Book Synopsis Mind If I Order the Cheeseburger by : Sherry F. Colb
Download or read book Mind If I Order the Cheeseburger written by Sherry F. Colb and published by Lantern Books. This book was released on 2013-06-18 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What about plants? Don't animals eat other animals? There are no perfect vegans, so why bother? If you're vegan, how many times have you been asked these, and other similarly challenging, questions from non-vegans? Using humor and reason, Sherry F. Colb takes these questions at face value and also delves deeply into the motivations behind them, coming up with answers that are not only intelligent but insightful about human nature. Through examples, case studies, and clear-eyed logic, she provides arguments for everything from why veganism is compatible with the world's major religions to why vegetarianism is not enough. In the end, she shows how it is possible for vegans and non-vegans to engage in a mutually beneficial conversation without descending into counterproductive name-calling, and to work together to create a more hospitable world for human animals and non-human animals alike. "A rare fusion of passion and logic, idealism and pragmatism, style and substance, and--in its measured confrontation of the most challenging questions vegans face--a revolutionary guide for advocates seeking to engage the ethics of eating animals through authentic dialogue rather than bombastic rhetoric. Colb's literary touch is something to behold. She writes in a way that will appeal to non-vegans and vegans alike, building bridges across an all too turbulent divide. This is food writing at its best and food writing as it should be: honest, inclusive, inspirational, and, more than you might imagine, timely."--James McWilliams, Professor of History, Texas State University, San Marcos, and author of Just Food and The Politics of the Pasture "With compassion, humor, and eloquence, Sherry Colb provides a clear and engaging account of what motivates vegans to eat and live the way we do. A must-read for anyone who has ever wondered (or been asked) 'Why do vegans think it is okay to kill plants but not animals?' or 'Why avoid dairy and eggs?'"--Rory Freedman, New York Times bestselling co-author of Skinny Bitch and author of Beg "Sherry Colb provides thoughtful, articulate, intelligent answers to the commonly asked questions faced by every vegan. Intertwining information, reason, and her own personal experience, Colb offers an invaluable aid both for those answering the questions and for those posing them. The perfect companion "--Colleen Patrick-Goudreau, bestselling author and creator of The 30-Day Vegan Challenge "A powerful, compelling, and thoroughly engaging defense of veganism from an absolutely terrific legal scholar."--Gary L. Francione, Board of Governors Professor of Law and Katzenbach Distinguished Scholar of Law and Philosophy, Rutgers University, author of Introduction to Animal Rights: Your Child or the Dog? "With crystal clear logic and an empathic voice, Sherry Colb has written a must-read source for anyone curious, skeptical, or downright antagonistic towards vegan living. This book is destined to be a classic of the emerging vegan oevre."--Jonathan Balcombe, Ph.D., author of The Exultant Ark "Full of thoughtful analyses of some of the most common, perplexing, and often challenging reactions to vegans and veganism. Any vegan or vegetarian who has wished they'd had a more informed response to a question or challenge about their ideology--and anyone who wants to better understand some of the fundamental concepts of veganism--will benefit from reading Sherry Colb's in-depth exploration of the issues."--Melanie Joy, Ph.D., author of Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows
Download or read book The Bird Way written by Jennifer Ackerman and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-05-05 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the New York Times bestselling author of The Genius of Birds, a radical investigation into the bird way of being, and the recent scientific research that is dramatically shifting our understanding of birds -- how they live and how they think. “There is the mammal way and there is the bird way.” But the bird way is much more than a unique pattern of brain wiring, and lately, scientists have taken a new look at bird behaviors they have, for years, dismissed as anomalies or mysteries –– What they are finding is upending the traditional view of how birds conduct their lives, how they communicate, forage, court, breed, survive. They are also revealing the remarkable intelligence underlying these activities, abilities we once considered uniquely our own: deception, manipulation, cheating, kidnapping, infanticide, but also ingenious communication between species, cooperation, collaboration, altruism, culture, and play. Some of these extraordinary behaviors are biological conundrums that seem to push the edges of, well, birdness: a mother bird that kills her own infant sons, and another that selflessly tends to the young of other birds as if they were her own; a bird that collaborates in an extraordinary way with one species—ours—but parasitizes another in gruesome fashion; birds that give gifts and birds that steal; birds that dance or drum, that paint their creations or paint themselves; birds that build walls of sound to keep out intruders and birds that summon playmates with a special call—and may hold the secret to our own penchant for playfulness and the evolution of laughter. Drawing on personal observations, the latest science, and her bird-related travel around the world, from the tropical rainforests of eastern Australia and the remote woodlands of northern Japan, to the rolling hills of lower Austria and the islands of Alaska’s Kachemak Bay, Jennifer Ackerman shows there is clearly no single bird way of being. In every respect, in plumage, form, song, flight, lifestyle, niche, and behavior, birds vary. It is what we love about them. As E.O Wilson once said, when you have seen one bird, you have not seen them all.
