Another Worlds best Spot-the-difference Photobook for HARDCORE VEGANS


Book Description

We just couldn't get enough of it - so here's the second book with even more photo search puzzles with animal meat, fat and skin. Look for the 5 mistakes in the "delicate photos" - it's fun and maybe it will come back... THE DESIRE FOR MEAT! It's a really crazy gift book, a fault-finding book for meat lovers, but also to poke fun at vegetarians and vegans. Anyone who manages, as a hardcore vegan or hardcore vegetarian, to solve these incredibly "meaty" picture search puzzles with the hidden 5 mistakes, deserves respect from carnivores too. Not necessarily because the mistakes are so hard to find, but mainly because they are particularly bloody images from slaughterhouses or butcher shops! THE REACTIONS TO THESE SLAUGHTERHOUSE PICTURE HUNT PUZZLES ARE INCREDIBLE ;-)) One thing I can guarantee about this book - it leaves no one cold. Every vegetarian, vegan or frugan should not miss the details of your hatred and calmly take a closer look at MEAT and compare two "almost" identical photos down to the smallest detail? There has never been a crazier book! Try to fathom the "beauty" of slaughter cattle. The aesthetics of chops, pork ribs or calves' heads. Do it privately and don't be ashamed if your mouth starts to water because of the pleasures you miss out on as a vegetable eater. Be brave, even if the sight hurts, bite through it ;-) --- Wir konnten einfach nicht genug davon bekommen - daher hier das zweite Buch mit noch mehr Foto-Suchrätseln mit tierischem Fleisch, Fett und Haut. Suchen Sie die 5 Fehler in den "delikaten Fotos" - es macht Spaß und vielleicht kommt sie zurück... DIE LUST AUF FLEISCH! Es ist ein echt verrücktes Geschenkbuch, ein Fehlersuchbuch für Fleischliebhaber, aber auch, um Vegetarier und Veganer zu verarschen. DIE REAKTIONEN AUF DIESE SCHLACHTHAUS-BILDSUCHERÄTSEL SIND UNGLAUBLICH ;-)) Für eines kann ich bei diesem Buch garantieren - es lässt niemanden kalt. Ein verrückteres Buch hat es nie gegeben! Versuchen Sie die "Schönheit" von Schlachtvieh zu ergründen. Die Ästhetik von Koteletts, Schweinsrippen oder Kalbsköpfen. Tun Sie es ganz privat und schämen Sie sich nicht, wenn Ihnen doch einmal der Speichel im Mund zusammenrinnt - ob der Genüsse die einem als Gemüsefresser entgehen. Nur Mut, auch wenn der Anblick weh tut, beißen Sie sich durch ;-)




This Isn't Happening


Book Description

THE MAKING AND MEANING OF RADIOHEAD'S GROUNDBREAKING, CONTROVERSIAL, EPOCHDEFINING ALBUM, KID A. In 1999, as the end of an old century loomed, five musicians entered a recording studio in Paris without a deadline. Their band was widely recognized as the best and most forward-thinking in rock, a rarefied status granting them the time, money, and space to make a masterpiece. But Radiohead didn't want to make another rock record. Instead, they set out to create the future. For more than a year, they battled writer's block, intra-band disagreements, and crippling self-doubt. In the end, however, they produced an album that was not only a complete departure from their prior guitar-based rock sound, it was the sound of a new era-and it embodied widespread changes catalyzed by emerging technologies just beginning to take hold of the culture. What they created was Kid A. Upon its release in 2000, Radiohead's fourth album divided critics. Some called it an instant classic; others, such as the UK music magazine Melody Maker, deemed it "tubby, ostentatious, self-congratulatory... whiny old rubbish." But two decades later, Kid A sounds like nothing less than an overture for the chaos and confusion of the twenty-first century. Acclaimed rock critic Steven Hyden digs deep into the songs, history, legacy, and mystique of Kid A, outlining the album's pervasive influence and impact on culture in time for its twentieth anniversary in 2020. Deploying a mix of criticism, journalism, and personal memoir, Hyden skillfully revisits this enigmatic, alluring LP and investigates the many ways in which Kid A shaped and foreshadowed our world.

Assassination Vacation


Book Description

New York Times bestselling author of The Wordy Shipmates and contributor to NPR’s This American Life Sarah Vowell embarks on a road trip to sites of political violence, from Washington DC to Alaska, to better understand our nation’s ever-evolving political system and history. Sarah Vowell exposes the glorious conundrums of American history and culture with wit, probity, and an irreverent sense of humor. With Assassination Vacation, she takes us on a road trip like no other—a journey to the pit stops of American political murder and through the myriad ways they have been used for fun and profit, for political and cultural advantage. From Buffalo to Alaska, Washington to the Dry Tortugas, Vowell visits locations immortalized and influenced by the spilling of politically important blood, reporting as she goes with her trademark blend of wisecracking humor, remarkable honesty, and thought-provoking criticism. We learn about the jinx that was Robert Todd Lincoln (present at the assassinations of Presidents Lincoln, Garfield, and McKinley) and witness the politicking that went into the making of the Lincoln Memorial. The resulting narrative is much more than an entertaining and informative travelogue—it is the disturbing and fascinating story of how American death has been manipulated by popular culture, including literature, architecture, sculpture, and—the author’s favorite—historical tourism. Though the themes of loss and violence are explored and we make detours to see how the Republican Party became the Republican Party, there are all kinds of lighter diversions along the way into the lives of the three presidents and their assassins, including mummies, show tunes, mean-spirited totem poles, and a nineteenth-century biblical sex cult.

He chain-smoked cigarettes, popped pills, and was angry and depressed. But when he discovered that his mother kept a record of almost every detail of his childhood, an idea began to form.

By harnessing the story of his life, could he learn to harness his own bad habits? With a little tech know-how combined with a healthy dose of reality, every app, sensor, and data point in Dancy's life was turned upside down and examined. Now he's sharing what he knows.

A modern-day story of rebirth and redemption, Chris' wisdom and insight will show readers how to improve their lives by paying attention to the relationship between how we move, what we eat, who we spend time with, and how it all makes us feel.

Anarchism and Animal Liberation


Book Description

Building upon anarchist critiques of racism, sexism, ableism and classism, this collection of new essays melds anarchism with animal advocacy in arguing that speciesism is an ideological and social norm rooted in hierarchy and inequality. Rising from the anarchist-influenced Occupy Movement, this book brings together international scholars and activists who challenge us all to look more critically into the causes of speciesism and to take a broader view of peace, social justice and the nature of oppression. Animal advocates have long argued that speciesism will end if the humanity adopts a vegan ethic. This concept is developed into the argument that the vegan ethic has the most promise if it is also anti-capitalist and against all forms of domination.
