This article represents the first part of a ten-hour address Derrida gave at the thirdCerisy-la-Salle conference devoted to his work, in July 1997. The title of the conference was ''LAnimal autobiographique"; see J:Animal autobiographique: Autour deJacques Derrida, ed. Marie-Louise Mallet (Paris, 1999); Derrida's essay appears on pp. 251-301. Later segments of the address dealt with Descartes, Kant, Heidegger, Lacan, and Lévinas, as note 4 explains and as other allusions made by Derrida suggest. The Lacan segment will appear in Zoo Ontologies: The Question of the Animal in Contemporary Theory and Culture, ed. Cary Wolfe (Min neapolis, 2002).
In this appealing and attractive volume, Jan Brueghel's elaborate 1613 painting The Entry of the Animals into Noah's Ark is cleverly transformed into a look-and-find book for children. Twenty-five detailed illustrations prompt eaders to identify different kinds of animals while accompanying text shows the word for each animal in English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, and Japanese. Each word is also spelled out phonetically, so parents can help young readers learn to pronounce the foreign names correctly. A color foldout of the painting in its entirety makes it fun for young readers to locate each animal from Noah's Ark.
Watch young animals learn to play, and play to learn!
Children learn about life by playing, and so do lots of adorable animals. Following on from the hugely successful titles Animal Families, and Big Babies, Little Babies, Animal Playtime takes a playful peek at baby lions chewing on daddy's tail, polar bear cubs using their mom's furry body as a climbing frame, and a young monkey trying to escape a parent's clutches to go off with his friends.
Set of 9 colourful cards. One side of each card contains the picture of an animal and its name in English, the other side - the sound the animal makes.
