Sinossi

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.

Sonny Sunshine

Beat Poet Experience

Sonny Sunshine the new Album by the Beat Poet Experience is formed around the poetry and dynamism of performance artist David O'Kelly. Paying more than a passing nod to the Beat Poets of the 60's it embraces warmly all that we love and hate about ourselves with a wry twist of phrase and some of the hottest jazz licks this side of New Orleans ...Reflecting the major works of Beat writing ALA Allen Ginsberg's Howl (1956), William S. Burroughs's Naked Lunch (1959) and Jack Kerouac's On the Road (1957), the Beat Poet Experience joins these members of the Beat Generation as one of the new bohemian hedonists celebrating nonconformity and spontaneous creativity. 
The album Sonny Sunshine includes songs, lyrics and poems that have been written and performed over the last two decades in New York, Prague and London. It is Beat Poetry with an English twist and an eye to the odd crazy frailty of human nature with incredible performances from some of the best players currently on London's vibrant jazz scene. Written with a wry turn of Phrase and a sharp observational eye these are poems about life, death and magic.

Self-Censorship

Glenn C. Loury

There is no such thing as free, unconstrained speech. Laws and constitutions may protect us from the state when we speak our minds. But the state is just one possible constraint. Glenn Loury, one of America's most outspoken and important intellectuals, provides a provocative and dazzling analysis of the powerful social forces that can prevent speakers from voicing unpopular views in public forums.Every society, Loury notes, has norms to enforce. That can be a good thing: There ought to be social sanctions for, say, compulsive liars. When, however, a society shows a low degree of tolerance for speech about matters of political importance, self-censorship proliferates and public discourse and policy suffer. The answer, Loury argues, is for as many of us as possible to be braver and more human—to take a risk and unapologetically "live within the truth".Loury first presented these ideas in the 1990s in a celebrated and prophetic essay about "political correctness." In Self-Censorship he expands and updates the account, deploying his analytical powers and psychological acuity to diagnose our current political climate. The result illuminates prevailing social dynamics with the same brilliant and startling effect that made the paper an instant classic thirty years ago.

Engels conducted extensive research and firsthand observations, drawing attention to the deplorable conditions faced by the working class in urban industrial centers. He explores issues such as long working hours, child labor, unsanitary living conditions, lack of workers' rights, and the exploitation of labor by the emerging industrial capitalist class. The book serves as a scathing critique of the social and economic inequalities of the time, highlighting the stark contrast between the living conditions of the working class and the affluent bourgeoisie.
