Jenny Gray

Zoo Ethics examines the workings of modern zoos and considers the core ethical challenges faced by people who choose to hold and display animals in zoos, aquariums, or sanctuaries. Jenny Gray asserts the value of animal life and assesses the impacts of modern zoos, including the costs to animals in terms of welfare and the loss of liberty. Gray highlights contemporary events, including the killing of the gorilla Harambe at the Cincinnati Zoo in May 2016, the widely publicized culling of a young giraffe in the Copenhagen Zoo in 2014, and the investigation of the Tiger Temple in western Thailand. Gray describes the positive welfare and health outcomes of many animals held in zoos, the increased attention and protection for their species in the wild, and the enjoyment and education of the people who visit zoos. Zoo Ethics will empower students of animal ethics and veterinary sciences, zoo and aquarium professionals, and interested zoo visitors to have an informed view of the challenges of compassionate conservation and to develop their own ethical positions.

Revision with unchanged content. This research began in conversations I had with women, diagnosed with a mental illness, whilst employed as a social work practitioner at a women's health centre. The problematics of having been given a psychiatric classification prompted the phrase 'living with a label', which became the focus of our co-operative inquiry. Psychiatric diagnoses are determined and delivered through the discourses of biomedicine. The women I researched with, loosely connected as mental health service recipients, had often been positioned as 'subject' to an objective biomedical gaze. Through a process of exploration and discovery this project was designed to generate under-standings that could be useful to the women who participated. Not only is there a gap in the mental health knowledge continuum, but the need for such insights are made doubly pertinent at the beginning of the twenty first century as diagnostic trends suggest that morbidity rates will continue to increase. Our experience of researching together, and allowing the 'researched' room to know and act, produced possibilities, and also created conundrums, all of which were celebrated. This book will be particularly relevant for feminist researchers and mental health practitioners.

Primary school children are required to learn about Christianity and local churches are often keen to help, but don't know where to start. This book provides a four-year cycle of resources that churches can offer to children at Key Stage Two (years 3 to 6, ages 7 to 11). The tried-and-tested workshop material covers Christmas, Easter and stories about Jesus and includes all you need to know to run sessions in your local church.
