Gregory McNamee Libri

From the Grand Canyon to saguaro forests near Tucson, Arizona has more national parks, monuments, historic and cultural sites than any other state. Stories in Monumental Places tell why these scenic treasures are embedded in Arizona's heritage. Illustrating this exciting tour of the sites are stunning images by Arizona Highways photographers, who are among the best in the world.

The book presents a collection of stories from Aelian's De Natura Animalium, offering a glimpse into ancient Roman perspectives on animal behavior and cognition. Translated and edited by Gregory McNamee, it serves as an early encyclopedia that reveals insights into the understanding of animals during that time, making it a valuable resource for modern scholars interested in the historical views on animal minds. The stories are arranged in a mostly random order, adding a unique structure to the exploration of these themes.
