Book Description
We still kill other species for fun, food, fashion, profit, and with the hope of finding cures for - mostly self-induced - ills, but this book tells how the British have been shamed and legislated into moderating at least some of their cruelties to the brute creation; how class warfare and religious indifference to the plea of sentience have bedevilled every attempt at reform; and how habit and sentiment have changed. The book was first published in the UK in 1964.

Heaven's Rage
Author: Tiffany Craig Brown
Publisher: Tiffany Craig Brown
ISBN: 1432756958
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 350
Book Description
When four women suffer at the hands of one man, the results are deadly! Heaven's Rage has the usual components of a mystery novel - the crime of murder, a gruff but loveable protagonist and an assortment of suspects - yet it presents a unique theme as it takes readers back in time to tell the stories of four women who loved one man and who are now suspects in his murder. Homicide Detective Ian Buchanan is assigned to the murder investigation of Richard Tate, a retired military helicopter pilot. He quickly determines the victim's three former wives and college girlfriend all had motive and opportunity to commit the crime. As each of these women takes us through her volatile relationship with Tate, the detective finds himself sympathizing with his suspects rather than the victim. GINA RODRIGUEZ is a career naval officer determined to break through the invisible barriers of a male-dominated military. It's 1989, and along comes Dick Tate to charm her through a whirlwind romance which leads to an explosive relationship with a drunken and abusive husband. MEG MCALLISTAR is devoted to her son, but manages to get away one night a week to party at a nearby naval base. During one of those evenings in 1982, she meets the recently-divorced Dick Tate. Two years later they marry. As Dick's bitter resentment of his first wife grows, Meg is subjected to his frequent fits of rage. JORDAN CAMPBELL is just completing her Army training when she meets Dick Tate, a young pilot-trainee. Their brief romance is threatened when they each receive orders to opposite sides of the country, prompting them to wed quickly. Shortly thereafter, Jordan discovers she's pregnant and is discharged from the Army. COLLEEN MORGAN and Dick Tate are both members of their college swim team. After dating for a couple of months, Dick is becoming serious but his chameleon-like moods trouble her and she decides to end the relationship. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Tiffany Craig Brown is the daughter of a military officer who spent her early years traveling the world. Some of her first memories include bathing beneath waterfalls in the African Bush. After a brief stint in the Army, she worked in corporate marketing and communications for more than twenty years. Tiffany resides in Sacramento with her husband Tim and is currently working on her next novel.

Eternity's Sunrise
Author: Leo Damrosch
Publisher: Yale University Press
ISBN: 0300216297
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 377
Book Description
William Blake, overlooked in his time, remains an enigmatic figure to contemporary readers despite his near canonical status. Out of a wounding sense of alienation and dividedness he created a profoundly original symbolic language, in which words and images unite in a unique interpretation of self and society. He was a counterculture prophet whose art still challenges us to think afresh about almost every aspect of experience—social, political, philosophical, religious, erotic, and aesthetic. He believed that we live in the midst of Eternity here and now, and that if we could open our consciousness to the fullness of being, it would be like experiencing a sunrise that never ends. Following Blake’s life from beginning to end, acclaimed biographer Leo Damrosch draws extensively on Blake’s poems, his paintings, and his etchings and engravings to offer this generously illustrated account of Blake the man and his vision of our world. The author’s goal is to inspire the reader with the passion he has for his subject, achieving the imaginative response that Blake himself sought to excite. The book is an invitation to understanding and enjoyment, an invitation to appreciate Blake’s imaginative world and, in so doing, to open the doors of our perception.
