Book Description
Professor Belville-Smith had bored university audiences in England with the same lecture for fifty years. Now he was crossing the Australian continent, doing precisely the same. Never before had the reaction been so extreme, however, for shortly after an undistinguished appearance at Drummondale University, the doddering old professor is found brutally murdered. As Police Inspector Royle (who had never actually had to solve a crime before) probes the possible motives of the motley crew of academics who drink their way through the dreary days at Drummondale and as he investigates the bizarre behavior of some worthy locals, a hilarious, highly satirical portrait of life down under emerges.

Animal Intimacies
Author: Radhika Govindrajan
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022656004X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 235
Book Description
“A delightful read [and] an important addition to human-animal relations studies.” —Anthropology Matters What does it mean to live and die in relation to other animals? Animal Intimacies posits this central question alongside the intimate—and intense—moments of care, kinship, violence, politics, indifference, and desire that occur between human and non-human animals. Built on extensive ethnographic fieldwork in the mountain villages of India’s Central Himalayas, Radhika Govindrajan’s book explores the number of ways that human and animal interact to cultivate relationships as interconnected, related beings. Whether it is through the study of the affect and ethics of ritual animal sacrifice, analysis of the right-wing political project of cow-protection, or examination of villagers’ talk about bears who abduct women and have sex with them, Govindrajan illustrates that multispecies relatedness relies on both difference and ineffable affinity between animals. Animal Intimacies breaks substantial new ground in animal studies, and Govindrajan’s detailed portrait of the social, political and religious life of the region will be of interest to cultural anthropologists and scholars of South Asia as well. “Immerses us in passionate case studies on the multiple relationships between Kumaoni villagers and animals in Uttarakhand.” —European Bulletin of Himalayan Research “A memorable and innovative ethnography.” —Piers Locke, University of Canterbury

Knock, and then enter the Goat Locker. Retired Master Chief Firecontrolman Bob Kensey pondered what to do next. The cold, wet, windy, Seattle winter slogged toward spring with little notice. His pet project, the radio room addition to his favorite hangout, the Safe Haven Bar and Grill, was nearly complete. The first fishing trip in his new boat was successful and the freezer was filled with fresh Willamette Springer salmon. Master Chief Kensey longed for some excitement. He missed his own command, The Boeing built, PHM class hydrofoil, Goat Locker, and the crew he assembled to complete a difficult mission dropped on him by a high-ranking DEA agent, Jim Billings. Bob silently grumbled to himself and poured a generous dram of Chimeaud brandy. "All I have to look forward to is a night at the ballet and maybe another fishing trip with my good friend Black Cloud. I hope Bill Masters and Boats commission their schooner soon! I am ready for a vacation in Baja, California and several weeks in the sun." Bob sipped the fine brandy, concentrated on an excuse acceptable to his lady friend, Lois in order to ditch the ballet. He subconsciously fished the one-number satellite phone given to him by Jim Billings, who he and his crew dubbed Gman, from the kitchen junk drawer, selected station one and punched send . . .
