When Pig gets the brilliant idea to throw a party for Mouse and their friends, he can’t help but think of everything that could possibly go wrong. After all, what if a lion eats all the invitations? What if nobody comes? Or worse, what if everyone comes and has an awful time?

Download or read book The Good Good Pig written by Sy Montgomery and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2006-05-30 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In loving yet unsentimental prose, Sy Montgomery captures the richness that animals bring to the human experience. Sometimes it takes a too-smart-for-his-own-good pig to open our eyes to what most matters in life.” —John Grogan, author of Marley & Me: Life and Love with the World’s Worst Dog A naturalist who spent months at a time living on her own among wild creatures in remote jungles, Sy Montgomery had always felt more comfortable with animals than with people. So she gladly opened her heart to a sick piglet who had been crowded away from nourishing meals by his stronger siblings. Yet Sy had no inkling that this piglet, later named Christopher Hogwood, would not only survive but flourish—and she soon found herself engaged with her small-town community in ways she had never dreamed possible. Unexpectedly, Christopher provided this peripatetic traveler with something she had sought all her life: an anchor (eventually weighing 750 pounds) to family and home. The Good Good Pig celebrates Christopher Hogwood in all his glory, from his inauspicious infancy to hog heaven in rural New Hampshire, where his boundless zest for life and his large, loving heart made him absolute monarch over a (mostly) peaceable kingdom. At first, his domain included only Sy’s cosseted hens and her beautiful border collie, Tess. Then the neighbors began fetching Christopher home from his unauthorized jaunts, the little girls next door started giving him warm, soapy baths, and the villagers brought him delicious leftovers. His intelligence and fame increased along with his girth. He was featured in USA Today and on several National Public Radio environmental programs. On election day, some voters even wrote in Christopher’s name on their ballots. But as this enchanting book describes, Christopher Hogwood’s influence extended far beyond celebrity; for he was, as a friend said, a great big Buddha master. Sy reveals what she and others learned from this generous soul who just so happened to be a pig—lessons about self-acceptance, the meaning of family, the value of community, and the pleasures of the sweet green Earth. The Good Good Pig provides proof that with love, almost anything is possible.
Download or read book Meat written by Simon Fairlie and published by Chelsea Green Publishing. This book was released on 2010-12-17 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Meat: A Benign Extravagance is a groundbreaking exploration of the difficult environmental, ethical and health issues surrounding the human consumption of animals. Garnering huge praise in the UK, this is a book that answers the question: should we be farming animals, or not? Not a simple answer, but one that takes all views on meat eating into account. It lays out in detail the reasons why we must indeed decrease the amount of meat we eat, both for the planet and for ourselves, and yet explores how different forms of agriculture--including livestock--shape our landscape and culture. At the heart of this book, Simon Fairlie argues that society needs to re-orient itself back to the land, both physically and spiritually, and explains why an agriculture that can most readily achieve this is one that includes a measure of livestock farming. It is a well-researched look at agricultural and environmental theory from a fabulous writer and a farmer, and is sure to take off where other books on vegetarianism and veganism have fallen short in their global scope.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TITLE: THE DARKNESS OF 10,000 STARS AUTHOR: JOHN J. ENSMINGER, PhD. “Meet Arthur Banks, a wise gentleman, nearly 80, retired Navy chaplain, who has been a friend to George Farmer and his sons all his life.” “However, after George passed away, Arthur experienced a long absence from the Farmer family, and he is stunned, when, suddenly, he receives a phone call from Nick Farmer, George’s youngest son, and his godson.” “Although Nick has called primarily to say hello to his old friend, he’s expressed to Arthur that he’s having a serious health problem, and that he, his wife and children now reside up on the coast highway in a small town called Sinnerville. Nick is coming down to ‘Frisco for some tests the following week and he may be able to stop and see Arthur.” “Although Arthur was gladly anticipating Nick’s visit, nothing ever came of it. Therefore, Arthur telephones Nick to plan a trip to Sinnerville to meet his family and visit Nick about his illness." “Arthur makes the 5 1⁄2 trip to Sinnerville and learns that everything appears to be fine with Nick and his family. Nick’s problem seems to stem from something terrible going on at the Post Office, where he works, but Arthur feels sure things will all settle down and work out. He promises his constant support and prayers, whatever happens.” “However, a few days later, while Arthur has been home, he receives another sudden call, this time from Nick’s wife, Darlene, whom he has just met. She wants Arthur to return ASAP, as Nick is reportedly acting suicidal.” “With tremendous concern, Arthur advises Darlene to remove all the weapons from the property, if she can do so safely.. and he promises to return as soon as he can work out his travel plans.” “When he does return to Sinnerville, Nick’s health had visibly declined; he is in a dark, confused mood. Nick attempts to explain what’s been going on at work, but it all seems quite unbelievable. However, Darlene agrees that it is exactly as her husband has said. Therefore, Arthur plans to look into the matter on their behalf, if they’ll allow it.” **** “This is a story of friendship, hope and courage, as Nick and Darlene’s fates unravel before our eyes. Arthur learns something about evil from the small town of Sinnerville and its people; but in spite of them, he carries on to act courageously, to try to help, and later, to try to locate and rescue, his lifelong friend, and his family. You may wish you had a friend like Arthur Banks, who is persistent to the end. You may wish you had his courage and his grit,in difficult times."

Download or read book The Ethics of Eating Animals written by Bob Fischer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-09-05 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intensive animal agriculture wrongs many, many animals. Philosophers have argued, on this basis, that most people in wealthy Western contexts are morally obligated to avoid animal products. This book explains why the author thinks that’s mistaken. He reaches this negative conclusion by contending that the major arguments for veganism fail: they don’t establish the right sort of connection between producing and eating animal-based foods. Moreover, if they didn’t have this problem, then they would have other ones: we wouldn’t be obliged to abstain from all animal products, but to eat strange things instead—e.g., roadkill, insects, and things left in dumpsters. On his view, although we have a collective obligation not to farm animals, there is no specific diet that most individuals ought to have. Nevertheless, he does think that some people are obligated to be vegans, but that’s because they’ve joined a movement, or formed a practical identity, that requires that sacrifice. This book argues that there are good reasons to make such a move, albeit not ones strong enough to show that everyone must do likewise.
