Readers will delight in tales of house cats who teach monks how to meditate, shamans who shape-shift into jaguars, crickets who perform Catholic mass, rivers that grant salvation, and many others. In addition to being a collection of wonderful stories, this book introduces important concepts and approaches that underlie much recent work in environmental ethics, religion, and ecology. Daniel Capper's light touch prompts readers to engage their own views of humanity's place in the natural world and question longstanding assumptions of human superiority. 606 $aNature$xReligious aspects$vComparative studies 606 $aAnimals$xReligious aspects$vComparative studies 606 $aAnimals (Philosophy) 606 $aHuman-animal relationships$xPhilosophy 606 $aHuman-animal relationships$xReligious aspects$vComparative studies 610 $abig cat lover. 610 $abig cat. 610 $abuddhist. 610 $acat lover. 610 $achinese. 610 $achristian. 610 $aecology. 610 $aenvironmentalism. 610 $aethics. 610 $ahimalayan. 610 $ahindu. 610 $ahuman animal relationships. 610 $ainternational. 610 $amayan. 610 $amuslim. 610 $amythology. 610 $anatural world. 610 $anature. 610 $aredemption. 610 $areligion. 610 $asalvation. 610 $ashaman. 610 $ashamanic traditions. 610 $ashape shifting. 610 $ashort stories. 610 $aspiritual. 610 $aspirituality. 610 $astories of faith. 610 $atiger lover. 610 $atiger. 610 $awild animal. 610 $aworld religion. 615 0$aNature$xReligious aspects 615 0$aAnimals$xReligious aspects 615 0$aAnimals (Philosophy) 615 0$aHuman-animal relationships$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aHuman-animal relationships$xReligious aspects 676 $a202.12 700 $aCapper$b Daniel$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01464518 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798290803321 996 $aLearning Love from a Tiger$93674187 997 $aUNINA
