Brute Force: Policing Animal Cruelty By Arnold Arluke
2004 | 193 Pages | ISBN: 1557533504 | PDF | 15 MB
This is an insightful, analytically astute, balanced, and timely ethnographic study of humane law enforcement officers (the "animal police"). Suspended, as they are, between police officers and animal control workers, humane officers seek to safeguard the well-being and welfare of animals in a society where animal-human relationships are becoming ever more ubiquitous and ever more finely textured.Although this is not a "shock book," I still found it disconcerting to read. One would assume (as I did prior to reading this book) that if someone has taken on the responsibility of owning a domesticated/farm animal or pet, that simple utilitarian motives would move that individual to at least minimally provide for that animal[s]. This, sadly, is not always the case. I also learned that legal constructs such as "abuse" and "cruelty" are not clear cut--whether that be in the field or in the courtroom.Arluke constructs this thoughtful examination around several themes and concepts, including the emotional socialization of humane officers as they move from the idealism of newly graduated rookies to the more nuanced perspective of senior officers. Perspectives toward the meaning of work can differ as Arluke found two occupational groupings in the humane officers he studied: (1) the "police-oriented officer" and the (2) "animal-inclined officers." As reflected in their labels, the police-oriented officers identified more with the police and law enforcements aspects of their work while the animal-inclined officers were often younger, more likely to be female, and more often identified themselves as "animal people" and pet owners.I was most impressed with the work of humane officers as Arluke detailed the lengths to which these public servants would mediate with animal owners, the complainant and/or neighbors on behalf of animals. Officers bought pet food for poor owners, constructed shelters for trapped in the element animals. and went out of their way to defuse what can easily be extremely volatile situations (e.g., Humane Officer: "A complaint about animal abuse/neglect/cruelty has been made against you...." Animal Owner: "What stinking jerk said that? I want to know who that is--and now." Most troublesome was the indifference displayed by court officials, (e.g., clerks, district attorneys and judges) when humane officers felt it was necessary to file criminal charges--usually only as a last resort by humane officers who are quite aware of their low stature and legitimacy on the court docket. It is discouraging to think how difficult it is to prove abuse or cruelty and how often the animal literally has to die or be unarguably maimed before justice can be served.This is a well written and easily digested book, with something for animal lovers (even animal tolerators), and for social scientists interested in understanding the nature and importance of human-animal relationships.

Avian Influenza By H. D. Klenk, M. N. Matrosovich, J. Stech
2008 | 300 Pages | ISBN: 3805585020 | PDF | 6 MB
Because of its high impact on both animal and human health, avian influenza has become a matter of increasing public concern and growing scientific interest within the last decade. This volume gives an overview of the most important results of these research efforts and provides information about the ecology and epidemiology of avian influenza with particular emphasis on recent H5N1 outbreaks in China, Siberia and Europe. Several articles deal with new vaccination strategies, the use of antivirals and other control measures to combat outbreaks of avian influenza.Further chapters illustrate that molecular biology, culminating in the generation of influenza viruses by recombinant DNA technology, was instrumental in unraveling the roles of the viral hemagglutinin and polymerase as well as cellular signaling pathways and innate immunity in pathogenesis and interspecies transmission. Finally, the threat of a pandemic originating from avian influenza viruses is illustrated by the example of the Spanish influenza of 1918. This comprehensive publication on avian influenza viruses and their relevance for human influenza will be of great value to all influenza virologists, molecular biologists, public health scientists, veterinary virologists, ecologists, and scientists engaged in drug design and vaccine development.

Assimilation's Agent: My Life as a Superintendent in the Indian Boarding School System By Edwin L. Chalcraft, Cary C. Collins, Cary C. Collins
2004 | 437 Pages | ISBN: 0803215169 | PDF | 3 MB
Assimilation's Agent reveals the life and opinions of Edwin L. Chalcraft (1855-1943), a superintendent in the federal Indian boarding schools during the critical periodof forced assimilation in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Chalcraft was hired by the Office of Indian Affairs (now known as the Bureau of Indian Affairs) in 1883. During his nearly four decades of service, he worked at a number of Indian boarding schools and agencies, including the Chehalis Indian School in Oakville, Washington; Puyallup Indian School in Tacoma, Washington; Chemawa Indian School in Salem, Oregon; Wind River Indian School in Wind River, Wyoming; Jones Male Academy in Hartshorne, Oklahoma; and Siletz Indian Agency in Oregon. In this memoir Chalcraft discusses the Grant peace policy, the inspection system, allotment, the treatment of tuberculosis, corporal punishment, alcoholism, and patronage. Extensive coverage is also given to the Indian Shaker Church and the government's response to this perceived threat to assimilation. Assimilation's Agent illuminates the sometimes treacherous political maneuverings and difficult decisions faced by government officials at Indian boarding schools. It offers a rarely heard and today controversial "top-down" view of government policies to educate and assimilate Indians.Drawing on a large collection of unpublished letters and documents, Cary C. Collins's introduction and notes furnish important historical background and context. Assimilation's Agent illustrates the government's long-term program for dealing with Native peoples and the shortcomings of its approach during one of the most consequential eras in the long and often troubled history of American Indian and white relations.

Applying Basic Anatomy For Yoga Instructors and Everyone In Between by Alecia Croft
2020 | ASIN: B08F6DJ848 | English | 134 pages | PDF/EPUB | 5/3 MB
In my previous book titled Basic Anatomy For Yoga Instructors and Everyone In Between we discuss the basics of the human body. We covered things like bony landmarks, basic muscle actions, the effect of aging on bones and more. If you need to start at the very beginning, I hope you will start with the first book then move onto this one. We will dive into some more specific aspects of the human body.We will learn how muscles are structured and how they contract, how bones remodel and how reflexes work. We cover the origins, insertions, and actions of many muscles. The nervous system and stress response are covered more in depth in this book than in the previous one. We also cover planes of motion and I share some of my common findings for muscle imbalances.Either book can stand alone, however, some information is built upon the knowledge gained in the first one.
