The Ménagerie du Jardin des Plantes in Paris, founded in 1793, didn't offer its great apes lessons in parenting or perform dental surgery on leopards. Certainly the introduction of veterinary care in the nineteenth century-and its gradual integration into the twentieth-has had much to do with this. Today, we expect more of zoos as animal welfare concerns have escalated along with steady advances in science, medicine, and technology. Life at the Zoo is an eminent zoo veterinarian's personal account of the challenges presented by the evolution of zoos and the expectations of their visitors. Based on fifteen years of work at the world-famous San Diego Zoo, this charming book reveals the hazards and rewards of running a modern zoo. Zoos exist outside of the "natural" order in which the worlds of humans and myriad exotic animals would rarely, if ever, collide. But this unlikely encounter is precisely why today's zoos remain the sites of much humor, confusion, and, occasionally, danger. This book abounds with insights on wildlife (foulmouthed parrots, gum-chewing chimps, stinky flamingoes), human behavior (the fierce competition for zookeeper jobs, the well-worn shtick of tour guides), and the casualties-both animal and human-of ignorance and carelessness. Phillip Robinson shows how animal exhibits are developed and how illnesses are detected and describes the perils of working around dangerous creatures. From escaping the affections of a leopard that thought he was a lap cat to training a gorilla to hold her newborn baby gently (instead of scrubbing the floor with it) and from operating on an anesthetized elephant ("I had the insecure sensation of working under a large dump truck with a wobbly support jack") to figuring out why a zoo's polar bears were turning green in color, Life at the Zoo tells irresistible stories about zoo animals and zoo people.ZoosElectronic books.Zoos.590.73Robinson Phillip T972239MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910452036603321Life at the zoo2471342UNINA03355nam 22006972 450 991082239360332120230713232133.01-139-88831-51-139-79378-01-139-78340-81-107-52978-61-139-77637-11-139-78240-10-511-92050-41-139-77941-91-139-77789-0(CKB)2550000001115185(EBL)1042470(OCoLC)857364750(SSID)ssj0000821326(PQKBManifestationID)11510318(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000821326(PQKBWorkID)10870478(PQKB)10923791(UkCbUP)CR9780511920509(MiAaPQ)EBC1042470(Au-PeEL)EBL1042470(CaPaEBR)ebr10752968(CaONFJC)MIL515487(EXLCZ)99255000000111518520100920d2013|||| uy 0engur|||||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierThe logic of law-making in Islam women and prayer in the legal tradition /Behnam SadeghiCambridge :Cambridge University Press,2013.1 online resource (xxi, 215 pages) digital, PDF file(s)Cambridge studies in Islamic civilization1-107-00909-X 1-299-84236-4 Includes bibliographical references and index.A general model -- Preliminaries -- Women praying with men : adjacency -- Women praying with women -- Women praying with men : communal prayers -- The historical development of Ḥanafī reasoning -- From laws and values -- The logic of law making -- Appendix. The authenticity of early Ḥanafī texts : two books of al-Shaybānī.This pioneering study examines the process of reasoning in Islamic law. Some of the key questions addressed here include whether sacred law operates differently from secular law, why laws change or stay the same and how different cultural and historical settings impact the development of legal rulings. In order to explore these questions, the author examines the decisions of thirty jurists from the largest legal tradition in Islam: the Hanafi school of law. He traces their rulings on the question of women and communal prayer across a very broad period of time - from the eighth to the eighteenth century - to demonstrate how jurists interpreted the law and reconciled their decisions with the scripture and the sayings of the Prophet. The result is a fascinating overview of how Islamic law has evolved and the thinking behind individual rulings.Cambridge studies in Islamic civilization.Islamic lawMethodologyIslamic lawPhilosophyIslamic lawInterpretation and constructionIslamic lawMethodology.Islamic lawPhilosophy.Islamic lawInterpretation and construction.297.3/82082HIS026000bisacshSadeghi Behnam1969-711769UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910822393603321The logic of law-making in Islam4061195UNINA
