Klüger als wir denken: Wozu Tiere Fähig Sind
by Juliane BräuerWarum Hunde Zeichen verstehen, Papageien zählen können und Buschhäher für die Zukunft planen Seit Jahrhunderten stellen wir Menschen uns immer wieder die Frage: Was unterscheidet uns von den Tieren? Was können wir, was Tiere nicht können? Sind wir einzigartig? Auf den ersten Blick scheint die Antwort klar. Wir bauen Computer, wir fliegen zum Mond, wir führen Kriege. Tiere tun das nicht. Auf den zweiten Blick liegen die Dinge nicht so einfach. Denn es stellt sich sofort die tiefergehende Frage nach den Ursachen: Warum sind und leben wir so anders? Wie kam es in der Evolution dazu? Die Antwort darauf lautet: Es sind ganz offensichtlich die kognitiven Fähigkeiten, die uns Menschen von den Tieren unterscheiden. Liegt unser Erfolgsgeheimnis also in der Art, wie wir unsere Umwelt wahrnehmen und verstehen? Die Biologin Juliane Bräuer berichtet in ihrem neuen Buch vom Erkenntnisvermögen der Tiere im Vergleich mit dem der Menschen. Ihre These, die sie mit zahlreichen Beispielen belegt, lautet: Viele kognitive Fähigkeiten des Menschen lassen sich – zumindest in Ansätzen – auch bei Tieren finden. Offenbar unterscheiden wir uns doch weniger von ihnen, als wir bislang angenommen haben. Das spannende, mit Grafiken von Alex Chauvel ausgestattete Buch lehrt uns, die erstaunlichen Denk-, Problemlösungs- und Planungsfähigkeiten der Tiere zu würdigen. Und es zeigt, dass wir gar nicht so einzigartig sind, wie wir immer dachten. Küken können rechnen. Vögel planen. Affen bauen Werkzeuge. Tiere sind klüger als wir denken. Die Biologin und Verhaltensforscherin Juliane Bräuer erzählt in diesem kurzweiligen und leicht verständlichen Buch von innovativen Experimenten und überraschenden Erkenntnissen aus der Kognitionsforschung und der vergleichenden Psychologie. Sie beschreibt, wie sich unser Wissen darüber, was Tiere alles können, in kurzer Zeit grundlegend gewandelt hat. Das Buch stellt nicht nur die Ergebnisse wissenschaftlicher Studien vor, sondern beschreibt auch die Untersuchungen selbst auf anschauliche Art und Weise. Und es erklärt, welche Schlussfolgerungen daraus gezogen werden können. Die Darstellung ist in zwei Teile gegliedert. Im ersten Teil geht es um die „physikalische Kognition“, also darum, wie Tiere ihre physikalische Umwelt wahrnehmen und verstehen, im zweiten um die „soziale Kognition“, also darum, wie sie ihre soziale Umwelt verstehen. Die Kapitel des Buches widmen sich je einer Fähigkeit, die als einzigartig menschlich galt oder gilt. Sie werden mit einer Szene eingeleitet, in der die jeweilige Fähigkeit erklärt und ihr Nutzen aufgezeigt wird. Anschließend werden die wichtigsten und erstaunlichsten wissenschaftlichen Studien aus dem Themengebiet beschrieben. 30 eigens für dieses Buch angefertigte zweifarbige Grafiken von Alex Chauvel veranschaulichen die Untersuchungen und ihre Ergebnisse.

Kottas on Dressage
by Arthur Kottas-HeldenbergKottas on Dressage is a distillation of the practice and philosophy of one of the most highly regarded international trainers of the current era. Having stressed the need for the rider to establish correct posture and a thorough understanding of the aids before attempting to train the horse, the book highlights the value of establishing rapport with the horse and enhancing his mental responses and developing his physique with groundwork before progressing to work under saddle. The text then focuses on thorough, incremental development of the basic gaits, explains the value and execution of the lateral exercises and introduces advanced work including tempi changes, pirouettes, piaffe and passage. A number of commonly encountered problems are analysed, and remedies offered. Underpinning the whole text is the author s fundamental stance on horses and training: I always see the horse as a partner. He must be trained slowly and patiently.

by Giuseppe Vallar Anna Cantagallo Stefano Cappa Pierluigi ZoccolottiIl volume presenta i lavori di revisione della letteratura relativa alla riabilitazione neuropsicologica effettuati come lavoro preparatorio per la Consensus Conference sulla Riabilitazione neuropsicologica che si è tenuta a Siena nel febbraio del 2010 sotto gli auspici di una serie di associazioni e società scientifiche e professionali.

La Vie: A year in rural France
by John Lewis-StempelAN INDIE BESTSELLER'It reminded me all over again of why I threw up everything for the magic of La Belle France' Carol Drinkwater, author of The Olive Farm'An utterly beguiling immersion in La France Profonde, keenly observed and beautifully told' Felicity Cloake, author of One More Croissant for the RoadFor fans of Peter Mayle, 'Britain's finest living nature writer' takes the plunge and buys an old farmhouse deep in the French countryside - a perfect slice of sunny escapist joy from the perennial Sunday Times bestseller.The Charente: roofs of red terracotta tiles, bleached-white walls, windows shuttered against the blaring sun. The baker does his rounds in his battered little white van with a hundred warm baguettes in the back, while a cat picks its way past a Romanesque church, the sound of bells skipping across miles of rolling, glorious countryside.For many years a farmer in England, John Lewis-Stempel yearned once again to live in a landscape where turtle doves purr and nightingales sing, as they did almost everywhere in his childhood. He wanted to be self-sufficient, to make his own wine and learn the secrets of truffle farming. And so, buying an old honey-coloured limestone house with bright blue shutters, the Lewis-Stempels began their new life as peasant farmers.Over that first year, Lewis-Stempel fell in love with the French countryside, from the wild boar that trot past the kitchen window to the glow-worms and citronella candles that flicker in the evening garden. Although it began as a practical enterprise, it quickly became an affair of the heart: of learning to bite the end off the morning baguette; taking two hours for lunch; in short, living the good life - or as the French say, La Vie.
