Sobre IBD

Can an Animal Commit a Crime?This pioneering work collects an amazing assemblage of court cases in which animals have been named as defendants--chickens, rats, field mice, bees, gnats, and (in 34 recorded instances) pigs, among others-- providing insight into such modern issues as animal rights, capital punishment, and social and criminal theory. Evans suggests an intriguing distinction between trials of specific animals or particular crimes, such as the 'murder' of an infant by a pig, and trials for larger, catastrophic events, such as plagues and infestations. In the latter case, Evans suggests a parallel to witchcraft.Edward Payson Evans [1831-1917], a historian, linguist and associate of Ralph Waldo Emerson, taught at the University of Michigan before moving to Germany, where he became a specialist in Oriental languages and German literature. A prolific author, his other Animal-related books are Animal Symbolism in Art and Literature and Animal Symbolism in Ecclesiastical Architecture, both published in 1887.CONTENTSIntroduction1.

    Este é mais um livro nomeado a partir de uma rocha – o calcário, que acho estranho por sua forma indefinida e sua afinidade com a água. Desta vez, há poucas histórias sobre montanhas, e nenhuma dela é calcárea.Achei que seria interessante apresentar relatos de terceiros. São três – uma carta, um argumento e um discurso, todos eles célebres: do chefe indígena Touro Sentado, do p...

    Alberto Ortenblad
    A caatinga é uma vegetação em geral baixa, espinhosa e emaranhada, plena cactos, bromélias e lenhos tortos. A queda de suas folhas faz com que seu aspecto varie enormemente entre as estações seca e úmida. Com seu visual rústico, a caatinga era inicialmente vista como algo feio, estéril e pobre, como uma degradação das vegetações exuberantes da floresta amazônica e da mata atlân...
