Released May 2011: Nature documentaries often depict animal life as a grim struggle for survival, but this visually stunning book opens our eyes to a different, more scientifically up-to-date way of looking at the animal kingdom. In more than one hundred striking images, The Exultant Ark celebrates the full range of animal experience with dramatic portraits of animal pleasure ranging from the charismatic and familiar to the obscure and bizarre. These photographs, windows onto the inner lives of pleasure seekers, show two polar bears engaged in a bout of wrestling, hoary marmots taking time for a game of chase, Japanese macaques enjoying a soak in a hot spring, a young bull elk sticking out his tongue to catch snowflakes, and many other amusements...

Second Nature: The Inner Lives of Animals For centuries we believed that humans were the only ones that mattered. The idea that animals had feelings was either dismissed or considered heresy.

Pleasurable Kingdom: Animals and the Nature of Feeling Good
The Use of Animals in Higher Education: Problems, Alternatives, & Recommendations The Use of Animals in Higher Education is well-researched and annotated and international in scope, with a primary focus on the U.S. It addresses secondary education as strongly as higher education, with quite a focus on elementary education as well. After reading it, one is left wondering how the practice of dissection, in particular, has survived in our schools for this long. Every possible justification for dissection is held up, examined and found to be fatally flawed. Objections to dissection are also detailed, some that many may have never considered before, such as the dangers of formaldehyde exposure. READ MORE |

“'Pleasurable Kingdom' is well written and pleasurably light reading. It makes an interesting point that we might not normally consider. There's nothing at all wrong with this book, and anyone with an interest in animal welfare (or just in animals) certainly ought to read it. I may even read it to my cat.”
