"I don't know why you're spending all your time on this. They re only animals for heaven's sake! That was the reaction of one of Andrew Linzey's fellow students at King s College, London, when he was studying theology in the 1970s. Since then, the now Rev. Dr. Andrew Linzey has been arguing that animals aren't only anything, but rather that they matter to God, and should do so to us.In this collection of essays, Linzey counters with his customary wit, erudition, and insight, some contemporary (and perhaps surprising) challenges to animal rights from ecotheologians, the Church, and politicians. He contends that far from the sometimes shallow judgments of those who think animals unworthy of theological consideration, the Christian tradition has a wellspring of sources and resources available to taking animals seriously. Instead of being marginal to the Christian experience, Linzey concludes, animals can take their rightful place alongside human beings as creatures of the same God.

A History of Uncertainty claims that among the diseases spread from animals to humans one of the greatest killers has been bovine tuberculosis, spread mainly through food and drink. It estimates at least 600,000 deaths from this cause between 1848 and 1960 in Great Britain, mainly due to infected milk and meat. It took that whole period to bring the disease under control in humans but the problem lingers in cattle. The uncertainties surrounding the veterinary science of tuberculosis and the difficulties of formulating effective public policy are the principal foci of the book. While current media interest is in the role of badgers and their control by culling, the book argues that the situation is far more complex than the headlines suggest and that it is likely to be decades before a resolution can be found

A critical edition of The Titan by Theodore Dreiser. Edited by Roark Mulligan. Informative historical notes and commentaries. Mulligan's choice of copy text is in itself exceptional: the 1914 copy proof, a version of the novel that, until this edition, was in a private collection, unknown to Dreiser scholars.
