Synopsis

Wildlife Tales explores the deep-rooted presence of animals in human storytelling across cultures and history, revealing how these narratives reflect our values and relationship with nature. From ancient myths to modern literature, animals have served as powerful symbols, often embodying human traits or delivering moral lessons. For example, trickster figures like the coyote appear in various indigenous folktales, highlighting the universal appeal and adaptability of animal archetypes.

 
The book examines animal narratives through historical sources, from ancient texts to ethnographic studies. It traces the shifting representation of animals, from symbolic figures in creation myths to complex characters in contemporary literature. 

 
Organized geographically and historically, Wildlife Tales progresses from Ancient Egypt and Classical Greece to Medieval Europe, analyzing the cultural significance of animal stories in each period and concluding with their impact on modern environmental awareness and animal rights. This unique approach offers valuable insights into the origins of human belief systems and moral codes, revealing how animal stories shape our understanding of ourselves and the natural world.

 
By focusing on cross-cultural comparisons, Wildlife Tales demonstrates how diverse societies have used animal narratives to grapple with fundamental questions about life, ethics, and our place in the world.

The Tory’s Wife - A Woman and...

Cynthia A. Kierner

The Spurgin family of North Carolina experienced the cataclysm of the American Revolution in the most dramatic ways—and from different sides. This engrossing book tells the story of Jane Welborn Spurgin, a patriot who welcomed General Nathanael Greene to her home and aided Continental forces while her loyalist husband was fighting for the king as an officer in the Tory militia. By focusing on the wife of a middling backcountry farmer, esteemed historian Cynthia Kierner shows how the Revolution not only toppled long-established political hierarchies but also strained family ties and drew women into the public sphere to claim both citizenship and rights—as Jane Spurgin did with a dramatic series of petitions to the North Carolina state legislature when she fought to reclaim her family's lost property after the war was over. 
 
 
 
While providing listeners with stories of battles, horse-stealing, bigamy, and exile that bring the Revolutionary era vividly to life, this book also serves as an invaluable examination of the potentially transformative effects of war and revolution, both personally and politically.

Right This Way - A History of...

Robert Viagas

When you sit down at a play, movie, or concert—or even in front of the TV or scrolling on your phone—you are taking part in one of the oldest and most mysterious forms of human behavior. Being part of an audience is an age-old experience that we all crave, one that has evolved from amphitheaters to screens. Right This Way is a pop history of audiences through the ages. Playbill editor Robert Viagas unfolds the unique aspects of what he calls “audiencing” with stories from the age of the Greeks to the world of Zoom. He walks through the different types of audiences and the history of their responses, what science has to say about how our brains respond to what they see and the reactions of the people around them, and why, during COVID-19, people risked a deadly virus to be part of a crowd. Right This Way explores what the audience experience brings us and how it may evolve in the 21st century.
