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?

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.

Questo libro non vuole incentivare la compravendita di cuccioli appartenenti al Cane Lupo Cecoslovacco, ma al contrario vuole aprire la mente a una maggiore consapevolezza delle proprie scelte per il bene supremo degli animali. È riscontrato che quando si pone lattenzione su determinate caratteristiche, la mente si espande e vede tante nuove possibilita che prima erano sconosciute. Attraverso anche i vari racconti di vita vissuta in prima persona da parte di alcuni proprietari che si sono resi disponibili a lasciare un loro contributo, potrai entusiasmarti o scoraggiarti per limpegno che richiede vivere con un cane di questo tipo, ma anche appartenente a razze diverse. Questo si auspica possa servire a evitare gli innumerevoli abbandoni e soprusi a cui spesso la specie canina e soggetta, a causa di chi trascura il fatto che convivere con un cucciolo, e conseguentemente con un cane diventato adulto, necessita di: rispetto, amore, comprensione, pazienza, spazio, cure, educazione, gestione e alimentazione.
