Sinopsis

“Schott’s animated account moves at a fast clip, is full of colorful anecdotes, and will delight animal lovers of all stripes.” — Publishers Weekly, starred review
		 
Sharing the stories of 22 different animal healers and veterinarians from across eras and continents, Dr. Schott examines the always fascinating, often unexpected, and sometimes hilarious veterinary methods employed to treat all manner of creatures. From healing dogs and horses to gorillas and even dragons, at the heart lies the evolution of the human-animal bond, which has been more cyclical than linear.
		 
James Herriot will be familiar to many people, but most of the other featured vets will be new. They range from Palakapya, who treated fighting elephants in India almost 3,000 years ago, to Dr. Louis Camuti, who had the first feline house call practice anywhere, tending to the cats of celebrities in mid-twentieth century Manhattan
		Whether you have a passion for animals, the history of the medical sciences, or just quirky history, this light-hearted exploration of the empathetic relationship between man and beast will entertain and delight.

    ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
    "The Orphan Master's Son" by Adam Johnson is a novel that delves into the complex themes of identity and state control within a totalitarian regime. The narrative follows the journey of Jun Do, an orphan who becomes a series of different people through the demands of the state. He is forced to play roles, from a kidnapper to an intelligence officer, and ultimately, an imposter. The story also explores the work of an interrogator, whose job is to craft citizen biographies that support the government's ideology. The interrogator's own experiences are interwoven with the story, showing his gradual disillusionment with his work and the state. The book explores how individuals resist, survive, and are changed by a world where the truth is manipulated to serve those in power, and where personal stories are secondary to the state’s.

    Celia was only fourteen years old when she was acquired by John Newsom, an aging widower and one of the most prosperous and respected citizens of Callaway County, Missouri. The pattern of sexual abuse that would mark their entire relationship began almost immediately. After purchasing Celia in a neighboring county, Newsom raped her on the journey back to his farm. He then established her in a small cabin near his house and visited her regularly. Over the next five years, Celia bore Newsom two children; meanwhile, she became involved with a slave named George and resolved at his insistence to end the relationship with her master. When Newsom refused, Celia one night struck him fatally with a club and disposed of his body in her fireplace. 
     
     
     
    Her act quickly discovered, Celia was brought to trial. She received a surprisingly vigorous defense from her court-appointed attorneys. Nevertheless, the court upheld the tenets of a white social order that wielded almost total control over the lives of slaves. Celia was found guilty and hanged. 
     
     
     
    Melton A. McLaurin uses Celia's story to reveal the tensions that strained the fabric of antebellum southern society. Celia's case demonstrates how one master's abuse of power over a single slave forced whites to make moral decisions about the nature of slavery.
