by Kelly CooperFor horse-loving readers of all ages, a lyrical and exquisitely illustrated picture book following the relationship between a boy and a horse, separated then reunited. This is a story about enduring friendships and how language is shaped by our experiences.The foal is born on a spring morning of sunshine and snow melt. If she had words, she would say willow, crocus, puddle and sky . . .Red Badger is a newborn foal learning to stand when she slips and gets stuck in a muddy badger hole. It is a young boy who frees her, and his kindness and gentleness mark the beginning of their friendship -- though she will always be wary of the ground that briefly trapped her. As the seasons pass on the ranch, Red Badger learns more about her world: Fall is leaf rustle and fence posts. Winter is white hills and long nights. The boy is hay, a gentle touch, playing in the snow and the sweet smell of peppermints. If a horse had words, the word would be . . . friend. This is a beautifully written and heartwarming story told from the horse's point of view that follows her relationship with a boy from the day she is born, to when she is sent to auction, to the day she and the boy are reunited at a rodeo where she has become a bronc and he a cowboy.

Ignoring Nature No More: The Case for Compassionate Conservation
by Marc BekoffFor far too long humans have been ignoring nature. As the most dominant, overproducing, overconsuming, big-brained, big-footed, arrogant, and invasive species ever known, we are wrecking the planet at an unprecedented rate. And while science is important to our understanding of the impact we have on our environment, it alone does not hold the answers to the current crisis, nor does it get people to act. In Ignoring Nature No More, Marc Bekoff and a host of renowned contributors argue that we need a new mind-set about nature, one that centers on empathy, compassion, and being proactive. This collection of diverse essays is the first book devoted to compassionate conservation, a growing global movement that translates discussions and concerns about the well-being of individuals, species, populations, and ecosystems into action. Written by leading scholars in a host of disciplines, including biology, psychology, sociology, social work, economics, political science, and philosophy, as well as by locals doing fieldwork in their own countries, the essays combine the most creative aspects of the current science of animal conservation with analyses of important psychological and sociocultural issues that encourage or vex stewardship. The contributors tackle topics including the costs and benefits of conservation, behavioral biology, media coverage of animal welfare, conservation psychology, and scales of conservation from the local to the global. Taken together, the essays make a strong case for why we must replace our habits of domination and exploitation with compassionate conservation if we are to make the world a better place for nonhuman and human animals alike.

Il mio cane divenne un angelo
by Angel MeadowsSCOPRI COME TRASFORMARE IL TUO CANE IN UN ANGELO, OGGI! Molte persone portano a casa un cane, dal canile o da un allevatore, pensando sia una benedizione. Pensano di avere una piccola matassa di gioia che sembra una caramella di gelatina. Ma, raramente la vita resta in inalterata pace. Anche se ami il tuo cane più di chiunque altro, possono insorgere problemi, puoi essere frustrata, sopraffatta ed inziare a porti domande. Ogni giorno, le persone trovano difficoltà su come rapportarsi con il cane. Le cause possono essere problemi di comportamento, o iperattività, può essere dovuto ad una mancanza di obbedienza ai comandi, o perchè il padrone del cane non sa come iniziare l’addestramento. Non c’è da meravigliarsi se molte persone sono scoraggiate. Per decenni si sono sviluppate mala informazione e false teorie sull’educazione cinofila. Alcuni di questi metodi sono talmente pericolosi che hanno accresciuto l’aggressività dei cani. Non è colpa di nessuno, perchè i proprietari di cani stavano solo seguendo i suggerimenti incriminati, nella speranza di aiutare il proprio cane. Ma, non è nemmeno colpa dei cani, perchè quando si sentono vulnerabili o impauriti non hanno altro modo di proteggersi. Fortunatamente, puoi evitare lo scoraggiamento che hanno molte persone. Grazie a ricercatori che hanno devoluto i loro studi a favore del cane, abbiamo capito quali metodi di addestramento causano danni e quali aiutano sia umani che cani, con successo. Ora sappiamo che i branchi di lupi non sono costantemente in lizza fra loro per ogni situazione. I lupi sono famiglie che si prendono cura del branco. Allo stesso modo, tu ed il cane dovete prendervi cura l’uno dell’altro constantemente e creare un legame stretto. Cosa troverai in questo libro: L’importanza di educare il cane. Un addestramento con approccio positivo. Un metodo di addestramento che vi aiuterà a creare uno stretto legame e minimizzare l’aggressività
