  Felinology - The Study of Cats...

  Felinology, the scientific study of cats, encompasses everything from their evolutionary history to their physiology, behavior, and conservation. As one of the most beloved and enigmatic creatures, cats have captured human interest for thousands of years. Their presence in mythology, folklore, and everyday life has made them a subject of fascination, while their unique biological and behavioral traits continue to intrigue researchers and cat enthusiasts alike. Understanding felinology not only deepens our appreciation of these remarkable animals but also plays a crucial role in improving their welfare, both in domestic settings and in the wild. 
  One of the primary reasons felinology is significant is its role in bridging the gap between domesticated and wild felines. While domestic cats (Felis catus) have lived alongside humans for millennia, they retain many of the instincts and behaviors of their wild counterparts. Studying these similarities and differences helps researchers understand how domestication has shaped modern felines and provides insight into their needs and natural tendencies. Felinology also sheds light on the relationships between different feline species, allowing scientists to trace their evolutionary paths and better comprehend the intricate links between them. 
  Beyond evolutionary studies, felinology is essential in understanding feline health and well-being. From genetic predispositions to common illnesses, scientific research into feline biology has led to advancements in veterinary medicine, improving the quality of life for both domestic and captive wild cats. Research in this field has contributed to the development of vaccines, treatments for chronic conditions, and strategies for preventing diseases that affect feline populations. Furthermore, knowledge of feline nutrition and behavior has allowed pet owners and veterinarians to optimize care, ensuring cats live healthier and longer lives.

  Obsolescence - An Architectural...

  Daniel M. Abramson

  In our architectural pursuits, we often seem to be in search of something newer, grander, or more efficient—and this phenomenon is not novel. In the spring of 1910 hundreds of workers labored day and night to demolish the Gillender Building in New York, once the loftiest office tower in the world, in order to make way for a taller skyscraper. The New York Times puzzled over those who would sacrifice the thirteen-year-old structure, “as ruthlessly as though it were some ancient shack.” In New York alone, the Gillender joined the original Grand Central Terminal, the Plaza Hotel, the Western Union Building, and the Tower Building on the list of just one generation’s razed metropolitan monuments. In the innovative and wide-ranging Obsolescence, Daniel M. Abramson investigates this notion of architectural expendability and the logic by which buildings lose their value and utility. The idea that the new necessarily outperforms and makes superfluous the old, Abramson argues, helps people come to terms with modernity and capitalism’s fast-paced change. Obsolescence, then, gives an unsettling experience purpose and meaning. Belief in obsolescence, as Abramson shows, also profoundly affects architectural design. In the 1960s, many architects worldwide accepted the inevitability of obsolescence, experimenting with flexible, modular designs, from open-plan schools, offices, labs, and museums to vast megastructural frames and indeterminate building complexes. Some architects went so far as to embrace obsolescence’s liberating promise to cast aside convention and habit, envisioning expendable short-life buildings that embodied human choice and freedom. Others, we learn, were horrified by the implications of this ephemerality and waste, and their resistance eventually set the stage for our turn to sustainability—the conservation rather than disposal of resources. Abramson’s fascinating tour of our idea of obsolescence culminates in an assessment of recent manifestations of sustainability, from adaptive reuse and historic preservation to postmodernism and green design, which all struggle to comprehend and manage the changes that challenge us on all sides.

  “Written with grace and emotional honesty, Sit, Stay, Heal will live with you long after the last page.”— John Grogan, bestselling author of Marley & Me 
  For more than two decades, esteemed veterinary oncologist Dr. Renee Alsarraf treated cancer in her beloved canine patients. Then, at age fifty-one, she was diagnosed with cancer herself. 
  Sit, Stay, Heal: What Dogs Can Teach Us About Living Well is Dr. Renee’s unforgettable testament to the extraordinary healing nature of dogs. Every day in her veterinary practice, she bears witness to the undeniable bond between pets and their people. However, while we are busy teaching them to “sit” and “stay,” they have their own, more profound, lessons to impart. In Sit, Stay, Heal, we meet Cosmo, the golden retriever who arrives at Renee’s office just before his fourteenth family vacation to the beach; Daisy, the cocker spaniel, an emotional support dog for a special needs child; and Franny, the bloodhound, a police dog who wasn’t ready to retire from the force. Then there’s Dr. Renee’s own dog Newtie, who falls ill when she needs him most. 
  Our dogs are wise in ways humans are not. For Dr. Renee, it was her patients—those furry, four-legged, slobbering animals—who seemed to uniquely understand her difficult journey and who showed her the true power of positivity and unconditional love. Full of life lessons and healing metaphors, perfect dogs and their imperfect humans, Sit, Stay, Heal is a captivating, heartwarming story for dog lovers far and wide.
