers written by Erna Walraven and published by New Holland Publishers. This book was released on 2021-09-06 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wild animal fathers are often seen merely as sperm donors with little contribution or influence on family affairs. This is indeed the case in plenty of species but many other wild animal dads have evolved to be significant and, in some instances, essential contributors to offspring survival. This book takes a close look at the role of animal dads in nature and what that may say about fatherhood in humans--giving insights into truly fascinating paternal behaviour in wild animals ranging from seahorses to monkeys and ostriches to penguins. Fatherhood is an oft-neglected subject compared to motherhood, yet many animal societies have evolved a major role for dads beyond the donation of sperm. There are myriad ways animals can become dads, involving different courtships styles to attract a female and mating systems from polygamy to monogamy and polyandry. Natural selection and mate choice also influence the potential of becoming a dad. When fatherhood is achieved, what is the role of pair bonding, fidelity, and male role models? These topics are explored with a wink to our own rituals and societal norms.

Book Synopsis Father in the Wild by : Dave Herring
Download or read book Father in the Wild written by Dave Herring and published by Elm Hill. This book was released on 2020-04-21 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I’m a product of the American divorce rate. Nothing tragic. Nothing obscure or awful. Just good old-fashioned family failure. Then in my early adulthood, I found myself repeating the very same home I grew up in and assimilating into American statistics myself. In response to the wreckage, I began driving. When I thought I was at the end of it all, I discovered that I was really at the beginning of a grand adventure. I was off to find my father. And finding my father would lead to finding security. Security is perhaps one of our greatest needs as humans. Romantics say love is our greatest need. Philosophers say knowledge is our greatest needs. Mystics say transcendence is our greatest need. But what if security is in-fact our greatest need? Who would we be as a people, as a church, and as a nation if we felt a sense of security in our lives? Not superficial security where life is predictable, but a sacred security. One that’s firm in our identity. Affirmation by a father is something we all need, whether we want to admit it or not. Not having my father around in my most critical adolescent years created an insecurity in me that I eventually transferred over to my faith. I even transferred it over leaders and other authorities in my life. A breeding ground for insecurity. It wasn’t until I found the secrets of beauty and adversity, and found the Father in the wild, that I became healthy and whole. This journey is an introspective look at faith and freedom, and finding a father, with crisis as a catalyst. It’s a journey across the wilderness of America, through prairies and mountains, across National Parks and along interstates, and ultimately the highways of the heart and mind.
Download or read book Harvesting the Bay written by Ray Huling and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2012-07-03 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “If we mean to change our ways, how will we do it? How will we make our food and our system of food production healthy, sustainable, and secure? How will we make them, in a word, sane? Who will do this work?” Ray Huling knows the hard realities of shellfishing. His father and grandfathers were shellfishermen on Rhode Island’s Narragansett Bay, laborers in an age-old trade. Because he grew up surrounded by quahaugers, the industry is in his blood and the drive to keep it sustainable is what makes up his family history. In Harvesting the Bay, Huling answers these pressing questions and delivers a moving portrait of the men and women who work the waters of the Atlantic Coast in the harsh environment of the shellfishing industry. Huling argues that any successful sustainable food enterprise will likely resemble shellfishing in Rhode Island, an industry that has existed sustainably for over 150 years, with its complex system of governance, its fierce and obsessive workforce, and its conflicts within communities and between generations. This thought-provoking book sets the complexities of sustainable food production against a heartwarming story of one family’s enduring years of work on the seas.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jack London's dual-novel compilation of 'The Call of the Wild' and 'White Fang' delves deep into the wild and untamed landscapes of the Yukon and the Klondike during the gold rush era. London's prose is stark yet rich with vivid imagery, perfectly capturing the raw, brutal beauty of the natural world and the struggle for survival. Through the eyes of his animal protagonists, Buck and White Fang, London paints a powerful narrative on the primal instincts and the fight for dominance in a harsh, unforgiving environment. Both novels exemplify London's signature naturalism style, blending realism with themes of individualism, instinct, and the conflict between civilization and the untamed wilderness. His exploration of the human-animal relationship is thought-provoking and resonates with readers of all ages.

Book Synopsis The Way of the Wild Heart by : John Eldredge
Download or read book The Way of the Wild Heart written by John Eldredge and published by Thomas Nelson. This book was released on 2006-11-12 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book about how a boy?and a man?becomes a man. It's a guide to the process of masculine initiation, that ancient path every boy and man must take if they would become the man they long to be. The path whereby they come to know they are a man, and are able to live and love from a deep, centered strength. We live in a time where most men (and boys) are essentially fatherless. Whatever their circumstance, they have no man actually taking them through the many adventures, trials, battles and experiences they need to shape a masculine heart within them. They find themselves on their own to figure life out, and that is a lonely place to be. Their fears, anger, boredom, and their many addictions all come out of this fatherless place within them, a fundamental uncertainty in the core of their being. But there is a way. "We aren't meant to figure life out on our own," says John Eldredge. "God wants to father us." In The Way of the Wild Heart, Eldredge reveals how God comes to a man and takes him on the masculine journey, how nearly all the events of a man's life can come togther to provide the initiation he never received. And how parents can offer that initiation to their sons. Whatever your age may be, your Father is ready to take up your journey. For you are his son.
Book Synopsis The Call of the Wild and White Fang by : Jack London
Download or read book The Call of the Wild and White Fang written by Jack London and published by Collector's Library. This book was released on 2004 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presented together in one volume, these are two of the greatest and most popular animal stories ever written. Even to designate them as "animal stories" seems to undervalue them, because these tremendous works are so much more than mere children's tales, although they are admittedly still greatly loved by the young. Penned by Jack London at the beginning of the twentieth century, the first, The Call of the Wild, tells the story of Buck, a domestic dog who is kidnapped from his home in California and forced to pull sleds in the Arctic wastes. In the second, White Fang, a cross-breed that is three-quarters wolf and one quarter dog, endures considerable suffering in the Arctic before being tamed by a white American and taken to live in California. The two narratives are remarkable for the vividness of their descriptions and the success with which London imagines life from a nonhuman perspective.

Book Synopsis The Call Of The Wild By Jack London by : Jack London
Download or read book The Call Of The Wild By Jack London written by Jack London and published by BEYOND BOOKS HUB. This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Call of the Wild is a short adventure novel by Jack London, published in 1903 and set in Yukon, Canada, during the 1890s Klondike Gold Rush, when strong sled dogs were in high demand. The central character of the novel is a dog named Buck. The story opens at a ranch in Santa Clara Valley, California, when Buck is stolen from his home and sold into service as a sled dog in Alaska. He becomes progressively more primitive and wild in the harsh environment, where he is forced to fight to survive and dominate other dogs. By the end, he sheds the veneer of civilization, and relies on primordial instinct and learned experience to emerge as a leader in the wild. London spent almost a year in the Yukon, and his observations form much of the material for the book. The story was serialized in The Saturday Evening Post in the summer of 1903 and was published later that year in book form. The book's great popularity and success made a reputation for London. As early as 1923, the story was adapted to film, and it has since seen several more cinematic adaptations.
