Book Description
Excerpt from The Birds of Oxfordshire Within the last thirty years a number of works treating of the ornithology of different districts in Great Britain have appeared. Not only do these afford to the resident of some particular locality trustworthy information about the birds of his own neighbourhood, but they also supply ornithologists generally with the means of comparing the avifauna of various districts, and of determining with some accuracy the distribution of the birds of these islands during the time which they spend within our shores. With the exception of Middlesex, Nottinghamshire, Northamptonshire, Herefordshire, Wiltshire Berkshire, and Buckinghamshire, the counties thus treated of have been those possessing a considerable extent of seaboard, and no work upon the birds of Oxfordshire in a collected and accessible form has yet been written. To fill up this blank, in some measure at the least, by contributing to the series of county faunal works the requisite information relating to Oxfordshire, and to furnish the residents in the county with some idea of the bids around them, are the objects of the present volume.

The Oxford Handbook of Animals in Classical Thought and Life
Author: Gordon Lindsay CampbellPublisher: OUP Oxford
ISBN: 0191035165
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 757
Book Description
The Oxford Handbook of Animals in Classical Thought and Life is the first comprehensive guide to animals in the ancient world, encompassing all aspects of the topic by featuring authoritative chapters on 33 topics by leading scholars in their fields. As well as an introduction to, and a survey of, each topic, it provides guidance on further reading for those who wish to study a particular area in greater depth. Both the realities and the more theoretical aspects of the treatment of animals in ancient times are covered in chapters which explore the domestication of animals, animal husbandry, animals as pets, Aesop's Fables, and animals in classical art and comedy, all of which closely examine the nature of human-animal interaction. More abstract and philosophical topics are also addressed, including animal communication, early ideas on the origin of species, and philosophical vegetarianism and the notion of animal rights.
