Friendships between humans and non-human animals were once dismissed as sentimental anthropomorphism. After decades of research on the emotional and cognitive capacities of animals, we now recognize human–animal friendships as true reciprocal relationships. Friendships with animals have many of the same characteristics as friendships between humans. Both parties enjoy the shared presence that friendship entails along with the pleasures that come with knowing another being. Both friends develop ways of communicating apart from, or in addition to, spoken language.

Nel 1910 le scuole rurali private della Montesca e di Rovigliano, fondate nelle tenute umbre dei Baroni Franchetti, partecipano all’Esposizione Universale e Internazionale di Bruxelles dove si raccontano per la prima volta. L’iniziativa è frutto della lungimiranza di Alice Hallgarten che, filantropa e visionaria, mira a suscitare interesse internazionale verso un innovativo progetto pedagogico volto a contrastare l’analfabetismo e la miseria che segna la vita delle famiglie dei mezzadri locali. Nella capitale belga, i quaderni e i disegni di questi ‘figli delle campagne’, che il primo giorno di lezione fanno fatica persino a «dire il loro nome», meriteranno una medaglia d’oro ...
For 30 years, since the publication of her landmark book The Sexual Politics of Meat, Carol J. Adams and her readers have continued to document and hold to account the degrading interplay of language about women, domesticated animals, and meat in advertising, politics, and media. Serving as sequel and visual companion, The Pornography of Meat charts the continued influence of this language and the fight against it. This new edition includes more than 300 images, most of them new, and brings the book up to date to include expressions of misogyny in online media and advertising, the #MeToo movement, and the impact of Donald Trump and white supremacy on our political language. Never has this book--or Adams's analysis--been more relevant.

Per quanto ogni famiglia sia infelice a modo suo, i destini delle famiglie vicine ad Alice, diciottenne inquieta, sono accomunati da incomprensioni e discordie di pari intensità. Eppure, in un pomeriggio che sembra come tanti, mentre Alice e Bruno fanno l'amore e fumano marijuana, nessuno dei loro cari può sapere cosa sta per succedere: un'auto senza controllo, la lamiera sfondata di uno scuolabus, le vite di Bruno e di un bambino, Thibaut, perdute per sempre. Non può immaginarlo il padre di Alice, che fatica a gestire le turbolenze della figlia, né la sua nuova compagna, impegnata nell'eterna ricerca della quiete domestica. Non possono immaginarlo la madre di Thibaut né quella di Bruno, che nella vendetta cercheranno l'unica consolazione al lutto. E Alice, inghiottita da una spirale di accuse, si ritroverà a sprofondare sempre più in basso, sempre più sola, sempre più in pericolo.
