A compassionate, sweeping history of the transformation in American attitudes toward animals by the best-selling authors of Rabid Over just a few decades at the end of the nineteenth century, the United States underwent a moral revolution on behalf of animals. Before the Civil War, animals' suffering had rarely been discussed; horses pulling carriages and carts were routinely beaten in public view, and dogs were pitted against each other for entertainment and gambling. But in 1866, a group of activists began a dramatic campaign to change the nation’s laws and norms, and by the century’s end, most Americans had adopted a very different way of thinking and feeling about the animals in their midst. In Our Kindred Creatures, Bill Wasik, editorial director of The New York Times Magazine, and veterinarian Monica Murphy offer a fascinating history of this crusade and the battles it sparked in American life. On the side of reform were such leaders as George Angell, the inspirational head of Massachusetts’s animal-welfare society and the American publisher of the novel Black Beauty; Henry Bergh, founder of the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals; Caroline White of Philadelphia, who fought against medical experiments that used live animals; and many more, including some of the nation’s earliest veterinarians and conservationists. Caught in the movement’s crosshairs were transformational figures in their own right: animal impresarios such as P. T. Barnum, industrial meat barons such as Philip D. Armour, and the nation’s rising medical establishment, all of whom put forward their own, very different sets of modern norms about how animals should be treated. In recounting this remarkable period of moral transition—which, by the turn of the twentieth century, would give birth to the attitudes we hold toward animals today—Wasik and Murphy challenge us to consider the obligations we still have to all our kindred creatures.

This book was released on 2013-06-25. Rabid available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The most fatal virus known to science, rabies-a disease that spreads avidly from animals to humans-kills nearly one hundred percent of its victims once the infection takes root in the brain. In this critically acclaimed exploration, journalist Bill Wasik and veterinarian Monica Murphy chart four thousand years of the history, science, and cultural mythology of rabies. From Greek myths to zombie flicks, from the laboratory heroics of Louis Pasteur to the contemporary search for a lifesaving treatment, Rabid is a fresh and often wildly entertaining look at one of humankind's oldest and most fearsome foes. "A searing narrative." -The New York Times "In this keen and exceptionally well-written book, rife with surprises, narrative suspense and a steady flow of expansive insights, 'the world's most diabolical virus' conquers the unsuspecting reader's imaginative nervous system. . . . A smart, unsettling, and strangely stirring piece of work." -San Francisco Chronicle "Fascinating. . . . Wasik and Murphy chronicle more than two millennia of myths and discoveries about rabies and the animals that transmit it, including dogs, bats and raccoons." -The Wall Street Journal

The Beasts of Daniel and Revelation Explained That Are Already Nine-Tenths Here available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. It gives the locations of the ten seats of power of the beast with ten rulers having horns and ten crowns that have not received their kingdoms yet. It explains the women setting on the beast arrayed in purple and scarlet. Purple representing political-military rulers and red representing religious rulers. It explains the five major locations depicted by the animal beast in Revelation. It explains the awesome man in Daniel is an ingenious depiction with one foot having five toes representing future political-military rulers and the other foot having five toes representing religious rulers. The iron and clay toes of the awesome man represent two different types of kingdoms of different persuasions. It gives the locations of the three established rulers the Antichrist will uproot. It explains the beast with two horns like a lamb is a false christ that is both a religious ruler and a political-military ruler. It warns against the blasphemous little book the Antichrist will write during the Great Tribulation. It discusses the great multitude in heaven and the Greek grammar of "These are the ones coming out of the Great Tribulation." It integrates much of Daniel, Zechariah, and Revelation that pertains to the time of the Great Tribulation. It explains that the beast already opposing Jesus as the Lamb of God is a fulfillment of Rev. 17:13-14. It explains the situation today based on Rev. 17:8c, "The beast that was, and is not, and yet is" the establishment of modern Israel as a nation, and since then the formation of the European Union, the return of a pre-Christian Greek type culture in the west, and the rise of Iran as a world power.
