Book Description
Human-animal studies is an academic field that has grown exponentially over the past decade.

Never Date a Dead Animal
Author: Nancy Nichols
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780979579110
Category : Abused women
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Are you influenced by a man’s good looks, charisma and success? Do you sometimes question a man’s hurtful behavior, but keep dating him anyway? Do you have a history of dating and falling in love with the wrong man? Are you trying to find the courage to leave an abusive man? Based on a compelling true story, with zany wit and razor-sharp candor, Nancy Nichols’ Never Date a Dead Animal presents a unique introspect into the cunning, seductive, exploitive, controlling, and even ruthless tactics of antisocial personalities. If you have never been involved with a conniving, pathological lying, narcissistic man—you may not know what you’re dealing with. You may buy into his charm, braggadocio and phony facade. You may mistrust your instincts that your boyfriend or husband is lying to you, demeaning and controlling you. You may minimize your partner’s wounding behavior—you may think: he’s having a bad day, he didn’t mean it, or alcohol makes him abusive. Worse yet, you may think you are over-reacting and crazy—as he claims you are. Never Date a Dead Animal reveals: The early warning signs of the narcissistic sociopathic con-artist The covert psychological warfare of an abusive man The vicious, addictive cycle of abuse and its traumatic effects on its victim The callous pre-meditated end game of these personalities The sub-conscious mindsets which cause women to attract, fall in love with and commit to men who maltreat you

The Dying Animal
Author: Philip Roth
Publisher: HarperCollins
ISBN: 0547344015
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 171
Book Description
David Kepesh is white-haired and over sixty, an eminent TV culture critic and star lecturer at a New York college, when he meets Consuela Castillo, a decorous, well-mannered student of twenty-four, the daughter of wealthy Cuban exiles, who promptly puts his life into erotic disorder. Since the sexual revolution of the 1960s, when he left his wife and child, Kepesh has experimented with living what he calls an "emancipated manhood," beyond the reach of family or a mate. Over the years he has refined that exuberant decade of protest and license into an orderly life in which he is both unimpeded in the world of eros and studiously devoted to his aesthetic pursuits. But the youth and beauty of Consuela, "a masterpiece of volupté" undo him completely, and a maddening sexual possessiveness transports him to the depths of deforming jealousy. The carefree erotic adventure evolves, over eight years, into a story of grim loss. What is astonishing is how much of America’s post-sixties sexual landscape is encompassed in THE DYING ANIMAL. Once again, with unmatched facility, Philip Roth entangles the fate of his characters with the social forces that shape our daily lives. And there is no character who can tell us more about the way we live with desire now than David Kepesh, whose previous incarnations as a sexual being were chronicled by Roth in THE BREAST and THE PROFESSOR OF DESIRE. A work of passionate immediacy as well as a striking exploration of attachment and freedom, THE DYING ANIMAL is intellectually bold, forcefully candid, wholly of our time, and utterly without precedent--a story of sexual discovery told about himself by a man of seventy, a story about the power of eros and the fact of death.
