An A-Z of Animal Symbolism: Your complete guide to over 150 animal symbols
by Aurore PramilLearn to interpret the messages the animal world has for you!A bird knocks insistently on your window, your cat brings you a lizard, you find yourself face to face with a spider or you dream of an elephant ... what if each animal had a message for you? Animals have always been a source of fascination for humans - we love to watch them, learn about them and keep them as pets. But what if animals could actually communicate with us? In this complete guide, you'll find everything you need to know about the symbolism and signs of more than 150 animals, whether they appear to you in a dream or 'happen' to cross your path. You'll learn their individual characteristics as well as the elements and seasons they're associated with. You'll also discover what these encounters mean for different aspects of your life including love, career, family and health. Messages from the animal world are always filled with compassion but animals aren't there to flatter your ego. Rather, they aim to help you advance in consciousness in your life's journey. Sometimes you'll receive an encouraging sign that confirms you're on the right path or guidance to help you move forward. Other times, an animal will deliver a deeper lesson for you to explore, because that's how we learn. More than anything, their messages can open avenues of questioning and help to make your way forward clearer. The animals wish you well; they want you to hear their messages. Let them become your guides!
An A-Z of Animals in the Garden
by Twigs WayA quirky look at some of the most unusual garden animals ever kept in Britain, from crocodiles to wombats Perhaps one of the less known facts about the Pre-Raphaelite artist Dante Gabriel Rossetti is that he kept wombats in his garden at Cheyne Walk, London, to whom he and Christina addressed poetry (he also kept zebu - a type of cattle). This is just one of the stories in this entertaining book, which brings together two great British pastimes: animal husbandry and the garden. Taking the reader on a journey from the armadillos owned by merchants in the City of London in the eighteenth century and nourished on garden earthworms, to Queen Charlotte's zebra, which was accommodated close to her house at Buckingham Gate and renowned for its nicotine-fueled filthy temper, here are quirky tales of animals in the garden through the centuries.

Abatement Techniques for Reducing Emissions from Livestock Buildings (SpringerBriefs in Environmental Science)
by Mohamed SamerThis book identifies future scientific research priorities for developing emissions inventories, emissions abatement techniques and mitigation strategies in order to improve and sustain livestock production that is in line with climate change adaptation. Livestock production is a major source of atmospheric pollutants and greenhouse gases, such as methane, nitrogen oxides, carbon dioxide and ammonia, all of which directly contribute to global warming and climate change. Air pollutant emissions from agricultural practices have a negative environmental impact and are of relevant political importance, as highlighted in both the Kyoto and Gothenburg Protocols. This book provides solutions on how to abate these emissions by using effective abatement techniques such as additives, manure storage covers, aerobic and anaerobic treatments, and dietary manipulation. Each chapter in the book provides valuable, up-to-date information on abatement techniques, thus allowing the reader to better understand the issues involved. Recent advances and new perspectives in the field are also discussed.

The Abc and Xyz of Bee Culture
by Kim Flottum Roger A. MorseIt has not been thought necessary to reproduce the prefaces of each succeeding edltion of this work. All told, there have been thirty-nine editions. It therefore transpires that the book, ABC of Bee Culture for beginners, written by A. I. Root, has become the ABC & XYZ of Bee Culture. Although A. I. Root's health allowed him to spend only about fifteen active years in beekeeping and bee supply manufacturing, he nevertheless had a profound effect on the beekeeping industry. He was among the first to point out that the Langstroth hive and frame were superior to all those preceding. He did much to standardize beekeeping equipment, especially the hive, making supers interchangeable with brood chambers. Prior to his efforts there were practically as many different shapes and sizes of hives and frames as there were beekeepers.
