Awe for the Tiger, Love for the Lamb: A Chronicle of Sensibility to Animals

Book Description

Respect for animals has always been a part of human consciousness. Poets, thinkers, philosophers, scientists and statesmen have long celebrated our compassion towards Earth's other beasts.

Awe for the Tiger, Love for the Lamb compiles the most significant statements of sensibility to animals in the history of thought. From the myths of the ancient world to the Middle Ages to Darwin and beyond, Preece captures the most telling and fascinating accounts of humankind's relationship to the wild world, placing them in historical context.

Jung called it "an unconscious identity with animals," while Wordsworth saw it as the "primal sympathy which having been must ever be." Linking the diverse chords of human experience that are touched by the animal world, Preece shows that despite a historical thread of cruelty, there still remains in all humanity a constant underlying concern for other beings as an integral part of the moral community.

With musings and meditations from Lao Tse to Mohammed, from Plato to Jane Goodall, from classical religion to parliamentary proceedings, Awe for the Tiger, Love for the Lamb is an original, superbly researched history that deepens our understanding of all living beings.

Book Description

Customer Reviews:

Feeling green.......2007-02-17

This is number two of a series. It is about two girls that get in a huge fight over a boy named Timothy. What happened was, Timothy was going out with Shawna and then he broke up with her to go out with her friend Jordan. Now Shawna is spreading all kinds of rumors about Jordan. This book has a lot of drama in it, so if you like books with drama in it you will love this book. What I like about this book is, that it has good descriptive words and really helps the reader visualize what's going on in the story. I also like the title Deep Green. I like reading books with a lot of drama and this book has a lot of that. It was so good that at one point I didn't want to put the book down. I think you will really enjoy this book.

The Love Triangle.......2006-05-23

Deep Green is a very dramatic book about a girl named Jordan who somehow gets trapped in a Love Triangle. Jordan is a cheerleader at her school along with her so-called best friends. Now that Jordan has become a cheerleader she has also earned a good reputation with the boys. Jordan finds herself in love with a senior, Timothy, who is her best friend, Shawna's, ex-boyfriend. The real drama comes when Shawna finds out about Jordan and Timothy. So Shawna tries everything in her strength to get Timothy back. Jordan isn't about to give up the one she loves, so she does everything she can to get him back in her arms. Every attempt that she makes becomes a failure. So finally Jordan finds help in God.

Deep Green is a very good book. This book shows what kids go through on a day-to-day basis. Deep Green also teaches you that there are more important things in life than relationships, things like God and friends. This book is a great influence on teens because it shows you that no matter what trouble you go through, God will always be there for you.

disturbingly accurate.......2006-05-09

I could definitely relate to this book, despite the fact that I'm 23 and didn't date as much as the main character in this book back when I was in high school. The drama, the craziness, the moodiness, the backstabbing, alcohol, wild parties, lying, gossip, friend/enemy world of the popular crowd at the average high school is laid bare here, trust me, I was with that crowd in high school. This book's main focus is on Jordan Ferguson, the former best friend of Kara from the first book in this series. Thrust into the world of the popular crowd at sixteen via the cheerleading squad (much like I was except my clothing got me there) Jordan quickly discovers their shallowness and the rage of Shawna Frye when she steals Shawna's boyfriend Timothy. Shawna will do anything to get her boyfriend back, and she ultimately does, and Jordan plots and schemes and tries to find a way to get Timothy back, as she is convinced that she loves him, heck, she's even willing to have sex with him if he will come back to her. A dozen or so pranks ensue, including a car accident, hacking into an email account, deliberately slashing tires, and a setup. When Jordan's world falls apart, she finally decides to give Kara a chance again, but will she listen? I found that this book was better than the first book in the series, and a lot more easy to relate to than Carlson's Diary of a Teenage Girl series. Highly recommended. I found that this book accurately portrays the world of the popular crowd in the average high school.

Deep Book.......2006-04-24

This book is the second book in the true colors sequel. It talks a lot about friends being jealous of each other because of a guy and what they would each do to get him to be a part of their life. One of the girls is in so much trouble and confusion that she goes back to one of her old friends that she dumped when she made cheerleading and started hanging out with the cool kids.
I liked this book because it talks a lot about teenage girls average life and some people might be able to relate to this book and figure out some of there own problems.
I disliked this book because even if some girls are going threw what the book talks about some things are hard to believe that they would ever happen.
I would recommend this book to anyone who has read any other of Melody Carlson's books.

