DPH Animal Secondary Products investigates domestic animal exploitation and the animal economy from the Palaeolithic to the Bronze and Iron Ages across Eurasia (Europe, Near East, Siberia and China). Incorporating current zooarchaeological theory and cutting-edge methodological developments, it critically assesses Andrew Sherratts concept of a Secondary Products Revolution that proposed that a package of new subsistence practices and technologies swept across much of Eurasia at the end of the Neolithic, which triggered large-scale changes in economies and settlement across the landscape. This model argues that these changes were associated with a genuine shift from an emphasis upon domestic animals for their primary (meat hide, bone) products to a more diversified exploitation pattern which included their secondary (milk, wool, traction) products. Sherratts model attempted to conceptualise the changes between the Neolithic and Bronze Age that dramatically transformed the nature of animal exploitation strategies, cultivation practices, land management strategies, nature of settlement, and political and economic organization in Europe and the Near East that set the stage for the evolution of historic land use and animal exploitation patterns. Though setting the parameters for debate within the discipline for over 30 years, science has moved on and many kinds of new data, methods and techniques have been proposed since then that allow greater insights into these issues.

DPH This book synthesizes research from behaviour genetics, animal science and veterinary literature in order to bridge the gap between the fields of genetics and behavioural research. The author's objective is to show that principles discovered by behavioural geneticists have practical applications in agricultural and companion animals. The continuing domestication of animals is a genetically complex process whose myriad impacts on animal behaviour are underappreciated. Genetic factors play a substantial role in both species-specific behaviours and differences in behaviour between different individuals in the same species. Leading authorities explore the impact that increased intensities of genetic selection have had on domestic animal behaviour. Rodents, cattle, pigs, sheep, horses, herding, guard dogs, and poultry are all included in these discussions of genetic influences. * Includes four new chapters on dog and fox behavior, pig behavior, the effects of domestication and horse behavior * Synthesizes research from behavioural genetics, animal science, and veterinary literature * Broaches fields of behaviour genetics and behavioural research * Includes practical applications of principles discovered by behavioural genetics researchers * Covers many species ranging from pigs, dogs, foxes, rodents, cattle, horses, and cats Anatomy and Physiology of Domestic Animals v pevné vazbě, 248 stran vyd.
