• catalog abstract "The famous animal tale of the six blind men and the elephant, in which each of the blind men describes the elephant differently, depending on the part of the creature touched, has been interpreted in ways nearly as varied as the blind menʼs descriptions. In each of these various interpretations, the story demonstrates the use of animal metaphors to express important issues. The focus of the encyclopedia is on animals and their symbolism in diverse world cultures and in different eras of human history. Most entries on particular animals begin with brief zoological information, which includes the animalʼs scientific name and classification as well as its range, habitat, and behavior. Main, general entries on cultural, chronological and geographical areas include cross-references to specific cultures discussed in greater detail. Other broader entries address the significance of animals in their own environments (e.g., architecture of animals, tools used by animals), and still others deal with animals in the human sphere (e.g., pet animals, zoo). The ways that people think about animals and what people do to and with animals as a result are discussed in more theoretical entries, such as anomalous animal and complimentary duality. Some entries deal with the ways in which animals are depicted (composition, X-ray images). The work concludes with a Bibliography, and Index of Names, and an Appendix of Animal Taxonomy. Includes information on antelope, bat, bear, bee, boar, buffalo, bull, butterfly, camel, caribou, cat, catfish, cave, cicada, cobra, cock, conch, coral, cormorant, corvidae, cow, cowry, coyote, crab, crane, creation myth, crocodile, crow, cuckoo, dance, deer, divination, dog, dolphin, dove, dragonfly, dream, duck, eagle, ear, egg, eland, elephant, evangelist (Luke, Matthew, Mark, John) symbol, falcon, firefly, fish, fly, fox, frigate bird, frog, Paul Gauguin, goat, goose, grizzly bear, hare, harpy eagle, hawk, healing animals, heron, hippopotamus, hoopoe, hornbill, horse, hummingbird, hyena, ibis, insect, jackal, jaguar, jay, kangaroo, killer whale, Paul Klee, Knossos, lamb, Charles Le Brun, leopard, lion, lioness, llama, lobster, lynx, magpie, male animal, mare, Maya, medieval Europe, mongoose, monkey, mouse, Nazca, octopus, ostrich, otter, owl, oyster, pangolin, panther, parrot, peacock, pearl, pelican, pig, polar bear, python, quail, rabbit, rainbow snake, ram, rat, raven, ray (stingray), rhinoceros, robin, Henri Rousseau, Charles Russell, St. Francis of Assisi, salamander, salmon, sand dollar, scallop, scorpion, sea lion, seagull, seal, shaman/ shamanism, shape shifting, shark, sheep, snail, snake, sow, sparrow, spider, stag, stork, swallow, swan, tapir, tiger, toad, turkey, turtle, vulture, wasp, water buffalo, weasel, wolf, woodpecker (woodcock), worm, wren, yak, zebra, zodiac, etc.".
