"Highly compelling...page-turning read" — TNC's Cool Green Science We love our pets. Dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and other species have become an essential part of more families than ever before—in North America today, pets outnumber people. Pet owners are drawn to their animal companions through an innate desire to connect with other species. But there is a dark side to our domestic connection with animal life: the pet industry is contributing to a global conservation crisis for wildlife—often without the knowledge of pet owners. In Unnatural Companions, journalist Peter Christie issues a call to action for pet owners. If we hope to reverse the alarming trend of wildlife decline, pet owners must acknowledge the pets-versus-conservation dilemma and concede that our well-fed and sheltered cats too often prey on small backyard wildlife and seemingly harmless reptiles released into the wild might be the next destructive invasive species. We want our pets to eat nutritionally healthy food, but how does the designer food we feed them impact the environment? Christie's book is a cautionary tale to responsible pet owners about why we must change the ways we love and care for our pets. It concludes with the positive message that the small changes we make at home can foster better practices within the pet industry that will ultimately benefit our pets’ wild brethren.

"Decoding Frankenstein" delves into Mary Shelley's seminal work, exploring the multifaceted themes and ethical dilemmas that have captivated readers since its inception. The guide begins by examining the novel's historical context, laying the foundation for understanding the societal, scientific, and cultural shifts of the early 19th century that influenced Shelley's writing. This period was marked by rapid advancements in science and technology, alongside significant philosophical debates about human nature, ethics, and the role of science in society. These historical elements are crucial for grasping the narrative's complexities and its characters' motivations. At the heart of "Frankenstein" lies the fraught relationship between Victor Frankenstein and his creation, a central theme that raises questions about responsibility, the consequences of unchecked ambition, and the ethical boundaries of scientific exploration. Victor's ambitious quest to create life and subsequent failure to accept responsibility for his creation encapsulates the novel's critique of human hubris and the moral obligations accompanying scientific discovery. This guide emphasizes the dynamic between creator and creation, exploring how their evolving conflict reflects broader themes of alienation, revenge, and the quest for understanding. The novel's moral and ethical questions exploration forms another critical component of this guide. Students are encouraged to reflect on the implications of Victor's scientific endeavors, the societal rejection faced by the Creature, and the devastating impact of loneliness and isolation. These reflections lead to discussions on the nature of justice, the pursuit of knowledge, and the consequences of playing God. The guide also tackles the theme of nature versus nurture, inviting students to consider how environment and treatment shape the Creature's descent into violence and despair. "Frankenstein" presents an enduring study of the human condition through its rich narrative and complex character dynamics. This guide aims to illuminate the ethical considerations, the significance of empathy and social responsibility, and the dangers inherent in pursuing knowledge without ethical constraints. By examining these themes, students can engage deeply with Shelley's work and draw connections to contemporary debates surrounding science, ethics, and society. "Decoding Frankenstein" offers a thorough analysis of "Frankenstein," encouraging students to critically engage with the text's historical background, thematic depth, and moral questions. It provides a structured framework for understanding the novel's enduring relevance and the profound ethical considerations it raises, making it an indispensable resource for students seeking to explore the rich narrative and philosophical depths of Mary Shelley's masterpiece.

The earliest evidence of a human and a pet can be traced as far back as 26,000 BC in France where a boy and his 'canid' took a walk through a cave. Their foot and paw prints were preserved together on the muddy cave floor, and smoke from the torch the boy carried was left on the walls, allowing archaeologists to carbon-date their journey. And so, the story unfolds, from these prehistoric days all the way up to the present, of humans' innate and undeniable need to live in the close company of animals. In this startling new work, acclaimed cultural detective and life-long pet owner Jacky Colliss Harvey uses her compelling story-telling skills and keen eye for historical investigation to examine our role as animals' companions, in this exploration of the history not of the pet, but of us as pet-owners. Drawing on literary, artistic and archaeological evidence of our relationships with other species, over thousands of years of human experience, she examines the when, the how and the why of our connection to those animals we take into our lives, assessing these against the latest scientific thinking on this complex and enthralling subject, and suggesting new insights into this most long-standing of all human love-affairs.
