    “Canada’s best-known voice of dissent.” — CBC
    		 
    “It’s time we listened to the Maude Barlows of the world.” — CNN
    		 
    In this timely book, Barlow counters the prevailing atmosphere of pessimism that surrounds us and offers lessons of hope that she has learned from a lifetime of activism. She has been a linchpin in three major movements in her life: second-wave feminism, the battle against free trade and globalization, and the global fight for water justice. From each of these she draws her lessons of hope, emphasizing that effective activism is not really about the goal, rather it is about building a movement and finding like-minded people to carry the load with you. Barlow knows firsthand how hard fighting for change can be. But she also knows that change does happen and that hope is the essential ingredient.

    The concept of canine consent is far more than simply a buzzword in modern dog training practices. In its current form, consent is a distinctly human concept, designed by humans and for humans. Looking beyond species boundaries can help us not only consider concepts of canine consent and autonomy, but it can also help us to apply these concepts in our everyday interactions with dogs, which is fundamental for any professional working with dogs as well as for everyday dog caregivers. This canine-indexed definition of consent includes a model of five major categories: Touch/interaction-based consent, cooperative care using learned consent behaviors, activity consent, consent-based learning, and substitutive consent. These categories involve a two-way communication system, integration of salient choices, teaching consent behaviors and incorporating existing training protocols that adhere to the Humane Hierarchy of best practices, and an evaluation of dependent decision-making in extenuating circumstances. This book aims to merge the existing literature and new understandings about canine consent to paint a complete picture. It will challenge the current expectations of dogs and dog behavior in our society with an intention of considering their perspectives, experiences, and emotional needs.

    Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is a multidisciplinary field that focuses on the design and use of computer technology, particularly the interfaces through which humans interact with computers. As technology has evolved, so too has the interaction between users and machines, and understanding this relationship is crucial for creating systems that are not only functional but also intuitive and user-friendly. At the heart of HCI is the goal of improving the interaction between users and computers to ensure usability, efficiency, and satisfaction. 
    The concept of HCI emerged as computing technology became more widely accessible and user-centric design became a necessity. Early computers were primarily operated by specialists, and the interface was often limited to text-based inputs and outputs. However, as computers evolved to serve a broader audience, the need for more sophisticated and user-friendly systems became clear. This led to the development of graphical user interfaces (GUIs), which are now commonplace in many computing environments, making interaction with technology more intuitive and visually engaging. 
    HCI as a field draws from various disciplines such as computer science, psychology, design, and ergonomics. The key principles in HCI are centered on understanding how users interact with technology, what their needs and preferences are, and how technology can be designed to meet those needs. At the same time, it focuses on the efficiency, effectiveness, and satisfaction that the interaction can provide. This involves studying human cognition, behavior, and the way people process information to ensure that systems are designed in ways that align with natural human capabilities.

    The most common way we come to know animals is usually by rote learning the specific features that certain kind of animals have according to a textbooks. We learn that they are mammals, birds or fish; but at school we rarely mention that they have a personality of their own and even less do we analyze whether we treat them well or badly. Have you ever wondered how animals actually feel?
    Have you thought about how they are treated in our society?
    The Voice of Animals promotes reflection through critical thinking on different issues related to animal ethics. By raising questions it paves the way to analyze the most common themes that emerge in adolescence regarding the lives of animals, both free and captive.

    From sheepdogs to wombats to coyotes to jellyfish, animals serve important biological roles in the world. But those who love animals know there's more. We know our connection to other creatures is more than fur, scale, or feather deep. 
     
     
     
    In Saints of Feather and Fang, writer and lifelong animal lover Caryn Rivadeneira looks at the ways that animals—from the pets who share our homes to the mysterious creatures of the deep—serve as spiritual guides for our hearts, minds, and souls. 
     
     
     
    Christian scripture teems with mammals, birds, and reptiles, and research on animals' sensory responses suggests that we not only care for our beloved animals but they, at times, care for us. A therapy pony who visits stroke victims, a rescued pit bull who shows restraint, hedgehogs that scurry down highways made just for them: these stories offer entrée to tender, whimsical, and deeply theological reflection on creaturely delight, instinct, curiosity, adaptation, fear, and awe. In them we discover and connect with the God who beckons, rescues, and shelters us with stretched-out wings.
