Book Description
Two young pigs wave farewell to their mum and set off on an epic journey to find their father. . . It's been two years since Heather got the farm in Scotland back for Isla and her dad, and she is struggling. As her piglets grow up, Heather is having to adjust not only to being a single mum, but also to having to deal with their adolescence. Over the years Heather has had many litters, but, not to put too fine a point on it, hitherto none of them made it past the suckling stage. But now Heather is no longer a working animal and is raising the two piglets she had with Aitor the stripey Bearded pig from London zoo. She's having to cope with the inevitable problems which come with being the mother of two cheeky, opinionated, adolescent piglets - Eder and her brother Tor. When a near disaster leaves Heather at death's door, her friend Rhona takes matters into her own hands. She decides the piglets need some discipline, and if Heather is too ill to provide it, she must find someone who can. She sends the piglets off to find Aitor, their father, last seen in a disused coalmine outside Gateshead some two years ago. . .

Book Description
Heir to one of America’s great fortunes, David Farnsworth Smythe lives lavishly and licentiously. As far as David is concerned, the privilege of wealth is to squander vast sums on young women willing to capitulate to his sordid sexual penchants and completely debase themselves for money…and his pleasure. But when it comes time to inherit his billions, David draws the attention of the clever and Dominant Heather MacDougall, a woman with whom no man should trifle. Nor should any male cross her beautiful and accomplished team of female bodyguards and torturers, all dedicated to relieving David of every, last inherited dollar. An action thriller of intrigue, coercion, theft by deception, torture, and duplicity, as the powerful Ms. MacDougall and her accomplices subdue, humiliate and squash into submission this repugnant male. For aficionados of Female Dominance and the abject subjugation of the male.

Book Description
"An important and groundbreaking contribution to the struggle for the welfare of animals." --Yuval Harari, New York Times best-selling author of Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind The book offers an absorbing look at why and how humans can so wholeheartedly devote ourselves to certain animals and then allow others to suffer needlessly, especially those slaughtered for our consumption. Social psychologist Melanie Joy explores the many ways we numb ourselves and disconnect from our natural empathy for farmed animals. She coins the term "carnism" to describe the belief system that has conditioned us to eat certain animals and not others. In Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows, Joy investigates factory farming, exposing how cruelly the animals are treated, the hazards that meatpacking workers face, and the environmental impact of raising 10 billion animals for food each year. Controversial and challenging, this book will change the way you think about food forever. "An absorbing examination of why humans feel affection and compassion for certain animals but are callous to the suffering of others." --Publishers Weekly "I think Gandhi would have loved Why We Love Dogs, Eat Pigs, and Wear Cows. For this is a book that can change the way you think and change the way you live. It will lead you from denial to awareness, from passivity to action, and from resignation to hope." --John Robbins, author of Diet for a New America and The Food Revolution
