This book will fill a need among animal paleopathologists and animal forensic scientists for a text/atlas focused on lesions that commonly appear in skeletal remains. The text describes what is known about disease pathogenesis and occurrence in modern and historical settings and include evolutionary and comparative considerations. It is a stand-alone atlas on animal bone disease with images of lesions on the whole bone, which would facilitate understanding of bone disease and provide insights into disease processes. This book fills a unique niche - a text/atlases on comparative bone pathology that includes images of whole specimens.

Fostering and the Human-Animal Bond: A Guide for Companion Animal Foster Care Providers and Shelters examines the human-animal bond in the context of animal fostering. Animal shelters are often challenged by capacity issues, risking animal health, welfare decline, and euthanasia. The ability of animal shelters to provide critical care through fostering depends on volunteers who are willing to temporarily take animals under their care. This book uses a research lens to provide information on improving recruitment and retention of foster volunteers and enhancing the overall experience for volunteers and fostered animals. Written by an animal welfare expert, this book is driven by interconnected questions about the nature of the human-animal bond, the factors of success for fostering volunteers, and best self-care and stress reduction practices to improve animal experiences and volunteer retention. To address these questions, the book draws on an interdisciplinary body of research incorporating animal behavior and welfare, volunteerism and sheltering, social work, and psychology. For researchers and students, these methodologies, measures, and analyses will inform future study on human-animal interactions. Intended to be accessible to researchers, students, and professional audiences, Fostering and the Human-Animal Bond is a pivotal and comprehensive source of information on how to support the emotional needs of foster volunteers, enhance their coping skills, and improve both the welfare of the humans and the animals in their care. This is the first book of its kind to unpack a novel application of the human-animal bond in the critical area of animal welfare. It is an indispensable resource for animal shelter professionals, foster coordinators, academic researchers, and students in the fields of animal science, animal welfare, psychology, and social work.

Fostering and the Human-Animal Bond

The dinosaur-bird transition has been intensively studied using both fossil and embryological evidence. In recent years, the notion that birds are living dinosaurs has become the mainstream opinion in paleontology. But some embryologists and ornithologists remain skeptical and accuse paleontologists of ignoring conflicting evidence. This book resolves these conflicts. Careful re-evaluation of those features in seeming contradiction reveal that such characteristics actually support and corroborate the mainstream view that birds are in fact members of a dinosaurian lineage - they are living dinosaurs.

The Characterization of Genus Ovis: Genetics, Domestication and Behavior delves into the diverse world of wild and domesticated sheep. This book offers extensive information on the genetics, evolution, diversity, behavior, expansion, breeding, and domestication of sheep. It is a comprehensive characterization of this ecologically and commercially significant genus. Written by four-time hosts of the World Sheep Conference, this book is systematically structured into four sections to guide readers through the various Ovis species, their biological characteristics, genetic markers, and significance to human populations. It offers readers new insights into the functional genetics of sheep species, their migrations and expansions in connection with human history, and guidance on successful breeding and husbandry. The Characterization of Genus Ovis: Genetics, Domestication and Behavior is organized for accessibility to student, academic, and professional audiences. It is an indispensable resource for readers interested in animal evolution, diversity, behavior, and husbandry.

In the aftermath of loss, a mother and her young son cross the ocean to a remote strip of land on the North Atlantic. Viewed from the edge, where land meets sea, coastlines become sites of constraint as well as of flux and change. Through art, philosophy, poetry, geology and Minecraft, Coutts starts to imagine new ways of being and a new existence for her small family. With the precision and clarity of the camera, Coutts combines the real with the fictional, interweaving folk song, maps and island lore to present a devastating and fierce reflection on intimacy and separation, parenthood, photography and the fragility and strangeness of our environment. What Did the Deep Sea Say? is a stunning meditation on how the physical world can bring us back to earth from the edge of grief.

Impossible Monsters is the captivating story of the discovery of the dinosaurs and how it upended our understanding of the origins of the world. 'An astonishing book about an extraordinary subject' PETER FRANKOPAN 'As thrilling as it is sweeping' TOM HOLLAND 'This book dazzles in its originality . . . a triumph' SATHNAM SANGHERA SHORTLISTED FOR THE DUFF COOPER PRIZE 2025 In 1811, a twelve-year-old girl uncovered some strange-looking bones in Britain's southern shoreline - and so sparked a crisis that would engulf science and religion for the next six decades. By its end, the literal reading of the Bible had been overturned, science had been liberated from religion and the secular age had begun. Impossible Monsters takes us into the lives and minds of the extraordinary men and women whose discovery of the dinosaurs revolutionised our understanding of the world, as well as those who resisted them and those, like Charles Darwin, who took great risks to construct a new account of the earth's and mankind's origins. It is the riveting story of a group of people who dared to think impossible things and then showed them to be true. 'Truly marvellous ... an intellectual thriller' RICHARD HOLMES 'A stunning work ... of surprises and revelations' STEVE BRUSATTE

Animal Lives

"Fongoli chimpanzees are unique for many reasons. Their female hunters are the only apes that regularly hunt with tools (tiny bush babies with wooden spears). Unlike most other chimps, these apes fear neither water nor fire, using shallow pools to cool off in the Senegalese heat. More than ninety percent of their home range burns annually-the result of human hunting or clearing for gold mining-and these apes have learned to predict the movement of such fires and to avoid them. The study of Fongoli chimps is also unique; while most primate research occurs in isolated reserves, Fongoli chimpanzees live alongside humans. As primatologist and anthropologist Jill Pruetz reports, this shared habitat creates both challenges and opportunities. The issues faced by Fongoli chimpanzees-particularly food scarcity and environmental degradation-are also issues faced by people living alongside them. This connection is one reason Pruetz, who has studied Fongoli apes for over two decades, created the non-profit Neighbor Ape in 2008 to help provide for the welfare of humans and their shared animal community. It is also why Pruetz decided to write this book, which is the first to offer readers a view of these chimps' lives and to explain specific conservation efforts needed to help them. Incorporating stories from her field work, including a compelling rescue mission of a young chimp from hunters, this book will be fascinating to anyone interested in animals and conservation"--
