Some are huge, the deadliest creatures on earth. Some are tiny, among the strangest to be found anywhere. Together, they not only outnumber mammals or birds but in their colourful variety and extraordinary behaviour, they far surpass them. So where did these ancient creatures come from? How have they transformed themselves into the bizarre and beautiful forms that are alive today? And what's the secret of their epic success? In "Life in Cold Blood", David traces the story of their evolution and overturns the myth that these creatures are just primitive killers to reveal them for what they truly are. 2008.By Fulton J Sheen. 1958

adult encounters with the wild animals themselves. Why does the whale so vividly inhabit our imaginations? Is it a symbol of Edenic innocence in a time of threatened species and climate change? Or an older emblem of evil, the grotesque fish which swallowed Jonah?

ruse et l'intelligence. Comment continuer à les traiter comme des choses dont on se contenterait de condamner l'abus ? Mais faut-il pour autant leur accorder des droits, et si oui lesquels ? Et qui veillera à leur application ? Pour répondre à ces questions et à tant d'autres, Boris Cyrulnik l'éthologue, Élisabeth de Fontenay la philosophe, Peter Singer le bioéthicien croisent leurs regards et confrontent leurs savoirs sur la question animale. Trois sensibilités, trois parcours, trois formes d'engagement : la voie est tracée, au-delà des divergences et des contradictions, et en partie grâce à elles, pour que le législateur s'attelle à la rédaction du contrat qu'il nous faut maintenant passer sans délai avec nos frères en animalité, au nom de la dignité humaine.
