Wanceulen Editorial Yo, Orco: Viaje al corazón de un perro potencialmente peligroso
Book SynopsisMe emociona comprobar cómo, cuarenta años después de la desaparición de mi padre, aun se le recuerda, pero, sobre todo, como su legado ayudó a cientos de miles de personas a mirar con otros ojos a la naturaleza y los animales.Un claro ejemplo de ello lo encontramos en Ricardo. Su libro es una oda a la empatía, a desterrar prejuicios y a la defensa de los que no tienen voz. Como bien dice el autor del libro, el animal y sobre todo aquellos que domesticamos, son un reflejo del trato han recibido y del carácter de sus dueños. En el caso de los PPP, podemos aseverar que pesa más el entorno y la educación del animal que su genética. Este libro es fruto de una mirada profunda y enriquecedora y de un compromiso con contribuir a elevar el nivel cultural de la sociedad. Te agradezco, Ricardo, que des continuidad a los valores que ejemplificó mi padre, aportando tu granito de arena a ensalzar lo mejor de nuestra especie. Odile Rodríguez De La Fuente Autora Del Libro: "FÉLIX, Un Hombre En La Tierra" "Yo Orco, viaje al corazón de un Perro Potencialmente Peligroso", es un trepidante viaje desde el miedo irracional que yo les tenía a estas razas y desde el amor incondicional que siento por Orco. Aprenderéis a ver a estos perros, lejos de las imágenes a que nos tiene acostumbrados la prensa sensacionalista, siempre enfocadas a la agresividad, que les señala y estigmatiza. Quiero que conozcáis la realidad de estas razas, su sociabilidad y perfecta integración en familia, la imagen que la sociedad no conoce y debe saber. Intento cambiar el concepto social, que mira a esos perros como "asesinos", nada más lejos de la realidad. También es un homenaje a mi hermano Orco, y que a través de mi experiencia conozcáis mejor la realidad del maravilloso carácter de estas razas. Hasta siempre Señor Orco!!! Ricardo Díez Sanchís

Book Synopsis'When I play with my cat, who knows if I am not a pastime to her more than she is to me?' - Michel de Montaigne. Why do we live with pets? Is there something more to our relationship with them than simply companionship? What is it we look for in our pets and what does this say about us as human beings? In this fascinating book, Erica Fudge explores the nature of this most complex of relationships and the difficulties of knowing what it is that one is living with when one chooses to share a home with an animal. Fudge argues that our capacity for compassion and ability to live alongside others is evident in our relationships with our pets, those paradoxical creatures who give us a sense of comfort and security while simultaneously troubling the categories human and animal. For what is a pet if it isn't a fully-fledged member of the human family? This book proposes that by crossing over these boundaries pets help construct who it is we think we are. Drawing on the works of modern writers, such as J. M. Coetzee, Elizabeth Marshall Thomas and Jacques Derrida, Fudge shows how pets have been used to think with and to undermine our easy conceptions of human, animal and home. Indeed, "Pets" shows our obsession with domestic animals that reveals many of the paradoxes, contra - dictions and ambiguities of life. Living with pets provides thought-provoking perspectives on our notions of possession and mastery, mutuality and cohabitation, love and dominance. We might think of pets as simply happy, loved additions to human homes but as this captivating book reveals perhaps it is the pets that make the home and without pets perhaps we might not be the humans we think we are. For anyone who has ever wondered, like Montaigne, what their cat is thinking, it will be illuminating reading.Table of Contents1. Introduction 2. Living with pets 3. Thinking with pets 4.
