Este livro é o primeiro a identificar a crise existencial enfrentada pelos veganos. Vistopia é a resposta normal que qualquer humano que sente deveria ter depois de descobrir a natureza e a extensão do abuso sistematizado de animais pela sociedade. É alimentada pelo transe de não veganos em conluio com um mundo distópico do qual eles ainda não perceberam que fazem parte. A autora best-seller, Clare Mann, psicóloga vegana, treinadora de comunicação e psicoterapeuta existencial, não apenas valida a experiência do vegano, mas rejeita rótulos médicos que afirmam que tal angústia é anormal. Como testemunha da vistopia - termo que ela cunhou em 2017 - ela fornece aos veganos uma linguagem e ferramentas para trabalharem a sua angústia e se unirem a outros para examinarem o maior desafio de justiça social do nosso tempo: a nossa relação com o reino animal.

A transformative exploration of queer theology and the debate around same-sex marriage within the Church. Clare Herbert draws on her experience as a priest within the Church of England in a committed same-sex relationship and considers the questions that have shaped religious debate for many years. This book explores the concept of same-sex marriage in relation to the heteronormative definition of marriage, and its effect on past understandings of the sacrament.

In June 1940 Britain expected enemy invasion. Despite Churchill's determination to fight on the beaches, many parents made desperate efforts to send their children abroad to safety. Thousands left for America, Canada, Australia and other distant countries. In this revealing new book, Jessica Mann, herself a wartime evacuee, looks at the experiences of those who were sent away to a foreign land including their dangerous journeys across U-boat-ridden oceans, and asks how they coped with being away, and also how they found life back in the UK on their return. Drawing on extensive original research and memories of many former evacuees, including Elizabeth Taylor and Shirley Williams, Jessica Mann builds up a moving portrait of a lost generation.

Between the mid-eighteenth and early-nineteenth centuries, the food source that we still call the Irish potato had allowed the fastest population growth in the whole of Western Europe. As vividly described in Ó Gráda's new work, the advent of the blight phytophthora infestans transformed the potato from an emblem of utility to a symbol of death by starvation. The Irish famine peaked in Black '47, but it brought misery and increased mortality to Ireland for several years. Central to Irish and British hist...
This book addresses the eating disorder field’s misconceptions about veganism with the goal of realigning the discourse about veganism and non-veganism in eating disorder recovery. Veganism and eating disorders are often associated with one another in the eating disorder field, leading to the widely adopted belief that following the dietary component of veganism may inhibit recovery from an eating disorder. Friedman posits that this belief is founded on an oversimplified view and counters it by exploring the ethical dimensions of veganism. In this book, Friedman looks at ideas perpetuated around veganism and recovery, including the potential harm to vegans prohibited from following veganis...
