If I were an alpaca, I would want to live on the author's farm. Ingrid Wood writes with respect and compassion about the animals that inhabitStormwind Farm. It is refreshing to read an honest and insightful chronicle of daily farm life. A worthwhile read.

If you are new to the world of alpacas, or are seriously considering becoming a breeder, this is the perfect book-kept beside your bed or in yourtote/briefcase-to read as free moments present themselves. It will be time well spent.

"The Alpacas of Stormwind Farm"is a delightful read, and I highly recommend it to folks who have a warm spot in their hearts for the trials and tribulations-and great rewards-of thesmall farm. I feel like I know each alpaca, personally. It's been my pleasure to visit Ingrid and her animals. Stormwind Farm offers a lovelylandscape of efficiency and a sense of well-being for humans, alpacas, and other resident creatures.

Screening the Nonhuman draws connections between how animals represented on screen translate into reality. In doing so, the book demonstrates that consuming media is not a neutral act but rather a political one. The images humans consume have real world consequences for how animals are treated as actors, as pets, and in nature. The contributors propose that altering the representations of animals can change the way humans relate to non/humans. Our hope is for humans to generate more ethical relationships with non/humans, ultimately mediating reality both in terms of fiction and non-fiction. To achieve this end, film, television, advertisements, and social media are analyzed through an intersectional lens. But the book doesn't stop here. Each author creates counter-representational strategies that promise to unweave the assumptions that have led to the mistreatment of humans and non/humans alike.

This book is "co-authored" by eighteen dogs, all of whom have lived with the author at one time or another. The dogs lend a unique perspective into their behaviors, adventures, illnesses, accidents and humorus episodes. Animal lovers will appreciate their mindset.
