DURING recent years we have heard much about the great and rapid changes now going on in the plants and animals of all the temperate regions of the globe colonized by Europeans. These changes, if taken merely as evidence of material progress, must be a matter of rejoicing to those who are satisfied, and more than satisfied, with our system of civilization, or method of outwitting Nature by the removal of all checks on the undue increase of our own species. To one who finds a charm in things as they exist in the unconquered provinces of Nature's dominions, and who, not being over-anxious to reach the end of his journey, is content to perform it on horseback, or in a waggon drawn by bullocks, it is permissible to lament the altered aspect of the earth's surface, together with the disappearance of numberless noble and beautiful forms, both of the animal and vegetable kingdoms.
A detailed account of Rabindranath’s stay in Argentina, this book by Victoria Ocampo is an important document in tracing Indo-Argentine contact. This first English translation of the book makes it available to the larger English-speaking world. Its critical introduction uncovers the backdrop of Ocampo’s text in such a way that it helps the reader to situate the work within its specific context, and also raises significant critical questions. Scholars interested in Rabindranath Tagore or Victoria Ocampo, or Indo-Argentine contact in general, will benefit from the book’s notes and annotated bibliography. In addition, readers interested in translation studies will also find the volume helpful.
Presents Darwin's masterwork on evolution with extensive annotations by an experienced field biologist.
Oliver P. Pearson’s studies on mammalian biology remain standard reading for ecologists, physiologists, taxonomists, and biogeographers. Reflecting this, the papers gathered here continue to expand our understanding of the ecology and evolution of subterranean mammals, and of ecology, taxonomy, and biogeography of Neotropical mammals, a group that was central to the latter half of Pearson’s career.
C. Gasquoine Hartley's 'The Truth about Woman' is a thought-provoking feminist book that delves into the nature and purpose of women, from a biological, historical, and modern perspective. Hartley argues that women hold the biological trump card and emphasizes that equality of opportunity is only a starting point for women's freedom. She draws heavily on the work of Darwin and Havelock Ellis to illustrate how all single-celled organisms are essentially female, and she examines some species where the females are dominant, such as spiders. Hartley's study of history is fascinating as she presents evidence to suggest that women are actually superior to men, with barely a single activity of developing society - farming, business, religion - which was not originally within the female domain.
