In this critically acclaimed exploration from the authors of Our Kindred Creatures, journalist Bill Wasik and veterinarian Monica Murphy chart four thousand years of the history, science, and cultural mythology of rabies. From Greek myths to zombie flicks, from the laboratory heroics of Louis Pasteur to the contemporary search for a lifesaving treatment, Rabid is a fresh and often wildly entertaining look at one of humankind''s oldest and most fearsome foes.

Wasik and Murphy chronicle more than two millennia of myths and discoveries about rabies and the animals that transmit it, including dogs, bats and raccoons." -The Wall Street Journal

A compassionate, sweeping history of the transformation in American attitudes toward animals by the best-selling authors of Rabid Over just a few decades at the end of the nineteenth century, the United States underwent a moral revolution on behalf of animals. Before the Civil War, animals'' suffering had rarely been discussed; horses pulling carriages and carts were routinely beaten in public view, and dogs were pitted against each other for entertainment and gambling. But in 1866, a group of activists began a dramatic campaign to change the nation’s laws and norms, and by the century’s end, most Americans had adopted a very different way of thinking and feeling about the animals in their midst. In Our Kindred Creatures, Bill Wasik, editorial director of The New York Times Magazine, and veterinarian Monica Murphy offer a fascinating history of this crusade and the battles it sparked in American life. On the side of reform were such leaders as George Angell, the inspirational head of Massachusetts’s animal-welfare society and the American publisher of the novel Black Beauty; Henry Bergh, founder of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals; Caroline White of Philadelphia, who fought against medical experiments that used live animals; and many more, including some of the nation’s earliest veterinarians and conservationists. Caught in the movement’s crosshairs were transformational figures in their own right: animal impresarios such as P. T. Barnum, industrial meat barons such as Philip D. Armour, and the nation’s rising medical establishment, all of whom put forward their own, very different sets of modern norms about how animals should be treated. In recounting this remarkable period of moral transition—which, by the turn of the twentieth century, would give birth to the attitudes we hold toward animals today—Wasik and Murphy challenge us to consider the obligations we still have to all our kindred creatures.

Humans operate under the gift of time. We use our time to do myriad things. We work hard. We rest. We wear our pajamas all day sometimes. We overeat. We avoid the dentist. We get married and have families. We travel. We have hobbies. We fail. We succeed. We dance. We laugh. We love, and we hate. Time is wonderful for as long as we have it; but eventually, our time expires, and WHAM! We cease to be, and our story ends, right? The Tao of Me is about making sure that your story does not end. The Tao is a family heirloom that you write yourself in your own time, in your own words through prompts designed to help you to reflect on and then share who you really are without the need for an expensive personal historian or a long, arduous process. The Tao will let you to easily attain the posterity you deserve by sharing that which cannot be shared through oral tradition alone - a panoramic view of the human who was once you, in your own words and in your own hand. Your Tao is all you, BY YOU, unfiltered, anecdotal, raw, silly, funny, serious, lofty, mundane. You have a story. Go tell it.

Alexandria will nur ein normales Leben führen, aber sie ist pleite. Nachdem ihre Eltern wegen Veruntreuung im Gefängnis gelandet sind, schreibt sie sich mit dem Mädchennamen ihrer Mutter am College ein und versucht ihr Bestes, jemand anderes zu sein. Auf einer Party lernt sie Tristan kennen: reich, faul und egozentrisch. Als er sie anmacht, schüttet sie ihm ihr Bier über den Kopf, aber das stößt ihn nicht ab. Im Gegenteil: Tristan liebt nichts mehr als eine Herausforderung ...

Ich habe mein Leben für sie riskiert, darf mich aber nicht zu erkennen geben ... Vor langer Zeit, als ich fünfzehn und eine komplett andere Person war, habe ich einem Mädchen das Leben gerettet. Ich habe nur ein paar Stunden mit ihr verbracht, aber irgendwie entstand eine Verbindung – und seitdem war ich nicht mehr derselbe. Niemand versteht, was wir durchgemacht haben. Niemand weiß, was es bedeutet, wir zu sein. Wir haben überlebt, aber ich fühle mich nicht, als ob ich richtig leben würde – bis jetzt. Acht Jahre später habe ich sie gefunden. Ich will, dass sie zu mir gehört. Aber sie wird mich für immer hassen, wenn sie herausfindet, wer ich wirklich bin.

The Fowler Sisters Series Dall’autrice della serie One Week Girlfriend Una serie frizzante su tre sorelle sfrenate e gli uomini che vorrebbero rubare il loro cuore Si dice che per il figlio minore sia tutto più facile, ma è una bugia. Diversamente dalle mie sorelle non sono mai stata notata per i miei successi. Lavoro sodo alla Fleur Cosmetics ma non conto niente.
