While philosophers have been interested in animals since ancient
times, in the last few decades the subject of animal minds has
emerged as a major topic in philosophy. The Routledge Handbook of
Philosophy of Animal Minds is an outstanding reference source to
the key topics, problems, and debates in this exciting subject and
is the first collection of its kind. Comprising nearly fifty
chapters by a team of international contributors, the Handbook is
divided into eight parts: Mental representation Reasoning and
metacognition Consciousness Mindreading Communication Social
cognition and culture Association, simplicity, and modeling Ethics.
Within these sections, central issues, debates, and problems are
examined, including: whether and how animals represent and reason
about the world; how animal cognition differs from human cognition;
whether animals are conscious; whether animals represent their own
mental states or those of others; how animals communicate; the
extent to which animals have cultures; how to choose among
competing models and explanations of animal behavior; and whether
animals are moral agents and/or moral patients. The Routledge
Handbook of Philosophy of Animal Minds is essential reading for
students and researchers in philosophy of mind, philosophy of
psychology, ethics, and related disciplines such as ethology,
biology, psychology, linguistics, and anthropology.

Another instalment of the widely successful 'found footage' horror
franchise. This time, we follow a young Latin American, Jessie
(Andrew Jacobs), who begins experiencing a number of disturbing and
unexplainable things after the death of his neighbour. Quick to
investigate, it isn't long before Jessie finds he's been marked for
possession by a malevolent demonic entity, and it's only a matter
of time before he is completely under its control...
Many people have asked me why I've written this book. The reason is
simple. Although I have lived around diabetes since I was seven
years old, even though several of my friends and neighbours were
diagnosed with the condition years ahead of my own recent
diagnosis, it wasn't until I was diagnosed that I truly realised
the terrifying level of apathy and denial there is about diabetes,
the minefield of misinformation that is out there, nor how enormous
the spread of this global pandemic has become. There are countless
books and theories and claims and counterclaims about diabetes, and
in no way is this modest little publication designed to be the
ultimate authority on the disease - far from it. No, my reason for
doing this is to make you laugh, make you think, wake you up and
show you both how easy and how important it is that you take
responsibility and take it seriously... NOW. My father was a
pharmaceutical chemist, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Health
(London), chairman of an international pharmaceutical company...
and a diabetic. He was diagnosed with Type Two diabetes when he was
36 years old, slim bordering on skinny, active and otherwise
healthy. His career began in medical research and ultimately took
him all over the world from the darkest corners of West Africa to
the most fashionable quarters of Paris and the Caribbean. In the
process he met some of the finest medical minds on the planet (many
of whom are still my personal friends) and he witnessed some
horrors that defy belief... and he did all this as a diabetic.
Open, raw, honest, at times funny, at times poignant, at times
unapologetically confrontational, this book is designed to inspire,
assist and guide you - particularly if you are pre-diabetic, newly
diagnosed with diabetes Type Two, or if you are a friend or family
member of a diabetic. All facts and statistics in this book have
sources from the official authorities on diabetes... my irreverent
language and tone have not * Enjoy * Be inspired * Take action
