Beschreibung

Alpine Cattle Drives explores the enduring tradition of transhumance, or seasonal livestock movement, in mountain regions, particularly the Alps and Andes. This practice, deeply rooted in history and cultural heritage, reveals intricate connections between agricultural practices and environmental sustainability. One intriguing insight is how these communities adapt to modern challenges like climate change, showcasing resilience. The book argues that understanding transhumance is vital for preserving both the cultural fabric of mountain communities and the ecological integrity of these environments, offering lessons for contemporary sustainable development and biodiversity conservation.

 
The book takes a multidisciplinary approach, integrating earth sciences, geography, history, and anthropology to provide a holistic view. It examines social structures, economic drivers, and ecological impacts, using historical records, ethnographic studies, and firsthand accounts. By comparing transhumance in the Alps and Andes, the study highlights both common threads and unique regional variations. This detailed approach emphasizes local knowledge and advocates for integrated, sustainable mountain development.

    Since first domesticating the chicken thousands of years ago, humans have become exceptionally adept at raising them for food. Yet most people rarely interact with chickens or know much about them. In Under the Henfluence, culture reporter Tove Danovich explores the lives of these quirky, mysterious birds who stole her heart the moment her first box of chicks arrived at the post office. 
     
     
     
    From a hatchery in Iowa to a chicken show in Ohio to a rooster rescue in Minnesota, Danovich interviews the people breeding, training, healing, and, most importantly, adoring chickens. With more than 26 billion chickens living on industrial farms around the world, they’re easy to dismiss as just another dinner ingredient. Yet Danovich's reporting reveals the hidden cleverness, quiet sweetness, and irresistible personalities of these birds, as well as the complex human-chicken relationship that has evolved over centuries. This glimpse into the lives of backyard chickens doesn't just help us to understand chickens better—it also casts light back on ourselves and what we've ignored throughout the explosive growth of industrial agriculture. Woven with delightful and sometimes heartbreaking anecdotes from Danovich's own henhouse, Under the Henfluence proves that chickens are so much more than what they bring to the table.

    Lainie Chait was diagnosed with epilepsy in 1991 at the age of 19. At the time of diagnosis, there were three roads to go down - avoidance, acceptance or rebellion.  Avoidance was her first choice. Falling in the shower, brain jerks and muscle twitches when she was 14 was the beginning of something 'not quite right' about her early teenage years. She hid these symptoms from family and friends for three years in the hope that they were just ‘growing pains’.As she started reaching the age of independence (18 in Australia) and started to drink, stay up late and go out partying, these ‘growing pains’ turned into a seizure condition that could no longer be ignored.  Eventually doctors, diagnoses and medicines were brought into the equation.She tried acceptance but at the time it wasn’t the right fit, as the very thought of taming down her young, fun life and replace it with medicine, early nights and mature personal decisions was just too hard to fathom. Rebellion then became her main focus and she achieved this by partying, staying up late and ignoring the triggers. This mindset carried with it an enormous amount of embarrassment and shame.  She constantly felt like a failure after each of the 250+ Grand Mal seizures she endured over 25 years.  But she wasn’t just rebelling against a diagnosis; she was rebelling against a system that has the capacity to make you feel better but at a price that also keeps you in a place of perpetual illness.  She needed to know why she had epilepsy and the only way she was going to find this out was to take herself off all the meds and research it, live it, feel it, document and manage it for herself.She did this much to the horror of her doctors, friends and family.  She went on a journey to get to know her brain and what makes it tick and glitch. The journey was about finding out just how much control she did and didn’t have over her seizures.Electro Girl is Lainie Chait's story of resilience, growth and self advocacy.
