Janet and Steven Alger contend that the anti-social cat is a myth; cats form close bonds with humans and with each other. In the potentially chaotic environment of a shelter that houses dozens of uncaged cats, they reveal a sense of self and build a culture-a shared set of rules, roles, and expectations that organizes their world and assimilates newcomers.As volunteers in a local cat shelter for eleven years, the Algers came to realize that despite the frequencyAnimals, culture, and society.CatsBehaviorCatsSocial aspectsAnimal sheltersHuman-animal relationshipsElectronic books.CatsBehavior.CatsSocial aspects.Animal shelters.Human-animal relationships.636.8Alger Janet M.1937-1044997Alger Steven F.1941-1044998MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910456715503321Cat culture2470942UNINA04509oam 2200709 a 450 991096148110332120251116180913.01-84217-804-01-299-48523-51-84217-806-7(CKB)2550000001020601(EBL)3007528(SSID)ssj0000872174(PQKBManifestationID)12430888(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000872174(PQKBWorkID)10831096(PQKB)10674701(Au-PeEL)EBL3007528(CaPaEBR)ebr10695227(CaONFJC)MIL479773(OCoLC)842266005(Perlego)103(MiAaPQ)EBC3007528(EXLCZ)99255000000102060120100810h20102010 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierSamothracian connections essays in honor of James R.

McCredie in celebration of his outstanding contribution to the excavation and study of the sanctuary of the Great Gods on the Greek island of Samothrace. The papers focus mainly on the art and archaeology of Samothrace, while two contributions discuss Alexandria in Egypt and Florina in Macedonia, two areas that were closely connected with Samothrace in antiquity. The volume covers the latest research on the architecture, sculpture, pottery, epigraphy and cult of the sanctuary of the Great Gods on Samothrace, and contains many original architectural drawings and photos of previously unpublished material.