Book Synopsis The Boys in the Bunkhouse by : Dan Barry
Download or read book The Boys in the Bunkhouse written by Dan Barry and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2016-05-17 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With this Dickensian tale from America’s heartland, New York Times writer and columnist Dan Barry tells the harrowing yet uplifting story of the exploitation and abuse of a resilient group of men with intellectual disability, and the heroic efforts of those who helped them to find justice and reclaim their lives. In the tiny Iowa farm town of Atalissa, dozens of men, all with intellectual disability and all from Texas, lived in an old schoolhouse. Before dawn each morning, they were bussed to a nearby processing plant, where they eviscerated turkeys in return for food, lodging, and $65 a month. They lived in near servitude for more than thirty years, enduring increasing neglect, exploitation, and physical and emotional abuse—until state social workers, local journalists, and one tenacious labor lawyer helped these men achieve freedom. Drawing on exhaustive interviews, Dan Barry dives deeply into the lives of the men, recording their memories of suffering, loneliness and fleeting joy, as well as the undying hope they maintained despite their traumatic circumstances. Barry explores how a small Iowa town remained oblivious to the plight of these men, analyzes the many causes for such profound and chronic negligence, and lays out the impact of the men’s dramatic court case, which has spurred advocates—including President Obama—to push for just pay and improved working conditions for people living with disabilities. A luminous work of social justice, told with compassion and compelling detail, The Boys in the Bunkhouse is more than just inspired storytelling. It is a clarion call for a vigilance that ensures inclusion and dignity for all.

Book excerpt: Teach the hot, brainy doctor how to flirt and please a man? Easy. Walk away unchanged at the end of it? That’s another story… I’ve lived my whole life in my older brother’s shadow, happy to play the part of the carefree good ol’ boy—drinking, carousing, and living life with no strings attached. Now it’s time for something real; something I can build and be proud of. I want to expand our ranch and take on the management of a new division. But no one is ready to take me seriously and give me the chance I need. When I run into Dr. Caroline Cressley at the local bar, she’s gorgeous and confident—nothing like the meek little bookworm she was in high school. She’s blossomed in other ways too, and don’t think I didn’t notice. Except she’s not as experienced in some areas as she’d like. And apparently I’m the perfect tutor to get her all caught up. When she asks me for help learning about the, ah, finer ways of seduction, I can’t believe my luck. Not only do I get to play around with this gorgeous woman for a few weeks, but it’s the perfect arrangement to get my brother off my back. With the well-respected town doctor on my arm, he’ll finally realize I’m settling down and ready to take life more seriously. I just never expected to develop feelings. Real ones. Because as different as we are, Caroline’s body and soul fit next to me like a missing puzzle piece. And the more time we spend together, the harder it will be to say goodbye…

Book Synopsis The United States and Turkey's Path to Europe by : Armağan Emre Çakır
Download or read book The United States and Turkey's Path to Europe written by Armağan Emre Çakır and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-12-22 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Turkey’s relations with the European Union is one of the most enigmatic topics in the European Studies literature. This country, kept at bay by Europeans for centuries, once came unexpectedly close to full-membership. The progress Turkey recorded in its European quest is difficult to account for with either Turkey’s performance or the positive attitude of the Europeans towards Turkey. In this book, Armağan Emre Çakır chronicles over six decades of US involvement in EU-Turkey relations. Shedding new light on the reasons, characteristics, transformation and relative importance of the US influence on Turkey-EU relations, he argues that Turkey’s quest for EU membership would not have advanced this far without the support from the United States. Çakır’s hypotheses and findings are grounded in original research that, among other things, includes interviews conducted on both sides of the Atlantic with key players, archival material and newspaper articles. The valuable insights presented in this book make for a much needed alternative history of this volatile relationship.

This book was released on 2011-01-25 with total page 596 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A novel of the first rank, the kind of monumental work Italo Calvino called ‘encyclopedic’ in the way it sweeps up history into a comprehensible and deeply textured pattern." — The New York Times Book Review Fearing a death sentence, Octavian and his tutor, Dr. Trefusis, escape through rising tides and pouring rain to find shelter in British-occupied Boston. Sundered from all he knows — the College of Lucidity, the rebel cause — Octavian hopes to find safe harbor. Instead, he is soon to learn of Lord Dunmore's proclamation offering freedom to slaves who join the counterrevolutionary forces. In Volume II of his unparalleled masterwork, M. T. Anderson recounts Octavian's experiences as the Revolutionary War explodes around him, thrusting him into intense battles and tantalizing him with elusive visions of liberty. Ultimately, this astonishing narrative escalates to a startling, deeply satisfying climax, while reexamining our national origins in a singularly provocative light.

