Описание: A New York Times bestselling author's compelling portrait of the universal human need for animal companions-from dogs and cats to horses, birds, and snakes.In THE ANIMAL'S COMPANION, acclaimed author of Red: A History of the Redhead, Jacky Colliss Harvey turns her keen eye for cultural investigation and her remarkable story-telling skills to the history of animals as our companions in every-day life. It's a history that dates back as far as 26,000 years ago to a cave in France where anthropologists have since discovered evidence of a boy and his dog taking a walk together. From this point forward Colliss Harvey takes us on a sweeping journey through centuries and across continents to examine how our relationships with our pets have developed, but also stayed very much the same. Along the way she shares delightful stories of the most famous, endearing, and sometimes eccentric pet owners throughout history.

Описание: It has been said that the only asset that a lawyer has is time. But the reality is that a lawyer's greatest asset is information. The practice and the business of law is all about information exchange. The flow of information travels in a number of different directions during the life of a case. A client communicates certain facts to a lawyer. The lawyer assimilates those facts and seeks out specialised legal information which may be applicable to those facts. In the course of a generation there has been a technological revolution which represents a paradigm shift in the flow of information and communication. Collisions in the Digital Paradigm is about how the law deals with digital information technologies and some of the problems that arise when the law has to deal with issues arising in a new paradigm.

Описание: The battle of Gettysburg was considered to be the turning point of the War of the Southern Rebellion not necessarily because the Federal Army of the Potomac won, but because it did not lose. One of the most important phases of the battle was fought on July 2, 1863, at a place they called "the Peach Orchard." Here elements of Maj. Gen. Daniel Sickes's III U.S. Corps fought to deprive the rebels of high ground which would have allowed the rebels to shoot enfilading artillery fire into the left flank of Maj. Gen. Winfield Hancock's II U.S. Corps on Cemetery Ridge, unhinging the entire line. Brig. Gen. Charles Graham's brigade of Sickles's corps was placed in the center of this salient and the 114th Pennsylvania, (Collis's Philadelphia Zouaves), was in the center of Graham's brigade.This is the historically accurate yet fictitious story about John Tricker and his brother, Alfred, who were actual members of Company B, 114th Pennsylvania. Read about how and why they joined Collis's Zouaves and what the fighting was like for them on that fateful day at Gettysburg, July 2, 1863.

Описание: The mere mention of red hair calls to mind vivid pictures. Stereotypes of redheaded women range from the funloving scatterbrain, like Lucille Ball, to the fiery-tempered vixen or the penitent prostitute (Mary Magdalene, for example, is almost always depicted as a redhead). Red-haired men are often associated with either the savage barbarian or the redheaded clown. But why is this so? RED: A HISTORY OF THE REDHEAD is the first book to explore the history of red-headedness throughout the world. With an obsessive fascination that is as contagious as it is compelling, author Jacky Colliss Harvey begins her quest in prehistory and traces the redhead gene as it made its way out of Africa with the early human diaspora, only to emerge under Northern skies. She goes on to explore red hair in the ancient world (from the Tarim mummies in China to the Islamic kingdom of the Khazars); the prejudice manifested against red hair across medieval Europe; red hair during the Renaissance as both an indicator of Jewishness during the Inquisition and the height of fashion in Protestant England, where it was made famous by the Henry VIII and Elizabeth I; the modern age of art, and literature, and the first positive symbols of red hair in children's characters; modern medicine and science and the genetic and chemical decoding of red hair; and finally, red hair in contemporary culture, from advertising and exploitation to "gingerism" and the new movement against bullying.More than a book for redheads, RED is the exploration of evolution and gene mutation, as well as a compelling social and cultural study of how prejudice and misconceptions of "other" are handed down through generations and from one culture to another.
