Intimate Nature: The Bond Between Women and Animals
This is a book of essays from women of different cultures. They're grouped under headings; First People, Deep Science: Living In The Field, Borderlines: The Domesticated Wild, Relationships: Learning From Animals, Come Into Animal Presence: Testimonies, Restoration: Bringing Back The Animals. I picked stories under those headings that interested me and some others at random, I did not read the entire book. No patience. There are dozens of stories and a few poems. They did such a good job of gathering material for the book that there were so many stories, I felt overwhelmed. However, it's a fascinating variety of views about animals and their place in the world and in our lives. Some animals are just in the way to natural resources, or a new subdivision. Some domestic animals are just seen as inanimate objects that are to be used without considering that they have feelings, they feel pain. Others for centuries, like dogs, have been seen as useful to guard and herd sheep, to help with crowd control, for transportation across distances like a ranch. But only recently have we begun to really get a better idea of how amazing the dog, for example, really is. They're so helpful some can even detect cancer, know when a person has low sugar, etc. They're learning more about the dog's senses and how wonderful and helpful they can truly be. :) You can tell I'm a dog person. But the point is we know so little about the animals in our world and how they fit into the ecosystem, how important they are, what they can teach us. This book helps you to have a better understanding of this.
I recommend this book to anyone, male or female, who likes animals in general because the animals mentioned in the book are a large range from monk seals to coyotes to giraffes. In fact, I recommend this book to everyone. It may change how you perceive animals and don't be put off by the first section which is a little weird, Native American, and mystic.
