‘Italians are not really domestic animals’ is the repeated verdict of Antonio’s English landlady. A brilliant philosopher in his thirties, he has come to a redbrick university for a year of research, leaving a wife and two children behind in Florence. Antonio is one of those individuals to whose charm everyone capitulates; but because of difficulties in his early years – poverty and the death of his father forced him to earn money as a professional footballer to see himself through school and university – he has an insatiable greed for reassurance, admiration and affection. All these Dick Thompson, a successful middle-aged novelist in whose house Antonio eventually goes to live, is willing to supply in abundance: inexplicably and ruinously Dick has fallen in love, for the first time for many years, with his handsome lodger. Meanwhile Antonio has also taken up with Pam, a secretary who soon becomes his mistress. The story of this curious triangle – a novelist and mistress begin to feel the pull of a mutual attraction in spite of their distrust and jealousy of each other – is told by Dick, looking back on his infatuation as on an illness that may be temporarily relieved by this or that remedy but can never be wholly cured. Yet for all his own frustration and despair – rarely has the anguish of unreciprocated love been more movingly described – Dick can still feel understanding and compassion both for the girl who, like himself, has fallen prey to the ‘domestic animal’ and for the ‘domestic animal’ himself, always eventually brought back to heel – however far he may stray – by the wife who loves him so much and knows his secret nature so little. Finely-honed, psychologically acute and constructed with rare skill this is a book which has something universal to say about love, jealousy and the essential loneliness of all human beings.

Excerpt from Our Domestic Animals: Their Habits, Intelligence and Usefulness Our many domestic animals have played an important role in the civilization of man. Without them - especially the dog, the horse, the cow, and the sheep - man's development onward and upward would have been slow and uncertain. Those countries in which the problem of domestication did not enter remained ever near to barbarism, never progressing beyond a certain limit. The American red man, brave, cunning, persevering, could not overstep the boundaries that limited his civilization, because he had no animal that he might domesticate, and no beast of burden to aid him in doing certain kinds of fatiguing work. This book is concerned with these helpers of civilization. It is to teach something about their value to man, so that they may receive more appreciative attention and more kindly consideration from the resident of the city and of the country, that this book appears. For many photographs that are reproduced on the following pages grateful appreciation is expressed to Mr. John F. Cunningham, Cleveland, Ohio; to Mr. Joseph E. Wing, Mechanicsburg, Ohio; and to the Ohio Farmer, Cleveland, Ohio. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Behavior is shaped by both genetics and experience--nature and nurture. This book synthesizes research from behavioral genetics and animal and veterinary science, bridging the gap between these fields. The objective is to show that principles of behavioral genetics have practical applications to agricultural and companion animals. The continuing domestication of animals is a complex process whose myriad impacts on animal behavior are commonly under-appreciated. Genetic factors play a significant role in both species-specific behaviors and behavioral differences exhibited by individuals in the same species. Leading authorities explore the impact of increased intensities of selection on domestic animal behavior. Rodents, cattle, pigs, sheep, horses, herding and guard dogs, and poultry are all included in these discussions of genetics and behavior, making this book useful to veterinarians, livestock producers, laboratory animal researchers and technicians, animal trainers and breeders, and any researcher interested in animal behavior. Includes four new chapters on dog and fox behavior, pig behavior, the effects of domestication and horse behavior Synthesizes research from behavioral genetics, animal science, and veterinary literature Broaches fields of behavior genetics and behavioral research Includes practical applications of principles discovered by behavioral genetics researchers Covers many species ranging from pigs, dogs, foxes, rodents, cattle, horses, and cats
