Answer:
The Tiger Rising is the tale of 12-year-old Rob Horton who finds a caged tiger in the woods behind the Kentucky Star Motel where he lives with his dad. The tiger is so incongruous in this setting that Rob views the apparition as some sort of magic trick. Indeed, the tiger triggers all sorts of magic in Rob's life — for one thing, it takes his mind off his recently deceased mother and the itchy red blisters on his legs that the wise motel housekeeper, Willie May, says is a manifestation of the sadness that Rob keeps "down low." Something else for Rob to think about is Sistine (as in the chapel), a new city girl with fierce black eyes who challenges him to be honest with her and himself. Spurred by the tiger, events collide to break Rob out of his silent introspection, to form a new friendship with Sistine, to develop a new understanding of his father, and most important, to lighten his heart. This novel is about cages — the consequences of escape as well as imprisonment. The story and symbolism are clear as a bell, and the emotions ring true.

Explanation:
There are different clauses in this extract, linked to each other in different ways:
"Watterson has explained that Calvin was named after the sixteenth-century theologian John Calvin;"
In this case, "that Calvin was named after the sixteenth-century theologian John Calvin" is a subordinate clause which is indeed subordinated to the main independent clause: "Watterson has explained", by the use of "that". Thus, we have an example of subordination.
Then, we have the semicolon ";" in between the first complex sentence and the second one, which is "[previous sentence] ; likewise, Hobbes was named for another influential thinker, the seventeenth-century philosopher Thomas Hobbes." Here we have an example of coordination introduced by that semicolon.
IMPORTANT: "the seventeenth-century philosopher Thomas Hobbes." Is only a nominal phrase, since it doesn't contain any verb.
