About this deal

I loved and hated the characters in equal measure, laughed and recoiled in shock at the anecdotal stories (some very familiar, some not). I appreciate that it doesn’t glamorize the heavy partying but also doesn’t turn itself into trauma porn, even though things sometimes get extremely crazy and grim. Some of Aristotle's observations were not taken seriously by science until they were independently rediscovered in the 19th century. Winner of the 2020 Oscar's Book Prize and from the award-winning creator of The Storm Whale and Granddad's Island, Tad is the perfect story for everyone who's ever grown up, or still has a way to go.

It is a friend who never deceives or flatters you, and it is a companion who does not grow tired of you. The narrator is spouting inanities at the reader and self-consciously thinking how Meaningful they are. The idea of having two thirty something year old women who are on the cusp of being too old to party and not know hot to cope with this is really interesting too - it's a theme which is rarely explored. His approach pulls no punches, but it is thoughtful and broad-ranging – and ultimately hopeful: rather than pressing a particular conclusion, he encourages his readers to develop their own ethical framework for considering the consequences of their actions. Abu Othman Amr bin Bahr (776 – 868), generally known by his nickname Al-Jahiz, which means ‘goggle eyed”, was an Arab scholar of African descent who lived in the 8th and 9th centuries in modern day Iraq.Perhaps in sixty years we’ll look back on Treated Like Animals as helping to initiate a new era of openness, transparency and citizen engagement in all forms of the exploitation of animals. With simple, bite-sized chunks of text accompanied by vivid illustrations and photographs, Usborne’s Beginners series is specially designed for children beginning to read on their own.

Pull a tab to spot prey through the eyes of an eagle, turn the page for a 3-D look inside a wolf’s mouth, or rotate a wheel to see the life cycle of a butterfly. Understanding the inconsistencies in our attitudes, in the law and in what is deemed acceptable practice is an important first step. The comparative anatomist Richard Owen said in 1837 that "Zoological Science sprang from [Aristotle's] labours, we may almost say, like Minerva from the Head of Jove, in a state of noble and splendid maturity".Alick Simmons has written an engrossing and hugely important book taking us into the moral maze surrounding the human exploitation of animals.