Book Synopsis The Distant Whisper by : Kenneth C. Cancellara
Download or read book The Distant Whisper written by Kenneth C. Cancellara and published by Author House. This book was released on 2014 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " In his first novel, Finding Marco, author Ken Cancellara describes how, after years of corporate activity, the novel's protagonist (Mark Gentile) has a personal "awakening" in realizing that his ambition for material success has overshadowed his need for happiness and a life of ethics and morality. Sun-drenched memories of life as it once was in Gentile's hometown of Acerenza, Italy (which corresponds to the author's birthplace) call him back to reconnect with his roots and with the simple life he had left behind some half a century earlier. In Acerenza, Gentile took the lessons given to him, as a child, by his grandfather and succeeds in finding a balance between material ambition and more reflective ethics. After long reflection Gentile contemplates the possibility of a permanent move to Italy. In his poetic and eloquent sequel "The Distant Whisper", the author continues to quell the turbulence in his soul, caused by the continuing struggle between two competing forces: the compulsion of a life driven by raw ambition and the need for a life framed by morality. He takes the reader through an odyssey of beautiful descriptions of the Italian countryside in places such as Sorrento, Positano, Amalfi and Ravello along the Amalfi coast and of the Southern Italians who inhabit that beautiful corner of the world. While continuing to bask in this indescribable beauty, the protagonist is being slowly pulled back to the corporate life he had left behind in North America. It was as if a "distant whisper" was now summoning him back to wipe away the greed of its Chairman of the corporation he had abandoned, and to attempt to pull it back from the brink. Author Cancellara's recounting of the corporate manoeuvres to save the company could only have been described so realistically by a person who had had hands-on experience as a business attorney and as an executive for many years. But will Mark Gentile's soul finally find peace in the end? Will he return permanently to his place a birth-the place where he had his epiphany? Or will that "distant whisper" that brought him back to his adopted homeland of Canada compel him to stay? "Finding a balance between societally-imposed ambitions and a more reflective way of life is the internal struggle that more and more of us will be facing both by our younger generations as they become disillusioned with the pressures of maintaining career obligations and our aging populations as they enter the more mature and reflective periods in their lives. "
Book Synopsis Israel's Clandestine Diplomacies by : Clive Jones
Download or read book Israel's Clandestine Diplomacies written by Clive Jones and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2013-11-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over sixty years the state of Israel has proved adept at practising clandestine diplomacy--about which little is known, as one might expect. These hitherto undisclosed episodes in Israel's diplomatic history are revealed for the first time by the contributors to this volume, who explore how relations based upon patronage and personal friendships, as well as ties born from kinship and realpolitik both informed the creation of the state and later defined Israel's relations with a host of actors, both state and non-state. The authors focus on the extent to which Israel's clandestine diplomacies have indeed been regarded as purely functional and sub- ordinate to a realist quest for security amid the perceived hostility of a predominantly Muslim-Arab world, or have in fact proved to be manifestations of a wider acceptance--political, social and cultural--of a Jewish sovereign state as an intrinsic part of the Middle East. They also discuss whether clandestine diplomacy has been more effective in securing Israeli objectives than reliance upon more formal diplomatic ties constrained by inter- national legal obligations and how this often complex and at times contradictory matrix of clandestine relationships continues to influence perceptions of Israel's foreign policy.
Book Synopsis When Angels Whisper by : Cheryl Mcdonough
Download or read book When Angels Whisper written by Cheryl Mcdonough and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2017-04-11 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In When Angels Whisper, Cheryl Mcdonough shares some of her personal struggles over the past thirty years with addiction, illness, and the deaths of loved ones. Throughout her journey, she has been on the lookout for affirmations that things would turn out all right, that she was not alone. Each day she asks herself, What am I supposed to learn? What spiritual lesson am I being taught. Written over the course of ten years, her guidebook offers readers the opportunity to pay attention to their own angel whispers that, if heeded, will lead them to a happier and more peaceful existence. All of us are presented with difficult situations in which we need to decide to be a victim or a victor. This book is about learning and growing through tragedy rather than allowing these situations to beat us up and leave us feeling helpless and hopeless. Life is a series of lessons that, if we take the time to pay attention, will teach us that we are never alone. The author is reaching out to everyone who needs a do-over, to those of us who need to wake up and take an active role in our daily life, to anyone who needs to become more spiritually aware and centered.
