"The cat--that most graceful, stubborn, and agile of animals--has been a favorite subject of artists the world over from prehistory to the modern day. A spectacular 7,000-year-old engraving in Libya depicts a catfight. Figures modeled by the Babylonians remind us of their belief that the souls of priests were escorted to paradise by a helpful cat. Pablo Picasso was known to have loved cats and famously portrayed them as savage predators. In Victorian times, cats were depicted in loving family groups with mothers caring for their playful kittens. Today, the cat is one of the most popular domestic pets on the planet, and feline art is a hugely popular theme across the world. In his latest eye-catching book, best-selling author Desmond Morris tells the compelling story of cats in art. He explores feline art in its many forms, tracing its history from ancient rock paintings and spectacular Egyptian art to the work of old masters, avant-garde representations, and the depiction of cats in cartoons. Morris discusses the various ways in which artists have approached the subject throughout history, weaving illuminating stories with rarely seen images. The result is a beautifully illustrated book that will delight anyone with a Kitty, Max, or Tigger in their life."--

C’est au Ier millénaire av. J.-C. que le dromadaire et, plus marginalement, le chameau commencent à imposer leurs hautes silhouettes sur les routes du Proche-Orient et d’Égypte. Réunis lors de deux ateliers, à Lyon puis à Nanterre, seize archéologues et historiens ont tenté de prendre la mesure de cette révolution chamelière. Du Xinjiang au désert Libyque, l’usage de plus en plus intensif des grands camélidés de l’ancien monde est en effet venu bouleverser les domaines du transport caravanier mais aussi l’agriculture, redessinant les routes commerciales, accroissant les capacités d’exportation des oasis, désenclavant des régions autrefois isolées. Devenus progressivement une pièce majeure des systèmes économiques des régions désertiques ou semi-désertiques, les camélidés demeurent en même temps associés à des populations nomades disposant d’un savoir-faire sans lequel l’élevage et le dressage de ces grands animaux se révèlent impossibles à réaliser. Les sources écrites (akkadiennes, bibliques, démotiques, grecques…) mais aussi l’archéozoologie, l’iconographie, sans oublier l’ethnologie et la zootechnologie, sont convoquées pour traiter cette révolution chamelière dans ses multiples aspects. Ce livre présente un très grand nombre de documents, dont des inédits, et aborde un large éventail de thématiques : les différents usages des camélidés, le lien entre ces animaux et les populations nomades et sédentaires, leur place au sein des imaginaires des peuples d’Asie et d’Égypte, mais aussi dans la vie quotidienne des Grecs, Romains, Nabatéens, Arabes, habitants du Levant byzantin, populations d’Asie centrale ; au sein d’environnements aussi variés que la Mésopotamie, l’Assyrie, la péninsule Arabique, le Levant, l’Égypte et l’Asie centrale. Deux articles sur le devenir récent de l’animal et sur les pratiques actuelles de l’élevage camelin en Mongolie complètent ce tour d’horizon sur un animal décidément central dans l’histoire des régions envisagées. During the first…

De erfelijkheid van bepaalde psychische eigenschappen is een thema dat sinds jaar en dag wetenschappers bezig houdt. Afwisselend wordt in dit debat meer de klemtoon gelegd op erfelijkheid of op milieu. Het tweelingonderzoek is in deze discussie richtinggevend. Het belang van deze wetenschappelijke ontwikkelingen is groot: ze kan mee leiden tot een beter begrip en mogelijks ook adequater behandelen van psychische aandoeningen.
