Uma Breve Introdução à Ética Animal: Desde as Questões Clássicas até o Que Vem Sendo Discutido Atualmente
Uma breve introdução à ética animal apresenta os principais tópicos que estão em discussão quando se trata das implicações éticas de nossas decisões que afetam os animais não humanos, levantando novas questões e propondo uma nova abordagem aos problemas centrais dessa área. Tópicos clássicos, que são o pano de fundo para o entendimento da discussão presente em outras obras sobre o tema, são abordados de maneira detalhada em uma linguagem acessível. Temos obrigações para com os animais não humanos? Em caso afirmativo, deveríamos ter por eles o mesmo grau de consideração que deveríamos ter pelos humanos? O que é especismo? É análogo a outras formas de discriminaç...

Mediocracy
There was no Reichstag fire. No storming of the Bastille. No mutiny on the Aurora. Instead, the mediocre have seized power without firing a single shot. They rose to power on the tide of an economy where workers produce assembly-line meals without knowing how to cook at home, give customers instructions over the phone that they themselves don’t understand, or sell books and newspapers that they never read. Canadian intellectual juggernaut Alain Deneault has taken on all kinds of evildoers: mining companies, tax-dodgers, and corporate criminals. Now he takes on the most menacing threat of all: the mediocre.
The Pandemic Century
Like sharks, epidemic diseases always lurk just beneath the surface. This fast-paced history of their effect on mankind prompts questions about the limits of scientific knowledge, the dangers of medical hubris, and how we should prepare as epidemics become ever more frequent. Ever since the 1918 Spanish influenza pandemic, scientists have dreamed of preventing catastrophic outbreaks of infectious disease. Yet, despite a century of medical progress, viral and bacterial disasters continue to take us by surprise, inciting panic and dominating news cycles. From the Spanish flu and the 1924 outbreak of pneumonic plague in Los Angeles to the 1930 'parrot fever' pandemic and the more recent SARS, Ebola, and Zika epidemics, the last 100 years have been marked by a succession of unanticipated pandemic alarms. Like man-eating sharks, predatory pathogens are always present in nature, waiting to strike; when one is seemingly vanquished, others appear in its place. These pandemics remind us of the limits of scientific knowledge, as well as the role that human behaviour and technologies play in the emergence and spread of microbial diseases.
