A century ago, in the summer of 1914, a series of events set off an unprecedented global conflict that ultimately claimed the lives of more than 16 million people, dramatically redrew the maps of Europe, and set the stage for the 20th Century.
Thousands of animals provided comfort and support to servicemen during World War Two.
In the early twenty-first century animals are news. Parliamentary debates, protests against fox hunting and television programmes like Animal Hospital all focus on the way in which we treat animals and on what that says about our own humanity. As vegetarianism becomes ever more popular, and animal experimentation more controversial, it is time to trace the background to contemporary debates and to situate them in a broader historical context. Hilda Kean looks at the cultural and social role of animals from 1800 to the present at the way in which visual images and myths captured the popular imagination and encouraged sympathy for animals and outrage at their exploitation. From early campaigns against the beating of cattle and ill-treatment of horses to concern for dogs in war and cats in laboratories, she explores the relationship between popular images and public debate and action. She also illustrates how interest in animal rights and welfare was closely aligned with campaigns for political and social reform by feminists, radicals and socialists. 40 black & white illustrations

PayPal accepted, any questions please get in touch. * Signed copies are signed to title page. About Okinawa Anders Petersen shot the images in his photobook “Okinawa” in the year 2000, during a three-week long residence for the project “European Eyes on Japan.” Petersen concentrated his shooting on the streets of Naha City, documenting the people, the cats, the dogs either candidly or in posed portraits. Always on his mind was the gruel history Okinawa suffered during the Second World War. “When walking the streets of Naha it was clear. This shy and caring tenderness in the ordinary, most normal situations. And everywhere. Standing often in a small barroom in the middle of old Makishi Public Market and drinking cups of Awamori. Looking at the colorful life in front of me, exposed to the exposed ones. Immediately a beautiful 98-year old woman approached me with a smile. She asked me to take her picture.” — from Anders Petersen’s afterword Related Links So, more books by Anders Petersen you can find here. Also, for more books by T&M Projects click here.
