Sinopsis

Funny Animals explores the intriguing question of whether animals possess a sense of humor, examining behaviors from elaborate bird dances to seemingly laughing rodents. This journey through nature, life sciences, and biology delves into animal antics, offering insights into the evolutionary basis and ecological significance of these behaviors. The book investigates how these actions may contribute to communication, social bonding, and, surprisingly, even survival. It challenges us to reconsider traditional views of animal behavior by suggesting that what we perceive as "funny" might serve vital functions.

 
The book progresses by first establishing core concepts, like defining humor in a non-human context and tackling the challenges of studying subjective experiences across species. It then dedicates chapters to specific animal groups, such as birds, mammals, and insects, showcasing examples of these humorous behaviors. For example, the book highlights the role of play and mimicry in social development and learning, as well as the function of courtship rituals as displays of fitness. By combining scientific rigor with accessible storytelling, Funny Animals encourages a fresh perspective on the intelligence and emotional lives of animals.

    CBC BOOKS "CANADIAN POETRY COLLECTIONS TO WATCH FOR IN FALL 2024"For bpNichol’s 80th birthday, a selection of 80 pieces from his 1980s notebooks, an astounding trove of never-before-seen work.One of Canada’s most beloved poets, bpNichol (1944–1988), left a huge legacy of poetry, prose, scripts, comics, and playful interrogation of language after his untimely passing in 1988. In celebration of what would have been Nichol’s eightieth birthday, Some Lines of Poetry gathers excerpts from Nichol’s journals across the 1980s to give a unique perspective on craft, process, and a writer’s life. Featuring works in progress, insight into Nichol’s thinking, previously unpublished prose and lyric, visual, and sound poems, Some Lines of Poetry documents Nichol’s “apprenticeship to language” and his playful daily exploration of the limits of writing. Lovingly edited by noted poet-scholars Derek Beaulieu and Gregory Betts, who provide an afterword contextualizing Nichol’s practice, Some Lines of Poetry is a map of hidden corners, a guidebook to poetic play, and a tribute to Nichol’s ongoing influence.

    Located in a part of Cumbria that was once part of Lancashire, the River Duddon rises in the high fells of the Lake District and flows for 25 miles through varied scenery before disappearing into the sands between Millom and Barrow-in-Furness. Wordsworth’s series of sonnets, inspired by his walks along the river, were written over a period of years, but are arranged so as to follow its downward course from the fells to the sea. Part One of this reading consists of the 33 sonnets and postscript that were first published as a series in 1820. Later editions of Wordsworth’s works included a 34th sonnet, which is appended to Part One. Part Two contains Wordsworth’s rather eccentric notes on the sonnets, which are largely taken up by an account of the remarkable career of the Reverend ‘Wonderful’ Walker, who lived to the age of 94 after serving as curate of Seathwaite chapel for 67 years from 1735 to 1802. I have read the sonnets using a northern English accent as I believe Wordsworth may have read them himself. (Summary by Phil Benson)
