Beyond Love
He'd only planned to run away from home, but when eight year old David Hampton is almost run over by a speeding car in downtown Sausalito and rescued by a beautiful woman with a man's name, his plans change. The one thing he has always wanted was a mom and decides Michael McCall is the mom he wants. All he has to do is convince his dad, and Mrs. McCall, but David has no way of knowing that Michael is a mom, or she was, until a tragic accident took her son and husband two years ago, or that she has refused to grieve and eventually suffered a physical and mental breakdown. Her best friend, Sarah, has checked her out of the hospital and into a cottage in Sausalito, California, to recuperate. Da...
There At The Dawning
There At The Dawning, the memories of Barbara J. Love, (other works include Sappho Was a Right-on Woman and Feminists Who Changed America 1963-1975), gives one a front-row seat to the LGBTQ+ and Women's Liberation fights for civil rights, as well as an appreciation of the character and evolution of this extraordinary and successful social visionary. As Linda Clarke notes in the introduction, "There are lessons to be learned in this autobiographical journey. It might be just the book to inform the aspiration of our youngest troublemakers and risktakers, our newest generation to try and correct its own morally intolerable social problems. They will find here many cunning stratagems and new insights on how to practice disruption nonviolently and effectively. "

Animals' Best Friends
"How do people who love animals translate that devotion into helping creatures who are not our pets? How do we express our care for animals when that means different things to omnivores and vegetarians-or, say, to hunters and non-hunters? Barbara J. King, a widely read expert on animal cognition and emotion, here guides readers through the difficult choices and deep rewards of turning empathy into action on behalf of animals. King discusses our relationship to animals in five different contexts: our homes, the wild, zoos, our food system, and research facilities such as biomedical laboratories. She offers a host of ways in which each of us can be better, and do better, for animals. Acting to...
How Animals Grieve
“A touching and provocative exploration of the latest research on animal minds and animal emotions” from the renowned anthropologist and author (The Washington Post). Scientists have long cautioned against anthropomorphizing animals, arguing that it limits our ability to truly comprehend the lives of other creatures. Recently, however, things have begun to shift in the other direction, and anthropologist Barbara J. King is at the forefront of that movement, arguing strenuously that we can—and should—attend to animal emotions. With How Animals Grieve, she draws our attention to the specific case of grief, and relates story after story—from fieldsites, farms, homes, and more—of ani...
