Moral Entanglements: Conserving Birds in Britain and Germany
by Stefan BargheerAt the center of Stefan Bargheer’s account of bird watching, field ornithology, and nature conservation in Britain and Germany stands the question of how values change over time and how individuals develop moral commitments. Using life history data derived from written narratives and oral histories, Moral Entanglements follows the development of conservation from the point in time at which the greatest declines in bird life took place to the current efforts in large-scale biodiversity conservation and environmental policy within the European Union. While often depicted as the outcome of an environmental revolution that has taken place since the 1960s, Bargheer demonstrates to the contrary that the relevant practices and institutions that shape contemporary conservation have evolved gradually since the early nineteenth century. Moral Entanglements further shows that the practices and institutions in which bird conservation is entangled differ between the two countries. In Britain, birds derived their meaning in the context of the game of bird watching as a leisure activity. Here birds are now, as then, the most popular and best protected taxonomic group of wildlife due to their particularly suitable status as toys in a collecting game, turning nature into a playground. In Germany, by contrast, birds were initially part of the world of work. They were protected as useful economic tools, rendering services of ecological pest control in a system of agricultural production modeled after the factory shop floor. Based on this extensive analysis, Bargheer formulates a sociology of morality informed by a pragmatist theory of value.
Moral, Believing Animals: Human Personhood and Culture
by Christian SmithWhat kind of animals are human beings? And how do our visions of the human shape our theories of social action and institutions? InMoral, Believing Animals, Christian Smith advances a creative theory of human persons and culture that offers innovative, challenging answers to these and other fundamental questions in sociological, cultural, and religious theory. Smith suggests that human beings have a peculiar set of capacities and proclivities that distinguishes them significantly from other animals on this planet. Despite the vast differences in humanity between cultures and across history, no matter how differently people narrate their lives and histories, there remains an underlying structure of human personhood that helps to order human culture, history, and narration. Drawing on important recent insights in moral philosophy, epistemology, and narrative studies, Smith argues that humans are animals who have an inescapable moral and spiritual dimension. They cannot avoid a fundamental moral orientation in life and this, says Smith, has profound consequences for how sociology must study human beings.

More About Paddington (Paddington Bear #2)
by Michael BondIn this new book about him, Paddington is still living with the Brown family in London and still filling their lives with near disasters that somehow manage to end up as almost triumphs. There is the time Paddington sets out to redecorate his room and imprisons himself in an indescribable chaos of paint and wallpaper, but at least he saves Mr. Brown the trouble of doing the job himself. Or the time he turns detective only to succeed in bagging a London policeman. With Paddington around, the traditional Guy Fawkes Day celebration takes on far more excitement than the usual fireworks. And when Paddington sets out to do his Christmas shopping, and ends up in a display window, nothing less than the entire department store is thrown into confusion. But his Christmas surprise for the Browns is more than recompense for the daily strain of coping with his good intentions. This book contains picture descriptions.

by Markus Imhoof Claus-Peter LieckfeldThe acclaimed director shares a gorgeously photographed and &“wonderfully thorough immersion in the world of bees and beekeeping&” (Rowan Jacobsen, author of Fruitless Fall). The saying goes that without bees, humankind would only survive for four more years; these crucial pollinators are, indeed, worth more than honey.

Illustrated with jaw-droppingly detailed photos of bees, More Than Honey is a fascinating, accessible overview of a species that is inextricably tied to our survival.

More-than-Human Aging: Animals, Robots, and Care in Later Life (Global Perspectives on Aging)
by Andrew Whitehouse Cristina DouglasWhat does later life look like when it is lived in the companionship of other species? Similarly, how do other species age (or not) with humans, and what sort of (a)symmetries, if any, are brought to light around how we understand and think about aging? So far, aging has been investigated in the social sciences in purely human terms. This is the first collection of original work that considers aging as taking place in relation to other species. This volume aims to start a conversation about aging by taking its more-than-human participants seriously—that is, not only as a support for or context of human aging but also, more symmetrically, as agents and subjects in the process of aging. The contributors draw upon richly descriptive ethnographic accounts, including moments of connection between seniors and dogs in a long-term care facility, human care for aging laboratory animals, and robotic companionship in later life. The ethnographies in this volume not only enrich our understanding of more-than-human companionship during the human aging process but also challenge and urge us to rethink what it means to live later in life in ecologically entangled social and moral worlds.
