Animal Welfare in Australia

Politics and Policy

By: Peter John Chen

The issue of animal welfare has attracted much attention in Australia in recent decades. Activists and welfare organisations have become increasingly vigorous in promoting a new ethical relationship between humans and animals, and in challenging practices they identify as inhumane. In 2011 this agitation culminated in the temporary suspension of cattle live exports, with significant economic and political implications for Australia. Similar campaigns have focused on domestic food production systems and the use of animals in entertainment. Yet despite this increased interest, the policy process remains poorly understood. Animal Welfare in Australia is the first Australian book to examine the topic in a systematic manner. Without taking a specific ethical position, Chen draws on a wide range of sources – including activists, industry representatives and policy makers – to explain how policy is made and implemented. He explores the history of animal welfare in Australia, examines public opinion and media coverage of key issues, and comprehensively maps the policy domain. He shows how diverse social, ethical and economic interests interact to produce a complex and unpredictable climate. Animal Welfare in Australia will be of interest to scholars and practitioners of public policy, those interested in issues of animal welfare, and anyone wishing to understand how competing interests interact in the contemporary Australian policy landscape.

Where There’s a Will, There’s a Way

By: Peter Farwell

This book tells the stories of the entrepreneurs whose imaginations, curiosity, drive, and dogged determination made the personal computer one of the most popular devices ever known. Their efforts put the PC squarely at the center of the digital revolution that continues to push and pull us toward places we’d never envisioned. Peter Farwell, the author of multiple books focusing on technology and an early purcahaser of an Apple II, explains how he came to know these entrepreneurs, and explores how the revolution impacts everything we do: how we study and learn, how we work, how we deal with data, how we write, how we communicate, how we make and build relationships, and even how we play games. He focuses on technology titans who advanced PC technology, including where they came from, their training, and their remarkable contributions. To make the book easy to read, technical details, such as the several internet protocols, have been placed in appendices. Improve your understanding of how the digital technology revolution is changing every aspect of our lives and find out how to use it to your advantage with the insights in Where There’s a Will, There’s a Way.

Chinese Modern

Episodes Backward and Forward in Time

By: Peter G. Rowe

Rowe’s third volume on the architecture of the Far East deals with the development of modern architecture and planning in China, with a focus on this development within the broader framework of nation-building. Episodes and periods interrogated in the book range from the fall of the Qing Dynasty in 1912 to the proclamation of Xi Jinping’s ‘China Dream’ 100 years later. Episodes will be foregrounded by commentary about the general states of the nation and particularly by urban planning undertakings. Providing a wide-ranging survey of Chinese modern architecture that has a historic aspect to it, the book introduces the reader to a plethora of originative and influential buildings, momentous urban schemes as well as the architects and planners behind them.