An accurate portrayal of the pitfalls of high school dating, social mores, and teenage insecurities.......2006-03-17

For readers new to Melody Carlson's series that centers on specific emotional states, this second installment continues where the first ended. In book one, DARK BLUE: COLOR ME LONELY, Carlson featured two high school girls who went their separate ways after one-half of the duo, Jordan Ferguson, made the cheerleading squad and callously abandoned her longtime friend for the popular set. After months of mental and emotional torture, Jordan's former best friend, Kara Hendricks, finds a personal faith in God and begins reordering her once shattered world much to Jordan's continued disapproval.

DEEP GREEN: COLOR ME JEALOUS includes both characters, yet the focus is now on Jordan's trials and tribulations as the newbie to the cheerleading world of cutthroat competition and backstabbing smile to your face, so-called friend/enemy camp. It doesn't take long for Jordan to unwittingly step on some socially uppity toes before a war breaks out, and Jordan becomes the sometimes victim, other times co-initiator scheming her own brand of vengeance tactics.

The script? Jordan steals another cheerleader's boyfriend and Shawna Frye is out for blood. Specifically, Jordan denies causing the breakup between Shawna and Timothy Lawrence and soon begins denying her own personal standards in hopes of keeping her new boyfriend close by and interested. Enter the often shortsighted and regret-laced party scene, where it becomes clear that Timothy is neither the gentleman nor the selfless hero Jordan had envisioned. In true nightmare form, Timothy places himself back in Shawna's arms. Jordan is crushed, then angry, then consumed by jealousy.

Carlson's portrayal of the emotional posture of a jilted and envious teen is compelling, and it hurts to read about Jordan's pain (much of it self-imposed). Still, the author knows how to sustain interest and Jordan's journey to a healthier, saner, mental place is entirely believable. By book's end, Jordan realizes that Kara's faith just might be more than a passing fad, and she takes a serious and introspective look at exactly what believing in Christ can mean for her personally.

Young adults will appreciate Carlson's accurate portrayal of the pitfalls of high school dating, social mores, and all the lingering doubts that make their way to a person's deepest core.

Book Description

The Song of Hiawatha (1855) is Longfellow's most popular and most recognized poem, the epic life and death of a magic American Indian, sent by the Great Spirit to guide the nations in the ways of peace. Hiawatha's marriage to Minnehaha commences a golden age, until mischievous spirits entice Hiawatha into further adventures.

Download Description

The Song of Hiawatha is based on the legends and stories of many North American Indian tribes, but especially those of the Ojibway Indians of northern Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. They were collected by Henry Rowe Schoolcraft, the reknowned historian, pioneer explorer, and geologist. He was superintendent of Indian affairs for Michigan from 1836 to 1841. Schoolcraft married Jane, O-bah-bahm-wawa-ge-zhe-go-qua (The Woman of the Sound Which the Stars Make Rushing Through the Sky), Johnston. Jane was a daughter of John Johnston, an early Irish fur trader, and O-shau-gus-coday-way-qua (The Woman of the Green Prairie), who was a daughter of Waub-o-jeeg (The White Fisher), who was Chief of the Ojibway tribe at La Pointe, Wisconsin. Jane and her mother are credited with having researched, authenticated, and compiled much of the material Schoolcraft included in his Algic Researches (1839) and a revision published in 1856 as The Myth of Hiawatha. It was this latter revision that Longfellow used as the basis for The Song of Hiawatha.

Customer Reviews:

Longfellow's saga is pure New England Renaissance........2007-04-28

Although very popular in its day; Longfellow's "Song of Hiawatha" was later viewed to be superficial and saccharine. Where as Walt Whitman may have spoken with more of an organic American voice, Longfellow drew upon English Romantic models and looked to Norse and especially the Finnish epic or "edda" "Kalevala" for inspiration.

Not with standing; Longfellow's saga is pure New England Renaissance; touching upon values and aesthetics characteristic of Longfellow's circle: Oliver Wendell Holmes, Emerson and Thoreau.

The nature-painting of the "Song of Hiawatha" is outstanding; the poetry is full of quotables; and the over-arching message is profound.

Haiwatha's tale.......1999-10-01

An undying tale.. legend... song... Wonderful poetry, the language is simply astounding! I have read the russian translation by Bounin, which was as remarkable as the original.

The language/ rhythm is as mythical and lovely as the plot.......1998-10-31

A book for generations. Mine was published 1898 and given me by my mother whose father(b.1875) gave it to her. It goes to the heart of the Indian race, a people susceptible to mythology and magic as their last great hope. Read it with an open mind, imagination, and for its beauty.

This is a great campfire book that really makes you think........1996-12-08

"The Song of Hiawatha" is the best book I have ever been exposed to. Every time I hear the wonderful rhyme of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, I begin to think of what this land was like before the Europeans conquered it. It is a wonderful tale of peace between nations and a great book to read to children.
