Everywhere dogs are found, they are stitched into human hearts. But are humans stitched into dogs' hearts? Countless celebrations of 'the dog-human bond' suggest that they are. Yet 'the bond' does not always come easily to dogs. Dog politics seeks to denaturalise, in different ways, dogs' 'species story, ' the scientific story that claims that being with humans somehow constitutes dogs' evolutionary destiny. This book asks what evidence exists for this story, what choices dogs have but to go along with it, and what expectations, demands, and burdens it places on dogs, on a daily basis. In doing so, it offers an unfamiliar and discomforting account of the lives of domesticated dogs' today. Dog politics is an empirical investigation of dogs in science which makes important theoretical contributions to debates of contemporary significance. It addresses how the connections between animal behaviours and species identities are established in theory and practice. It analyses the enduring entanglement of racism and speciesism, and how the interlocking relations between these prejudices are shaped by the different ways that the categories of 'race' and of species are conceived of in science over time. In the light of the reification and exploitation of dogs' perceived relationality with humans, it looks again at the ethics and politics of intersubjectivity, becoming-with, entanglements. It disputes that species can be separated from storying. Above all, Dog Politics shows how species stories erase the singular individual animal as a figure of theoretical, methodological, ethical, and political value, and with what dire consequences.

From Wag to Swag: A Coffee-Table Tribute to Bird Dogs was born out of finding a dog stranded on an old country road one afternoon in February of 2022 (and the calling Steve had from his beloved Katie who died of cancer a year prior).The dog found on that old country road is now known as Abby (Abbie). Steve named her Abby after the country road he found her on (Abernathy Road). A dog who was given the title "unadoptable" after spending less than a week in a local shelter. A dog who might have been a product of euthanasia if it wasn't for Steve, his beloved Katie, and the help he received from a nonprofit rescue organization called Ripple Effect Animal Project in Napa, California.Steve's hope, through this book, is to help dogs that are abandoned and left to die, dogs that are sent to shelters, or dogs who have lost their forever homes, not by choice but by human intervention, to never have to worry about their lives ending because no one wants them. He doesn't believe anyone can truly look into one of these dogs' eyes and find that they want this to happen to them. Please help him help them.If you purchased this book, you did.Thank you, and God bless the dog, for they have given us more than we can ever give back to them!

They have lived on Planet Earth from well before the first apes and humansappeared. They lead fascinating lives that involve shooting, stinging, flying,jumping, biting, and more. Some can lift 500 times their body weight. Someothers navigate their way using the stars or even the Milky Way. Some aredeadly carriers of disease. And some pollinate more than one-third of ourfood sources. Together, they are essential for life on Earth to continue in aneven balance. They are: ants, beetles, scorpions, mantids, butterflies, bees,spiders, cockroaches and yes, even mosquitoes and flies!No one can describe the natural world as delightfully and humorously asRanjit Lal, and in The Harmony of Bees he brings his decades of experiencewatching and closely interacting with the world of creepy crawlies to writingabout more than twenty kinds of them.

Along with these bizarre and wonderful facts, Ranjit Lalexplains how these creatures live, mate, build their homes and look after (oreat) their young.Sometimes creepy, sometimes gruesome, always entertaining and packed withinformation, this is an immensely entertaining and unusual nature book
