    • Historie psích plemen

      • 276pagine
      • 10 ore di lettura

      Zajímá Vás, kde se vzala různá psí plemena? Rádi se začtete do různých mýtů a pověstí? Pak je tato kniha právě pro Vás. V 67 kapitolách (každá je věnována jednomu či více příbuzných plemen) se dočtete fakta i různá vyprávění. Zjistíte, jaké slavné osobnosti to které plemeno vlastnili a jak se dostali tito psi do Ameriky. To, že autoři pocházejí z Floridy, poznáte i na konci každé kapitoly, kde najdete Základní údaje. Informace o povaze a využití jsou samozřejmě stejné jako ty, které najdete ve standardech FCI. Horší to už je se vzhledem a hlavně se zbarvením některých plemen. To musíte brát trochu s rezervou. Přesto je tato ojedinělá publikace psí historie určitě pro kynology velmi zajímavá.

      A Native American Bestiary

      Published in 1986, Meditations with Animals was the first bestiary ever compiled from Native Americans showing the guiding roles animals have played in their spiritual history. These stories and poems contain the rites and rituals of a variety of tribes, depicting a world unified by the belief that the animal spirit dwells within each of us. With the power given him by the animals, man can transcend his earthly world and enter into a unique oneness with things seen and not seen by the senses. “In this collection of verse and story", says Thomas Berry in his introduction, "we are brought into the primordial community of the universe, the Earth, and all living things.”
