Cow Are Cool! Love 'Em
ISBN: 9788190976046 / Angielski / Miękka / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) This book deals with the internal lives of the cows and contains true stories from around the world. Cow is a very sober animal and does not wag its tail as often as a dog. This does not mean dog is good and cow is food. All animals including the dog should be shown love and care. But cow especially has a serious significance for human existence. Talk about cows' feelings is often brushed off as fluffy and sentimental but this book proves it otherwise.

A Theory of Justice for Animals
ISBN: 9780199936311 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Are animals worthy recipients of justice? If so, what do we owe them, and what is to be gained by using the language of justice when considering our duties toward them? This innovative book argues that not only are animals worthy recipients of justice, but that the language of justice offers a stronger base of claims for animal advocates than does the language of ethics or morality. Contending that a genuinely political theory of animal rights must go beyond the level of ideal theory, this is the first account of animal ethics to use nonideal theory to plot a course from where we are now to...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Very few of the 2.5 million people who visit Yellowstone National Park and who are awed by America's only continuously wild and genetically pure bison herd are aware that over the past decade, state and federal agencies have engaged in the wanton slaughter of 3,500 of these magnificent animals, solely because they wandered out of delineated confines of the National Park.

In the Presence of Buffalo was inspired by his desire to see the buffalo honored and respected...

ISBN: 9789004235823 / Angielski / Miękka / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Animals at Work is founded upon a broad and unique variety of empirical research settings - animal sanctuaries, farms, slaughter-houses, veterinary practices and behind the scenes of a natural history documentary film-making team. Hamilton and Taylor apply a breadth of post-structural and post-humanist theories to establish what happens when animal-agents are brought into human networks and spaces of representation, and the artful ways in which they become integral in shared human meaning-making. Interrogating the apparent boundaries of meaning between animals and humans by taking a...

The Oxford Handbook of Animal Ethics
ISBN: 9780199351978 / Angielski / Miękka / 1008 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Humans encounter and use animals in a stunning number of ways. The nature of these animals and the justifiability or unjustifiabilitly of human uses of them are the subject matter of this volume.
Philosophers have long been intrigued by animal minds and vegetarianism, but only around the last quarter of the twentieth century did a significant philosophical literature begin to be developed on both the scientific study of animals and the ethics of human uses of animals. This literature had a primary focus on discussion of animal psychology, the moral status of animals, the nature and... Humans encounter and use animals in a stunning number of ways.

Morality's Progress: Essays on Humans, Other Animals, and the Rest of Nature
ISBN: 9780199251452 / Angielski / Miękka / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Morality's Progress is the summation of nearly three decades of work by a leading figure in environmental ethics and bioethics. The twenty-two papers here are invigoratingly diverse, but together tell a unified story about various aspects of the morality of our relationships to animals and to nature. Jamieson's direct and accessible essays will convince sceptics that thinking about these relations offers great intellectual reward, and his work here sets a challenging, controversial agenda for the future.

Zoopolis: A Political Theory of Animal Rights
ISBN: 9780199599660 / Angielski / Twarda / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Zoopolis offers a new agenda for the theory and practice of animal rights. Most animal rights theory focuses on the intrinsic capacities or interests of animals, and the moral status and moral rights that these intrinsic characteristics give rise to. Zoopolis shifts the debate from the realm of moral theory and applied ethics to the realm of political theory, focusing on the relational obligations that arise from the varied ways that animals relate to human societies and institutions. Building on recent developments in the political theory of group-differentiated citizenship,...

Can Animals Be Moral?
ISBN: 9780199842001 / Angielski / Twarda / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) From eye-witness accounts of elephants apparently mourning the death of family members to an experiment that showed that hungry rhesus monkeys would not take food if doing so gave another monkey an electric shock, there is much evidence of animals displaying what seem to be moral feelings. But despite such suggestive evidence, philosophers steadfastly deny that animals can act morally, and for reasons that virtually everyone has found convincing. In Can Animals be Moral?, philosopher Mark Rowlands examines the reasoning of philosophers and scientists on this question--ranging...

Thinking Animals: Why Animal Studies Now?
ISBN: 9780231148092 / Angielski / Miękka / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Kari Weil provides a critical introduction to the field of animal studies as well as an appreciation of its thrilling acts of destabilization. Examining real and imagined confrontations between human and nonhuman animals, she charts the presumed lines of difference between human beings and other species and the personal, ethical, and political implications of those boundaries. Weil's considerations recast the work of such authors as Kafka, Mann, Woolf, and Coetzee, and such philosophers as Nietzsche, Heidegger, Derrida, Deleuze, Agamben, Cixous, and Hearne, while incorporating the...

Animal Oppression and Human Violence: Domesecration, Capitalism, and Global Conflict
ISBN: 9780231151887 / Angielski / Twarda / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Jared Diamond and other leading scholars have argued that the domestication of animals for food, labor, and tools of war has advanced the development of human society. But by comparing practices of animal exploitation for food and resources in different societies over time, David A. Nibert reaches a strikingly different conclusion. He finds in the domestication of animals, which he renames "domesecration," a perversion of human ethics, the development of large-scale acts of violence, disastrous patterns of destruction, and growth-curbing epidemics of infectious disease. Nibert centers his...

Species Matters: Humane Advocacy and Cultural Theory
ISBN: 9780231152839 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Why has the academy struggled to link advocacy for animals to advocacy for various human groups? Within cultural studies, in which advocacy can take the form of a theoretical intervention, scholars have resisted arguments that add "species" to race, class, gender, sexuality, disability, and other human-identity categories as a site for critical analysis. Species Matters considers whether cultural studies should pay more attention to animal advocacy and whether, in turn, animal studies should pay more attention to questions raised by cultural theory. The contributors to this volume...

Animals and the Human Imagination: A Companion to Animal Studies
ISBN: 9780231152969 / Angielski / Twarda / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Human beings have long imagined their subjectivity, ethics, and ancestry with and through animals, yet not until the mid-twentieth century did contemporary thought reflect critically on animals' significance in human self-conception. Thinkers such as French philosopher Jacques Derrida, South African novelist J. M. Coetzee, and American theorist Donna Haraway have initiated rigorous inquiries into the question of the animal, now blossoming in a number of directions. It is no longer strange to say that if animals did not exist, we would have to invent them. This interdisciplinary and...
