Book excerpt: "An important and groundbreaking contribution to the struggle for the welfare of animals." --Yuval Harari, New York Times best-selling author of Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind The book offers an absorbing look at why and how humans can so wholeheartedly devote ourselves to certain animals and then allow others to suffer needlessly, especially those slaughtered for our consumption. Social psychologist Melanie Joy explores the many ways we numb ourselves and disconnect from our natural empathy for farmed animals. She coins the term "carnism" to describe the belief system that has conditioned us to eat certain animals and not others. In Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows, Joy investigates factory farming, exposing how cruelly the animals are treated, the hazards that meatpacking workers face, and the environmental impact of raising 10 billion animals for food each year. Controversial and challenging, this book will change the way you think about food forever. "An absorbing examination of why humans feel affection and compassion for certain animals but are callous to the suffering of others." --Publishers Weekly "I think Gandhi would have loved Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows. For this is a book that can change the way you think and change the way you live. It will lead you from denial to awareness, from passivity to action, and from resignation to hope." --John Robbins, author of Diet for a New America and The Food Revolution

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Em 2008, cursando o último ano de jornalismo na Universidade Federal do Mato Grosso do Sul, me preparava para o temível Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso. Só sabia que abordaria algum assunto ligado ao Pantanal do MS. O destino tratou de me apresentar ao livro-reportagem O Gosto da Guerra , de José Hamilton Ribeiro. Na obra o repórter descreve todos os detalhes do episódio em que, tragicamente, perdeu uma perna após pisar em uma mina terrestre cobrindo a Guerra do Vietnã. Estava decidido qual seria o modelo e o tema. Só faltava todo o resto. Após pesquisa bibliográfica descobri que quase nada havia sido publicado sobre a vida dos peões de boiadeiro. Aproveitei que meus avós trabalhavam como capataz e cozinheira na fazenda Corixão (conhecida fazenda do Pantanal da Nhecolândia), para conseguir vaga em uma comitiva. Em meio a toda aquela poeira branca do Pantanal, comecei minha jornada. Não sei se era repórter que sabia cavalgar, ou se era peão que sabia escrever.

Download or read book Critical Animal and Media Studies written by Núria Almiron and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-10-14 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to put the speciesism debate and the treatment of non-human animals on the agenda of critical media studies and to put media studies on the agenda of animal ethics researchers. Contributors examine the convergence of media and animal ethics from theoretical, philosophical, discursive, social constructionist, and political economic perspectives. The book is divided into three sections: foundations, representation, and responsibility, outlining the different disciplinary approaches’ application to media studies and covering how non-human animals, and the relationship between humans and non-humans, are represented by the mass media, concluding with suggestions for how the media, as a major producer of cultural norms and values related to non-human animals and how we treat them, might improve such representations.
Download or read book The King and the Sea written by Heinz Janisch and published by . This book was released on 2015-03-06 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These stunningly illustrated, ultra-short stories are seemingly simple but ultimately profound tales. "Buzz off," said the king, shooing the bee from his flower. "Don't you know I'm the king?" "And I'm the queen," said the bee, stinging the king's nose. In each story, the king has an encounter which he tries to rule over. But of course the rain doesn't stop just because a king orders it, and tired eyelids can be much stronger than a king's will. The king sees that his power has limits; the world is diverse and much of it operates under its own rules. "An extraordinarily beautiful children's book that leaves plenty of room for your own thoughts a It deals with big questions in a small way."-Litrix.de (German Literature Online)

Download or read book Zoos and Tourism written by Warwick Frost and published by Channel View Publications. This book was released on 2011 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zoos are important and popular tourist attractions. Spread around the world, they are typically located in major cities, with visitation levels comparable to other major attractions. Nature-based attractions constructed in artificial settings, they face the challenge of trying to balance potentially conflicting aims of conservation, education and entertainment. The best are continually developing fresh and effective techniques on visitor interpretation and management, the worst highlight the manipulation of animals for human gratification. Taking a global approach, this book examines the problems and paradoxes of zoos as they try to balance their roles as visitor attractions while repositioning themselves as leading conservation agencies. "This book provides a detailed and critical examination of the conflicting roles and identities of the modern zoo from a tourism perspective and as such reminds us that zoos are as much about the people who visit them as about the animals that they display. At a time when they are under continual critical scrutiny, this book delivers a fresh approach to our understanding and appreciation of zoos and of the challenges and opportunities that they face as they strive to remain relevant within modern society." Andrew Tribe, University of Queensland, Australia
