Warning Signs of Genocide
Author: E.N. Anderson

Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing PLC
Release Date: 2012-10-26
Genocide occurs when a government attempts to exterminate systematically a large percentage of its own citizens or subjects, simply because they fall into a particular group defined by religion, ethnicity, political affiliation, or (rarely) other group identification ranging from occupation to gender status. Genocide has been a major cause of death worldwide over the last 100 years or more, and is far from being eliminated. Through examining available cases, Warning Signs of Genocide: An Anthropological Perspective shows that genocide becomes a live danger when group hatreds—especially religious, ethnic, and political—are exploited by political regimes as major ways of seizing and maintaining power. Genocide is actually invoked, however, only when such regimes feel they are threatened, usually either because they are new and not consolidated in power or because they are challenged by local rebellions, civil war, or (less often) international war or major economic decline. Knowing these warning signs should make the international community take note that genocide is virtually certain to occur, and take action to stop it. This book joins others in noting that the international community has rarely intervened in time, and in the hope that these findings will encourage more prompt action.

The ravenous crow is a fascinating and enigmatic bird that has captured the imagination of humans for centuries. In this book, we will explore the many facets of the crow, from its diet and behavior to its symbolism and impact on human culture. Crows are found on every continent except Antarctica, and they have adapted to a wide range of habitats, from forests to deserts to urban environments. They are known for their intelligence and problem-solving skills, and they are able to use tools and have a capacity for empathy. Crows are also social animals, and they live in complex social groups. The crow has a long and rich history in human mythology and folklore. In many cultures, the crow is associated with death and rebirth. In some cultures, the crow is seen as a harbinger of good luck, while in others it is seen as a harbinger of bad luck. The crow has also been a popular subject in literature, art, and music. William Shakespeare wrote about crows in several of his plays, and Edgar Allan Poe's poem "The Raven" is one of the most famous poems in American literature. In this book, we will explore all aspects of the crow, from its biology to its cultural significance. We will learn about the crow's diet, behavior, habitat, and social structure. We will also explore the crow's symbolism in different cultures and its impact on human art and literature. We hope that this book will help you to appreciate the many wonders of the ravenous crow.

In the Company of Crows and Ravens
Author: John M. Marzluff
language: en
Publisher: Yale University Press
Release Date: 2008-10-01
“Crows and people share similar traits and social strategies. To a surprising extent, to know the crow is to know ourselves.”—from the Preface From the cave walls at Lascaux to the last painting by Van Gogh, from the works of Shakespeare to those of Mark Twain, there is clear evidence that crows and ravens influence human culture. Yet this influence is not unidirectional, say the authors of this fascinating book: people profoundly influence crow culture, ecology, and evolution as well. John Marzluff and Tony Angell examine the often surprising ways that crows and humans interact. The authors contend that those interactions reflect a process of “cultural coevolution.” They offer a challenging new view of the human-crow dynamic—a view that may change our thinking not only about crows but also about ourselves. Featuring more than 100 original drawings, the book takes a close look at the influences people have had on the lives of crows throughout history and at the significant ways crows have altered human lives. In the Company of Crows and Ravens illuminates the entwined histories of crows and people and concludes with an intriguing discussion of the crow-human relationship and how our attitudes toward crows may affect our cultural trajectory.
