Download or read book Culture and Activism written by Elizabeth Cherry and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-28 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Award for Distinguished Scholarship from the Animals & Society Section of the American Sociological Association This book offers a comparison of the animal rights movements in the US and France, drawing on ethnographic and interview material gathered amongst activists in both countries. Investigating the ways in which culture affects the outcomes of the two movements, the author examines its role as a constraining and enabling structure in both contexts, showing how cultural beliefs, values, and practices at the international, national, and organizational levels shape the strategic and tactical choices available to activists, and shedding light on the reasons for which activists make the choices that they do. With attention to the different emphases placed by the respective movements on ideological purity and pragmatism, this volume provides an account of why their achievements differ in spite of their shared ultimate goals, offering policy recommendations and suggestions for activists working in a variety of cultures. Informed by the work of Giddens and Bourdieu, Culture and Activism: Animal Rights in France and the United States constitutes an empirically grounded, comparative study of activism that will appeal to scholars of sociology, anthropology, political science, and cultural geography with interests in social movements and social problems.

Veterinarian and amateur sleuth Jessica Popper races down the rabbit hole and into a vintage case of passion and betrayal in Long Island's elite wine country in… Hare Today, Dead Tomorrow It's harvest time, but this season's crop includes chardonnay, merlot…and murder.

Download or read book Bats of Prey written by Richard William Stoker and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2014-06-02 with total page 701 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Were living in a world that is vastly different from that which existed when the original Dracula novel was written. Women are now rightly playing much more active roles, including serving as heads of countries and heads of large corporations. We hear of the ecological importance of rainforests regularly in news broadcasts; weve also heard that some newspaper people cant be trusted. Author Richard William Stoker gave up on the mental health industry when, many years ago, he started a course in psychology and was taught that women arent as smart as men because their brains are generally smaller. At that time he had a girlfriend whose head was considerably smaller than his own but whose IQ was much higher. He was christened and confirmed in the Church of England and when young, regularly attended Sunday school. When older, he couldnt completely accept the Anglican Churchs teachings, nor could he completely accept the Darwinian theory. He wanted to bring all of the above elements together in a novel that was relevant to today and found the Dracula concept to be the perfect vehicle. In order to get the details of the locations reasonably accurate, he visited Los Angeles and Las Vegas and travelled by bus from Venezuela down through Brazil.
