Sommario/riassunto |
|
Humans have mixed emotions concerning carnivores. We admire them as beautiful hunters, cosset them as pets, and use their pelts and other products in clothing, medicines and cosmetics. However, they are also responsible for killing us and our livestock, carry disease and compete with us for space and food. While some advocate the conservation of |

predators such as wolves and tigers, others see them as vermin and want them gone. In this book, Hans Kruuk, a life-long naturalist with a passion for predators tells the fascinating story of carnivores and our intricate relationships with them. Illustrated with specially commissioned drawings, it deals with the wild beauty of carnivores and their conservation, but also with furs and medicine, man-eaters and sheep-killers, explaining in simple terms what the role of carnivores is in nature, how this impacts on human lives, our art and literature, how we instinctively respond to them and why. |

Sommario/riassunto |
|
Jamie's pretty much an average gay teenager. He's in the closet, has an unrequited secret crush on a fellow high school athlete, and an awful home life. It's a good thing he has his friend Billy to distract him and to show him that being out has its benefits. Billy is everything Jamie isn't: openly gay, wealthy enough to follow fashion trends, and with a social calendar full of dates with older men.Then Jamie's life spins into a downward spiral. Billy starts acting weird and hiding things from him. His stepfather's abusive behavior escalates until Jamie dreads going home. His English teacher assigns him to tutor the object of his affection, gorgeous track star Dylan. Jamie's not even sure he can talk to Dylan, let alone tutor him, and it's impossible to talk to Billy about it. Billy's too wrapped up in a dangerous game called bug chasing: trying to catch HIV. Billy's risky behavior nearly shatters their friendship and forces Jamie to look at the world in a whole new way. Can Jamie keep Billy safe, stay on top of homework and a new boyfriend, and convince his mom to give his stepdad the heave-ho? |
