When Species Meet. Haraway, Donna. 2008.

It is a really interesting pic depicting the ongoing battle between LAPTOPS and LAPDOGS. I failed to find it on google probably because of the copy right. You can see the whole book here http://projectlamar.com/media/harrawayspecies.pdf, and the pic is on page 9)

Natureculture
http://www.australianhumanitiesreview.org/archive/Issue-May-2009/potter&hawkins.htm
Natureculture deals with the idea that culture is a decidedly human invention, separate from nature as humans are from non-human life. It asserts that nature and culture are inextricably linked and humanity and non-human life are inseparable.
