Con ROMA CANES MUNDI riprende il viaggio nel passato iniziato con ORIGINI ALLA SCOPERTA DELLE ANTICHE RAZZE CANINE e, mentre il primo volume si e occupato dei cani presenti fra il tardo Paleolitico ed il periodo in cui vissero gli antichi Greci, il secondo volume e interamente dedicato al periodo in cui ROMA nacque, crebbe, si espanse conquistando buona parte dellEuropa e dei territori che si affacciavano sul Mediterraneo ed alla fine cadde.Come erano i cani dei Romani?

Da quando gli antenati del cane 130.000 anni fa lasciarono la vita selvatica per convivere insieme alluomo, qualcosa e cambiato. Infatti, nonostante in natura fosse gia presente la convivenza fra specie diverse, cane e uomo hanno esaltato ai massimi livelli la cooperazione interspecifica, arrivando a veri e propri scambi culturali: il cane impara dalluomo e luomo impara dal cane. E questo lunico modo che lessere umano ha per poter carpire dal proprio compagno i segreti che lo rendono un animale particolare, una sinfonia a 4 zampe.Il libro racconta le origini, levoluzione, la psicologia e tutti i meccanismi che sono alla base di questo straordinario binomio unico nel suo genere ed unico in Natura; e rivolto a tutti i cinofili, dalluomo e dalla donna comune al professionista che intendono aggiornare le proprie conoscenze e magari vedere sotto un altro punto di vista cosa sia vivere il proprio cane.

A população global deve chegar a 10 bilhões de pessoas nos próximos 30 anos. De acordo com a Organização das Nações Unidas para Agricultura e Alimentação serão necessários 52 milhões de toneladas adi

Around the 19th century, the planet was home to the first billion people, thus initiating the population explosion in Europe. At the beginning of the 20th century, famine had set in in European cities and rural production at that time had to make a huge effort, but the expansion of agricultural areas brought strong pressure on areas of native vegetation. In 1930 the planet reached two billion people, in 1960 three billion and according to UN assumptions in 2050 we should reach 10 billion. Humanity must be able to feed, at minimum standards and sustainably, the growing population, which according to the UN will reach 10 billion people in a few decades; and meet the sophistication of food demand because of rising average household incomes in most countries. Thus, there will be a pressure of demand influencing the destinations of agriculture. In the food demand scenario where per capita income growth will be exponential, leading to a decrease in the population s nutritional deficiencies and changes in consumption habits, increasing the demand for animal proteins. And to feed the population estimated by the UN in 2050 there will be a strong technological intensification in the field. Thus, understanding the processes related to beef or milk livestock production, on pasture or in confinement, becomes very important. In addition to knowing the production chain, it is necessary to know the technologies present in each process and how they can help to increase the profitability of the farm, with better management of resources. Also, the arrival of new technologies requires highly skilled labor and even properties that do not adapt or adopt current and/or new technologies, unfortunately, little by little they left the market. Adhering to current technologies, from integrated systems such as Integrated Crop-Livestock-Forest, genetic improvement, animal welfare, combating diseases and upcoming technologies will be vital for the permanence of the property s activities on the market.

Con ROMA CANES MUNDI se reanuda el viaje al pasado iniciado con ‘ORÍGENES – EN BUSCA DE ANTIGUAS RAZAS CANINAS’ y, mientras el primer volumen se ocupó de los perros presentes entre el Pleistoceno tar

With ROMA CANES MUNDI, the journey into the past begun with ORIGINS IN SEARCH OF ANCIENT DOG BREEDS resumes, and while the first volume dealt with the dogs present between the late Paleolithic and the period when the ancient Greeks lived, the second volume is entirely dedicated to the period when ROME was born, grew, expanded, conquered much of Europe and the territories bordering the Mediterranean, and finally fell.What were the dogs of the Romans like? What kind of relationship was there between them and their four-legged companions?All this will be examined through literary, historical, and artistic sources with the help of zooarchaeological findings and genetic analysis.

Ogni giorno i nostri gatti, al meglio delle loro possibilita e ben consapevoli dei nostri limiti, tentano in ogni modo di mettersi in comunicazione con noi. Noi pero, nonostante le migliori intenzioni, non sempre riusciamo a capire cosa vogliano dirci e, come se non bastasse, puntualmente fraintendiamo gran parte degli sforzi che fanno nei nostri confronti.In questo libro Cristiana Rolla, attraverso la contestazione dei principali luoghi comuni sul gatto, ci mostrera con sagacia e ironia in che modo questultimo abbia operato tutta una serie di aggiustamenti al proprio repertorio comportamentale, e non solo, pur di favorire la propria convivenza con la nostra specie.Alla fine della lettura sara chiaro quanto dietro a una facciata sovraccarica di pregiudizi risieda invece una creatura estremamente complessa e delicata, bisognosa di instaurare rapporti e consolidare relazioni, tuttaltro che ingrata, e soprattutto in grado, se compresa, di darci molto piu di quanto pensiamo e probabilmente anche piu di quanto, nella nostra inconsapevole presunzione, riceva da parte nostra.
