In this interdisciplinary work, author Ron Edwards offers an innovative rereading of H. G. Wells' "The Island of Dr. Moreau." Edwards utilizes his twenty-five years in biology and the ethics of animal research to examine the bioethical implications of Wells' work and its relevance to contemporary scientific and philosophical discussions. He tackles the myth of human exceptionalism, the notion that we are fundamentally different from the rest of the animal kingdom. We must view ourselves, he argues, not as from animals, but as animals.

The approachable tone is suitable for a wide audience...

Although life on the streets may be difficult and horrifying, Ronald Edwards' poetry about coming up from them and finding his own way to success is anything but Capturing the realness and the truth of what happens day in and day out in the world Ronald Edwards uses poetic brilliance to shine a light on drugs, disease, and bad decisions. Without fear, Edwards approaches topics from which other poets may find themselves shying away. With great force and sincerity, Ronald Edwards holds no punches as he tells the stories about, A Little This, A Little That, A Little Rap.
