Presents a radical, but compelling, argument that liberal
democracies must be able accommodate violent protest. Examines case
studies to demonstrate that not only can violent protest be
acceptable; at times of grave injustice, it is unavoidable. This
book will appeal to a broad range of academics, in legal and
political theory, sociolegal studies, criminology, history and
philosophy, as well as others with interests in contemporary forms
of protest.
Growing up in Yorkshire and with farming blood in his genes, James
Greenwood always knew he would end up as a vet. Animals have been
part of James' life for as long as he can remember, from pulling
lambs on a hilltop farm as a child and having stick insects
crawling out of his school uniform in class, to renting a flat
behind a zoo in Jersey and finding himself treating a newborn baby
elephant as a newly qualified vet. Written with his trademark
warmth and humour, James offers a fascinating insight into the
world of veterinary medicine with tales of treating cats and dogs,
horses, pigs and cows, as well as delving deep into his
relationship with his beloved and much-missed, one-eyed Labrador,
Oliver. However, the path to realising his childhood ambition has
not always been easy and at times he has questioned whether it
truly is the best job in the world. Through all of the challenging
lows and extraordinary highs, it has been the animals themselves
that have spurred James on to want to continue vetting and helping
him find his calling as a GP vet. Warm, poignant and full of heart,
James' story is both a beautiful tribute to the role animals play
in our lives and a rare glimpse into what it's really like to be a
vet, and is perfect for fans of Matt Baker, The Yorkshire
Shepherdess and The Supervet.
