Radio Acting
BBC Radio issues some 14,000 contracts a year to radio actors. In addition, there is a large market for actors in voice-overs, commercials and book readings. Radio differs as a medium from acting for the stage, television or film, and many actors have neither experience nor training in it. This guide takes readers through the studio layout and recording, technical terms and productive working relations with the radio director. The author describes preparing a role, voice technique, rehearsal and recording. There is also a chapter devoted to voice-overs and commercials - a lucrative part of the business - and getting started on a radio career. Appendices include a marked-up radio script, technical exercises and a glossary of technical terms.
Understanding Dogs
In Understanding Dogs, Clinton R. Sanders explores the day-to-day experience of living and working with canine companions. Based on a decade of research in obedience classes, veterinary offices, and guide dog training schools, Sanders examines how dog owners come to understand their animals as thinking, emotional individuals--and explains how dogs serve as social facilitators as well as adornments to personal identity. Sanders shows dog owners how--while we try to teach and shape our dogs' behavior--they often teach us how to more thoughtfully enjoy physical warmth, a nourishing meal, a walk in the woods, or the simple joys of the immediate moment.

Between Pets and People
Since the first edition of Between Pets and People in 1983, the authors' then-startling contention that pets benefit our mental and physical health has found wide acceptance. Evidence in our daily lives - in television pet food ads, in doctor's offices outfitted with aquaria - attests to how widely the belief in pets' therapeutic influence is now held. This revised edition of Between Pets and People, with additional data and case studies and expanded references - including a listing of Internet resources - and a foreword by Elizabeth Marshall Thomas, analyzes the surprisingly complex relationships we have with our pets. This book contains an important lesson for everyone - to accept ourselves and others in the uncritical way that pets accept us, and come to terms with our own animal nature.
Radio Drama
Radio Drama brings together the practical skills needed for radio drams, such as directing, writing and sound design, with media history and communication theory. Challenging the belief that sound drama is a 'blind medium', Radio Drama shows how experimentation in radio narrative has blurred the dividing line between fiction and reality in modern media. Using extracts from scripts and analysing radio broadcasts from America, Britain, Canada and Australia, the book explores the practicalities of producing drama for radio. Tim Crook illustrates how far radio drama has developed since the first 'audiophonic production' and evaluates the future of radio drama in the age of live phone-ins and immedate access to programmes on the Internet.

The Feminist Care Tradition in Animal Ethics
In Beyond Animal Rights, Josephine Donovan and Carol J. Adams introduced feminist "ethic of care" theory into philosophical discussions of the treatment of animals. In this new volume, seven essays from Beyond Animal Rights are joined by nine new articles-most of which were written in response to that book-and a new introduction that situates feminist animal care theory within feminist theory and the larger debate over animal rights. Contributors critique theorists' reliance on natural rights doctrine and utilitarianism, which, they suggest, have a masculine bias. They argue for ethical attentiveness and sympathy in our relationships with animals and propose a link between the continuing subjugation of women and the human domination of nature. Beginning with the earliest articulation of the idea in the mid-1980s and continuing to the theory's most recent revisions, this volume presents the most complete portrait of the evolution of the feminist-care tradition.
