"Many pet dogs are experiencing anxiety and frustration as they struggle to adapt to human home environments--despite being pampered, poofed, and petted, or perhaps in part because of this. We can do better for them. Who's a Good Dog challenges us to think more carefully about the limits we place on their inherited, deep-rooted behaviors. Bioethicist Jessica Pierce explores common practices of caring for, socializing, and training pet dogs. She asks broader ethical questions and helps us think more critically about what we expect of our dogs. She offers resources to help readers cultivate kindness and more mindful attentiveness. This work is about the art of noticing, of astonishment, of looking with fresh eyes (and noses!) at these dear beings we think we know. Pierce avoids judgement while taking a clear stance on important issues, connecting her research to her relationship with Bella, the dog in her life"--

A richly illustrated celebration of the mysterious world of worms in science and culture. This book celebrates the mysterious world of worms from gardens to toothaches and beyond. Kevin Butt introduces all manner of worms, including many that bear only superficial resemblance to our limbless, sinuous friends in the dirt. To trace the intimate history between worms and people, he discusses worms that live in bodies, soil, and water as well as worms from literature and mythology. Throughout the ages, worms have been portrayed as benign, even beautiful, yet at other times spitefully ostracized as deadly creatures. This richly illustrated book looks at the microscopic and the very large indeed, asking what the future holds for both human- and worm-kind.
