    Indiana University Press 2002; US$ 18.35

    Representing Animals explores the complex and often surprising connections between our imagining of animals and our cultural environment.

The book includes topics such as pet cloning, fox hunting, animatronic characters, and how we displace our fear of aging onto our dogs. Representing Animals demonstrates the deep connections between the way we think about animals and the way we have thought about ourselves... more...

    Cambridge University Press 2002; US$ 40.00

    Carnivores such as wolves and weasels, jackals and jaguars are loved by us for their beauty and their prowess as hunters, and simultaneously despised as stock-killers, man-eaters and competitors for food and space.

  • Legitimacy in International Societyby Dr Isao Miyaoka; Richard Clogg

    Palgrave Macmillan Ltd. 2003; US$ 115.00

    Legitimacy in International Society addresses collective legitimization of emergent norms at international meetings and its effect on state behaviour. Drawing mainly on constructivist approaches in International Relations and social psychology, Isao Miyaoka discusses the international and domestic sources of legitimacy and the basic conditions under which collective legitimization matters for norm adoption. Three case studies examine Japan's responses to wildlife preservationist norms against high seas driftnet fishing, scientific whaling and international trade in African elephant ivory. more...

  • A Combined MRI and Histology Atlas of the Rhesus Monkey Brainby Kadharbatcha S. Saleem; Nikos K. Logothetis

    Elsevier 2006; US$ 310.00

    This atlas maps the detailed architectonic subdivisions of the cortical and subcortical areas in the macaque monkey brain using high-resolution magnetic resonance (MR) images and the corresponding histology sections in the same animal. This book presents the detailed mapping of the architectonic areas in the horizontal plane of sections with reference to the MRI that has not been reported previously in macaque monkeys. In the second part of the atlas, the coronal plane is presented using the same technique. A third part shows the quick identification of several important cortical and subcortical areas (around 30 areas) in horizontal, coronal and sagittal MR images. This atlas is unlike anything else available as it includes and compares each... more...
