Sinopsis

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.

After an upstate New York childhood and a bartending stint in New Orleans's French Quarter, seasonal resort work led R. E. Burrillo to the desert Southwest, whose redrock landscapes were a source of stability through mental and physical illness. In The Backwoods of Everywhere, archaeologist Burrillo excavates his past, examining Indigenous and tourist cultures, the complexities of American archaeology, and what it means to be a local. From the ancient canal systems of Phoenix, Arizona, to the modern Mayan communities of the Yucatan Peninsula, to the depths of the Grand Canyon, Burrillo brings listeners on an entertaining romp chock-full of history, ecology, cultural preservation, and personal stories. 
 
 
 
In the vein of Bill Bryson, Tim Cahill, and Ellen Meloy, Burrillo's is a fresh voice in humor-spiked nature writing and cultural commentary. Running throughout the wide-ranging topics of The Backwoods of Everywhere are themes of place and locality, and how these vary between cultures and individuals. Marrying the intensely personal with the complex and technical, Burrillo's candid voice brings humor, wonder, irony, and wit to each thought-provoking essay.
