Book Description
A Haitian American woman survives a brutal kidnapping in this “commanding debut novel” from the New York Times–bestselling author of Bad Feminist (The New Yorker). Author and essayist Roxane Gay is celebrated for her incisive commentary on identity and culture, as well as for her bestselling nonfiction and short story collections. Now, with An Untamed State, she delivers a “breathtaking debut novel” (The Guardian, UK) of wealth in the face of crushing poverty, and the lawless anger produced by corrupt governments. Mireille Duval Jameson is living a fairy tale. The strong-willed youngest daughter of one of Haiti’s richest sons, she lives in the United States with her adoring husband and infant son, returning every summer to stay on her father’s Port-au-Prince estate. But the fairy tale ends when Mireille is kidnapped in broad daylight by a gang of heavily armed men, just outside the estate walls. Held captive by a man who calls himself The Commander, Mireille waits for her father to pay her ransom. As her father’s standoff with the kidnappers stretches out into days, Mireille must endure the torments of a man who despises everything she represents. An Untamed State is a “breathless, artful, disturbing and original” story of a willful woman attempting to find her way back to the person she once was, and of how redemption is found in the most unexpected of places (Meg Wolitzer, author of The Interestings).

Book Description
When published in 1980, Benjamin B. Beck’s Animal Tool Behavior was the first volume to catalog and analyze the complete literature on tool use and manufacture in non-human animals. Beck showed that animals—from insects to primates—employed different types of tools to solve numerous problems. His work inspired and energized legions of researchers to study the use of tools by a wide variety of species. In this revised and updated edition of the landmark publication, Robert W. Shumaker and Kristina R. Walkup join Beck to reveal the current state of knowledge regarding animal tool behavior. Through a comprehensive synthesis of the studies produced through 2010, the authors provide an updated and exact definition of tool use, identify new modes of use that have emerged in the literature, examine all forms of tool manufacture, and address common myths about non-human tool use. Specific examples involving invertebrates, birds, fish, and mammals describe the differing levels of sophistication of tool use exhibited by animals.

Book Description
I create the werewolf. It is a transformation; full blown and full out. It can be...very loveable & funny. You find yourself on his side, mostly. The male goes thru his evolution [its all very Jungian] wherein, also, he needs companionship, etc. This lead to his making friends. Tis a witch who kicks in the turn of events - to an evolution. He finds himself in the forest, where he evolves alone, but to the soothing lullaby of howls. He is allowed sightings of them - wolves; he is mesmerized to delight. One day he hears a fight that won't quit; the aftermath finds for his lonesome, the two wolves (who found themselves in trouble) to become his 'best friends for life'. No kidding. [This is not set in cartoon motif.] One day, a killer bear pops on the scene. The male takes the lead - only - to the dismay of his fate, the old witch spots him on that particular day in the rolling years of his evolution/exile. She is astounded at the outcome of (himself, the bear...yahta yahta) and must tell someone of her 'finding' and the success of such an evolution [she believes is all her doing, in her blackened heart}. She tells a professor of old money and suspicious reputation. Both are interested in the new valuable brutish property of seeming worthless intellect. This leads to the male getting captured. His capture is where his biggest evolution turns. The professor is an experimenting madman and chooses to theorize-to-execute with this capture. Strangely, then, he is given a name [from the book, not the professor] that will stay his legend for good. Nonetheless, the male continues the years out there until his destiny finds him. The ending - of his fate, only - brings out the moral and his evolution, in that: 'twas beauty in the end'. But that is not the true ending, the poem is. It is the history - of this male - who will be known in a single portrait (each) for the series, 'The Five Phoenix's'. Did I mention? Reincarnation, my dears. I'm alll about it!!
