Contemporary and thought-provoking, this book provides a definition of the concept of One Welfare: the interconnection between animal welfare, human wellbeing and the environment. The book establishes a conceptual framework, in five sections, resulting from a three month global consultation on a draft proposal comprising nine areas. One Welfare complements the One Health and Eco Health approaches, enabling full integration of animal welfare within other disciplines; a much needed tool to help improve animal welfare, human wellbeing and environmental components and support worldwide sustainable development goals. Integrating this concept into existing projects could help to foster collaboration to improve human and animal welfare globally. This text is of interest to those working in the fields of animal and human welfare, sustainability and conservation, international development and to all those keen to extend the one health approach to animal welfare and human wellbeing.

Au soir d’une vie consacrée à l’exploration de l’âme humaine, Freud affirme que ceux qu’il désigne comme « animaux supérieurs », qui ont notamment connu une période de dépendance dans l’enfance, ont le même appareil psychique que l’homme. Cette affirmation est rendue possible grâce à une conception du psychisme plus profonde que celles qui lient inconscient et langage. Elle fait appel à l’histoire de l’évolution et pense une commune condition des êtres vivants, nés et mortels. Si Freud extrapole sa thèse de l’inconscient, du moi et du surmoi aux animaux supérieurs, ce n’est donc en rien par anthropomorphisme. Il s’agit plutôt d’un constat, désormai...

When Kinraid goes back to his ship, he is forcibly enlisted in the Royal Navy by a press gang, a scene witnessed by Philip. Philip does not tell Sylvia of the inc...
