Sommario/riassunto

This book explores the economic institutions that determine the nature of animal lives as systematically exploited objects traded in a market economy. It examines human roles and choice in the system, including



the economic logic of agriculture, experimentation, and animal ownership, and analyses the marginalization of ethical action in the economic system. Animals and the Economy demonstrates that individual consumers and farmers are often left with few truly animal-friendly choices. Ethical participants in the economy must either face down an array of institutional barriers, or exit mainstream markets entirely. This book argues that these issues are not necessary elements of a market system, and evaluates a number of policy changes that could improve the lives of animals in the context of a market economy.

Sommario/riassunto

Robert Vandall's piano duets have been favorites of students and teachers for several years. Many have been chosen for contest and festival lists. Whether performed for studio recitals, contests, festivals, or concerts with multiple pianos on a stage, these duets appeal to performers and audiences alike. Diverse musical styles are represented in each book of this series-from beautiful melodies of lilting waltzes and lyrical ballads, to the rhythmic excitement of lively dances and ragtime. Both primo and secondo are skillfully crafted to be of equal difficulty and equal interest. Melodies are shared or passed between performers. These wonderful collections will motivate duet teams to continue making music together. Titles: Central Park Ride * Chanson *



Hiking Song * On Our Way * Pirouette * Village Dance. "Chanson" and "Pirouette" are Federation Festivals 2016-2020 selections.
