Frankenstein's Cat: Cuddling Up to Biotech's Brave New Beasts by Emily Anthes

bscheldt, April 13, 2013

This could be a very controversial book; whether you side with scientific research or with animal welfare; whether you think we should tinker with mother nature or whether we should exploit animals. Is this to find a way to better our lives or is it just for curiosity or entertainment? How far should we go in our manipulation of other living things, from dogs, cats and rats to fish, and even insects. This made me wonder what will our world be like in years to come. Very interesting!

This is the best book I've read in some time! After reading this book, it will be awhile before you say "I wish it were the weekend."

The Bond: Our Kinship with Animals, Our Call to Defend Them by Wayne Pacelle

bscheldt, April 3, 2012

It amazes me the abuses that humans can inflict upon animals; not only cats and dogs, but also baby seals, wild buffalo, wild horses and whales to name a few. Wayne Pacelle's book decribes the work that the Humane Society and other animal organizations have done to protect these animals to make them safe and some of the work still needing to be done. No matter how you feel about the Humane Society as an organization, the book speaks for the innocent beings that can not speak for themselves!

Defending Jacob by William Landay

bscheldt, February 14, 2012

I normally don't read "who done it" books, but this book was one of the best books I've read in some time! The last thing a parent would want to hear is that your child is suspected of murdering another child. This book is about the anguish a family goes through to prove their child's innocence. It is also about how well we know our family and ourselves. I highly recommend this book!

Among the Wonderful: A Novel by Stacy Carlson

bscheldt, January 27, 2012

This book was amazing. It's about the lives of the anomalies that work in P.T. Barnum's museum of oddities. What makes this book so interesting, first of all, today, Barnum would never get by with exploiting people the way he did. Secondly, this book shows that the giantess, the fat lady, the skeleton man, the conjoined twin, the bearded lady all had emotions and lives beyond the museum. You learn the feelings of these people that Barnum had on display for the world to pass by and view. I highly recommend this book!
