Beschreibung

Sacred Animals explores the intriguing connection between religion, biology, and culture through the lens of animal symbolism. It examines how various faiths perceive animals, assigning spiritual meanings that shape human interactions with the natural world. For instance, certain animals recur in religious texts, bearing profound symbolic weight, and their roles in creation myths vary widely across cultures. Understanding these relationships reveals fundamental beliefs about humanity's place in the ecosystem.

The book begins by establishing a historical and cross-cultural context, tracing the origins of animal symbolism in early religions and their evolution across societies. Subsequent chapters delve into specific animals, such as cattle in Hinduism or serpents in Judeo-Christian traditions, analyzing their biological characteristics alongside their cultural representations. This approach provides a holistic understanding of how animals function as symbols, totems, and even deities.

It highlights how the religious significance of animals provides a unique lens through which to understand human cultures, ethical frameworks, and the ongoing dialogue between humanity and the natural world. Ultimately, Sacred Animals addresses the ethical implications of these beliefs, including animal welfare, environmental ethics, and biodiversity conservation within religiously significant landscapes. By drawing on textual analysis, archaeological findings, and scientific research, the book offers a balanced, accessible exploration suitable for anyone interested in the intersection of Science Life Sciences, Biology, and Religion.

The Knowledge

Victor Steffensen

Learning from ancestral wisdom to save our challenging global environment.

In this follow-up to his bestselling Fire Country, Victor Steffensen offers a positive pathway for healing the planet based on traditional Indigenous knowledge systems.

Catastrophic wildfires have overwhelmed countries around the world from Australia, Canada and the United States to Greece and Brazil. Despite our growing climate crisis, changes to Western environmental approaches have been scant and many land management practices continue to destroy the land. It's time for a 'new' way of thinking. The solutions lie in the cultures of First Peoples, if only we're willing to listen.

As a Tagalaka man from Australia, Victor Steffensen spends his days educating people around the world about Aboriginal fire and land management knowledge. Applying the practices passed onto him by his mentors, Victor is on a mission to teach others the value of this knowledge.

In The Knowledge, Victor shares the simple yet core belief underlying Indigenous knowledge systems: that humans are part of the natural world. The land is not something to be dominated and exploited. Rather, we are nature and the way forward is to realign ourselves with the Earth, recognising our responsibility to care for the planet environmentally and socially. Filled with stories of Victor's work applying Indigenous solutions, The Knowledge will transform the way you think about our responses to bushfires, floods and the climate crisis.

Never has the call to change our global environmental approach been so strong or so clear. Destined to become a seminal work, The Knowledge is a must-read for anyone concerned about the future of our planet.

'Indigenous knowledge must lead us out of the emergency of climate change and species extinction. Buy this book.' DAVID SUZUKI
