De aftakeling van Vladimir P.

Atlas Contact, 2016. Paperback. Pp: 352. Een datsja vlak buiten Moskou, twintig jaar in de toekomst. De ooit zo machtige Vladimir Poetin is aan het dementeren, omringd door een schaar aan bedienden, maar verder grotendeels vergeten. Hij slijt zijn dagen met (denkbeeldige) grimmige gesprekken met voormalige vrienden, vijanden en alles daartussenin. Ondertussen benut het personeel elke mogelijke kans om geld achterover te drukken uit de schijnbaar onuitputtelijke reserves van hun werkgever. Zijn integere verpleger is de enige voor wie Poetin bovenal een zorgbehoevende patiënt blijft. Deze Sheremetev is de laatste eerlijke man in de hele coterie �"“ totdat zelfs hij gedwongen wordt te kiezen tussen stelen of bestolen worden. 'De aftakeling van Vladimir P.' is een directe nazaat van Orwells Animal Farm en Gogols Revisor �"“ een absurdistische, met wodka doordrenkte tragikomedie, met in de hoofdrol een man die zijn ethische houvast kwijt dreigt te raken door een van macht en corruptie beheerste wereld. Een wereld die verdacht veel lijkt op het Rusland dat Poetin ooit zal achterlaten. ISBN: 9789025446871. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.

Animal farm

De Arbeiderspers, 2013. Paperback. Pp: 160. De dieren op een boerderij komen in opstand tegen hun meester �"“ de mens �"“ en nemen zelf de macht in handen. De varkens, die lang tevoren in het geheim hebben leren lezen en schrijven, werpen zich op als de natuurlijke leiders van de revolutie. Zij staan immers op een hoger intellectueel peil dan de andere dieren. Ze breiden hun voorrechten steeds verder uit en vormen een nieuwe elite, even oppermachtig als de oude heersers. De catastrofale ineenstorting van deze gemeenschap kan ten slotte niet uitblijven. Animal Farm, geschreven in 1943, is een klassiek geworden satire op een totalitaire staat en samenleving, die vandaag de dag nog niets aan zeggingskracht heeft verloren. ISBN: 9789029587105.

Patrick Ness 63855

Burn

Walker Books, 2020. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 382. An all-consuming story of revenge, redemption and dragons from the twice Carnegie Medal-winner Patrick Ness. "On a cold Sunday evening in early 1957, Sarah Dewhurst waited with her father in the parking lot of the Chevron Gas Station for the dragon he'd hired to help on the farm." This dragon, Kazimir, has more to him than meets the eye. Sarah can't help but be curious about him, an animal who supposedly doesn't have a soul but is seemingly intent on keeping her safe from the brutal attentions of Deputy Sheriff Emmett Kelby. Kazimir knows something she doesn't. He has arrived at the farm because of a prophecy. A prophecy that involves a deadly assassin, a cult of dragon worshippers, two FBI agents - and somehow, Sarah Dewhurst herself. From the bestselling author of the Chaos Walking trilogy comes a heart-stopping story of fanaticism, hope, bravery and impossible second chances, set in a world on the very brink of its own destruction.

Clean Meat

Gallery Books, 2018. Hardcover. Pp: 256. Paul Shapiro gives you a front-row seat for the wild story of the race to create and commercialize cleaner, safer, sustainable meat"real meat"without the animals. From the entrepreneurial visionaries to the scientists` workshops to the big business board­rooms"Shapiro details that quest for clean meat and other animal products and examines the debate raging around it.Since the dawn of Homo sapiens some quarter million years ago, animals have satiated our species` desire for meat. But with a growing global popula­tion and demand for meat, eggs, dairy, leather, and more, raising such massive numbers of farm animals is woefully inefficient and takes an enormous toll on the planet, public health, and certainly the animals themselves. But what if we could have our meat and eat it, too? The next great scientific revolution is underway"discovering new ways to create enough food for the world`s ever-growing, ever-hungry population. Enter clean meat"real, actual meat grown (or brewed!) from animal cells"as well as other clean foods that ditch animal cells altogether and are simply built from the molecule up. Also called lab-grown meat, cultured meat, or cell-based meat, this race promises promise to bring about another domestication. Whereas our ancestors domesticated wild animals into livestock, today we`re beginning to domesticate their cells, leaving the animals out of the equation. From one single cell of a cow, you could feed an entire village. And the story of this coming �"œsecond domestica­tion�"� is anything but tame. ISBN: 9781501189081. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.

Tovar Cerulli 272983

The Mindful Carnivore. A Vegetarian's Hunt for Sustenance

Pegasus Books, 2012. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 281. A personal tale of how one man comes to terms with the meat on his plate and a historical look at humanity's connection to animals. The Mindful Carnivore delivers new insight in the too often simplistic vegetarian versus carnivore argument. -Novella Carpenter, author of Farm City: The Education of an Urban Farmer A vegetarian-turned-hunter reignites the connection between humans and their food sources and continues the dialogue begun by Michael Pollan and Barbara Kingsolver. As a boy, Tovar Cerulli spent his summers fishing for trout and hunting bullfrogs. While still in high school, he began to experiment with vegetarianism. By the age of twenty he was a vegan. A decade later, in the face of declining health, he returned to omnivory and within a few years found himself heading into the woods, rifle in hand. Through his personal quest, Cerulli bridges these disparate worldviews and questions moral certainties. Are fishing and hunting barbaric, murderous anachronisms? Or can they be respectful ways for humans to connect with nature (and their food)? How harmless is vegetarianism? Can hunters and vegetarians be motivated by similar values and instincts? In this time of intensifying concern over ecological degradation and animal welfare, how do we make peace with the fact that, even by growing organic vegetables, life is sustained by death? Drawing on personal experience, philosophy, history, and religion, Cerulli shows how America's overly sanitized habits of consumption have disconnected us from our food, resulting in many of the spiritual and environmental crises we now face.

[HEINE, Johann August].

Traite des Batiments Propres a Loger les Animaux, qui sont necessaires a l'economie rurale;...

Lepizig, Voss 1802. Folio (38x27cm) contemporary quarter calf and mottled boards (rebacked with the original spine preserved); xii,72pp and 50 engraved plates including the frontispiece - plans, elevations etc. Foxing, still a crisp copy.
¶ First edition - a German translation appeared a couple of years later - of this handsome, thorough, expert treatise on the architecture of animal husbandry. Heine wrote with an even hand on architecture and rural economy or, as here, both. The book begins with a plan and elevation for a house and estate and continues in sections: stables and all the other varied structures for horses; cows; pigs; sheep; birds, ducks and geese; bees; silkworms; and dogs. The bee and silkworm sections go well beyond architecture and could be self contained monographs on apiculture and sericulture. These are no rustic sheds. These are substantial and considered - quite severe - neo-classical buildings, any one of which would be desirable real estate now. I don't remember another farm building pattern book which insists on applying rules of proportion.
