In Animal Life in Nature, Myth and Dreams, Elizabeth Caspari
connects the world of real, living animals with the symbolic world
of animal images in human thought, both conscious and unconscious.
She gives the reader an opportunity to make this connection on his
or her own personal journey of discovery. This book is a study of
animals-their natural history, mythology, folklore, and religious
significance around the world as well as their role in our lives,
dreams, and everyday language. It examines the symbolic impact
animals have on our collective culture, particularly on our own
personal and interior lives. From Albatross to Zebra, each animal
is pictured in color and factual context is given about its
behavior in the natural world. Information is included about
habitat, distribution, weight, size, longevity, and classification.
By drawing on a process of amplification developed by C.G. Jung, in
which an image is related to a previous historical, mythological,
religious, or ethnological context, Animal Life in Nature, Myth and
Dreams discusses the meaning of the animal in a dream, amplifying
the reader's understanding of that animal. Intended for anyone
interested in the actual behavior and nature of animals and the
world we live in, Animal Life presents a good deal of ethological
and mythological material. By contemplating the significance of our
fellow creatures, and how everything in our universe is connected,
Animal Life offers a more whole, and more healing, view of the
world. Fully illustrated in color.
