Sinopsis

Embark on a captivating journey through the ages as "Paws and Origins" unravels the enduring connection between humanity and its oldest companions—the dogs. From the very dawn of civilization, these faithful creatures have been our friends, protectors, and integral members of our families. Delving into the annals of history, this book explores the genesis of the extraordinary partnership formed between early humans and aboriginal representatives of today's modern dogs. Imagine a time when helpless whelps were brought home by hunters, tended by women and children, and gradually evolved into cherished playmates for the entire family. "Paws and Origins" vividly portrays this evolution, tracing the footsteps of our canine companions across the globe. Discover the unique traces of indigenous dog families found in almost every corner of the world, unveiling the only exceptions in specific regions. Witness the transformation of neglected and wild dogs in Oriental lands into distinct varieties in the ancient civilizations of Assyria and Egypt. Unravel the biblical references to dogs, often spoken of with scorn and contempt, and explore the lone acknowledgment of a dog as a companion in the apocryphal Book of Tobit. The book tackles the intriguing question of the vast diversity among dog breeds, challenging the belief in a common ancestry. A thorough examination of the structural identity between wolves and dogs lays the foundation for understanding their shared characteristics, habits, and even reproductive traits. While biblical disdain painted dogs as "unclean beasts," "Paws and Origins" echoes Darwin's hypothesis, proposing that domestic dogs likely descended from various wolf species, jackals, and potentially extinct canine forms. The mingling of their bloodlines throughout history has birthed the rich tapestry of breeds we adore today.

    Dark matter is one of the greatest mysteries in the universe. Despite being invisible and undetectable by traditional means, it accounts for a significant portion of the universe’s mass. It has been a subject of scientific inquiry for over a century, and yet, it remains largely elusive. The term "dark matter" was first coined in the 1930s by astronomer Fritz Zwicky when he observed that galaxies in clusters were moving much faster than expected based on the visible matter they contained. Zwicky hypothesized that there must be some unseen mass, which he referred to as "dark matter," to explain the extra gravitational pull. This idea was revolutionary at the time, but it took decades for the concept of dark matter to gain widespread acceptance in the scientific community. 
    In the following years, astronomers and physicists continued to gather indirect evidence for dark matter’s existence. The observation of galaxy rotation curves provided another compelling clue. Galaxies, such as our Milky Way, were found to rotate faster at their outer edges than could be explained by the visible matter alone. If only the mass of the stars and gas were considered, the galaxies would not be able to maintain their rotation speeds without breaking apart. However, the additional gravitational influence of dark matter seemed to explain this discrepancy, pointing to its presence. 
    Despite this evidence, scientists still have no direct way to detect dark matter. It does not emit, absorb, or reflect light, making it invisible to traditional telescopes and detectors. The most that can be done is to observe its effects on visible matter, radiation, and gravitational forces. The hunt for dark matter has since become a driving force in astrophysics and particle physics, with scientists developing new methods and tools to try and detect it.

    A Croft in the Hills captures, in simple, moving descriptions, what it was really like trying to make a living out of a hill croft near Loch Ness fifty years ago. A couple and their young daughter, fresh from city life, immerse themselves in the practicalities of looking after sheep, cattle and hens, mending fences, baking bread, and surviving the worst that Scottish winters can throw at them. 
     
     
     
    Their neighbors are few, but among them they find the generosity and community spirit that has survived in the Highlands for generations. Working as a tight family unit, they learn to cope, and in time grow to love their little croft. As Neil Gunn writes in his Foreword, their lives gain extra dimensions that 'give the book its unusual quality, its brightness, and its wisdom'.
