Steven Wise

    Steven M. Wise is een jurist die zich toelegt op dierenrechten, zowel in zijn academische geschriften als in zijn activistische werk. Zijn onderzoek duikt in kwesties van dierenrechten en dierlijke intelligentie, en onderzoekt hoe deze rechten kunnen worden uitgebreid naar bepaalde diersoorten. Door zijn boeken en onderwijs probeert hij bestaande juridische en ethische kaders met betrekking tot de mens-dier relatie uit te dagen. Wise is een sleutelfiguur in de pleitbezorging voor dierenbescherming, gericht op een fundamentele verandering in de manier waarop de samenleving niet-menselijke wezens waarneemt en behandelt.

    How Shall I Live My Life?
    Rattling The Cage
    Life Is a Joke
    • I have seen a lot in my time on this earth. This book is about my experiences and includes jokes and true funny stories. Laughter, I believe, is the best medicine and people who have read the book found it uproarious and it cheered them up immensely. A doctor friend of mine actually missed their stop on the tube as they were so engrossed in the book. There are some great windups involving my long-time friend George - quality times and good memories not forgotten and now put to paper. There are also stories about my time in sport playing football and golf spanning over fifty years (wow long time). It is also about my family, friends and pets - some have unfortunately passed on so it is nice to record and live memories of them once again. I hope readers enjoy it and find it uplifting. You cannot buy a sense of humour but it is great to have one.

      This demonstrates that, based on the latest scientific findings, the cognitive, emotional and social capacities of at least chimps and bonobos entitle them to freedom from imprisonment and abuse.

      In this collection of interviews, Derrick Jensen discusses the destructive dominant culture with ten people who have devoted their lives to undermining it. Whether it is Carolyn Raffensperger and her radical approach to public health, or Thomas Berry on perceiving the sacred; be it Kathleen Dean Moore reminding us that our bodies are made of mountains, rivers, and sunlight; or Vine Deloria asserting that our dreams tell us more about the world than science ever can, the activists and philosophers interviewed in How Shall I Live My Life? each bravely present a few of the endless forms that resistance can and must take.
