Book Description
We are all familiar with human responses to change, but what about the animal’s perspective? Globetrotting Tigger, the ginger tomcat with attitude, is born into the sunshine and easy lifestyle of Western Australia, but is forced to follow his family of restless humans to the USA for an adventurous two years in the forests and fields of Maryland. He returns to Australia and life on a small farm in the bush with all its associated excitements and perils before he is whisked off yet again to a damp, green country called England. What matters to Tigger when he leaves home? And how does he cope with the unfamiliar? Tigger’s story is told through the sharply observant eyes of a cat in charge of his band of endearingly naive humans, whose ideas he often finds puzzling, but accepts with good grace. In the background of the story, Tigger’s humans face their own struggles as they learn to adjust to their new surroundings, but they really aren't that important. Tigger's experience is what really counts. Tigger: Memoirs of a Cosmopolitan Cat is a tale for all who like animals and respect them for who they are, embracing their individualities, but also for those who recognise the benefits of a happy, harmonious family life for the wellbeing of all creatures.

The Web as History
Author: Niels Brügger
Publisher: UCL Press
ISBN: 1911307568
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 298
Book Description
The World Wide Web has now been in use for more than 20 years. From early browsers to today’s principal source of information, entertainment and much else, the Web is an integral part of our daily lives, to the extent that some people believe ‘if it’s not online, it doesn’t exist.’ While this statement is not entirely true, it is becoming increasingly accurate, and reflects the Web’s role as an indispensable treasure trove. It is curious, therefore, that historians and social scientists have thus far made little use of the Web to investigate historical patterns of culture and society, despite making good use of letters, novels, newspapers, radio and television programmes, and other pre-digital artefacts.This volume argues that now is the time to ask what we have learnt from the Web so far. The 12 chapters explore this topic from a number of interdisciplinary angles – through histories of national web spaces and case studies of different government and media domains – as well as an introduction that provides an overview of this exciting new area of research.
