Animal rarísimo
by Ana María ShuaAna María Shua nos encanta con este relato sensible que fue armando con un poco de historias personales y buenas cuotas de fantasía. Un tapir es un animal rarísimo. Un mono pelando maní es muy interesante. Una serpiente tragándose un ratón es más fascinante todavía. A Gaspar todos los animales le gustaban mucho así que estaba fascinado con la visita al zoológico. ¡Hasta los gatos callejeros le parecían hermosos! Sin embargo, a Martín, que es el hermano más grande, nada le atrajo tanto la atención como una chica que pasó comiendo helado. ¿Cómo se entiende eso?

Animal-centric Care and Management: Enhancing Refinement in Biomedical Research
by Dorte Bratbo Sørensen, Sylvie Cloutier, and Brianna N. GaskillThe concept of the 3Rs (Refinement, Reduction and Replacement) has been used as a framework for improving the welfare of laboratory animals for the last half century. By establishing an animal-centric view on housing and management, Animal-centric Care and Management: Enhancing Refinement in Biomedical Research takes Russell and Burch’s definition of Refinement as "elimination of inhumanities" and goes further. Rather than fitting animals into experimental conditions, it encourages readers to adjust conditions to better meet the behavioral, emotional, physical, and physiological needs and preferences of the animals. The team of expert authors, from the fields of laboratory animal science, ethology, biology as well as animal training, provide ideas for creating housing conditions and handling procedures that induce, to the best of current abilities and knowledge, a long-term positive state of mind in the animals under our care. This book is written for animal caretakers, animal health technicians, researchers, animal facility managers, laboratory animal veterinarians, and anyone who engages in work with living experimental animals or is interested in the continuous improvement of laboratory animal welfare. This interdisciplinary guide will act as a catalyst, resulting in multiple viewpoints and fields collaborating to optimize laboratory animal welfare.

Animality and Children’s Literature and Film
by Amy RatelleExamining culturally significant works of children's culture through a posthumanist, or animality studies lens, Animality and Children's Literature and Film argues that Western philosophy's objective to establish a notion of an exclusively human subjectivity is continually countered in the very texts that ostensibly work to this end.
