In this classic memoir, a young man facing a future he doesn't want
to claim has an inspiration--Go West. Tom Groneberg leaves behind
friends and family, follows his heart, and heads to a resort town
in the Colorado Rockies, where he earns his spurs as a wrangler
leading tourists on horseback. Later, Groneberg moves to Montana,
where he works for wages at a number of ranches before buying his
own ranch. Demystifying the image of cowboys as celluloid heroes,
The Secret Life of Cowboys is a coming-of-age story as stunning as
the land itself and a revealing look at America's last frontier.

The main theme of this year's congress is 'Animal lives worth
living'. This theme focuses on our responsibility for all animals
kept or influenced by humans, to ensure that we can provide a life
for them that takes into account all relevant aspects of animal
welfare, aided by applied ethology as the key scientific
discipline. This not only means avoiding and alleviating suffering
but also promoting resilience and positive experiences. By
monitoring and interpreting animal behaviour, we gain important
insights into each of these aspects of quality of life.
