Summary:
Très critique de l’industrie agroalimentaire, mais aussi très perplexe devant les actions posées par les militants de la cause animale, Dominic Lamontagne a voulu engager un dialogue avec un militant végane afin d’approfondir les enjeux liés à l’alimentation et à l’avenir de notre agriculture. Sous forme d’échange épistolaire, il croise le fer avec Jean-François Dubé sur l’antispécisme et le véganisme autour de trois grands thèmes: l’éthique, la santé et l’environnement. Mais entre la paysannerie «omnicole» que défend Dominic et le véganisme éthique promu par Jean-François, les points de vue semblent irréconciliables. Si le repas entre les deux comparses est impossible, le débat, lui, est bien substantiel.

Summary:
In "Pig", Brett Mizelle provides a richly illustrated and compelling look at the long, complicated relationship between humans and these highly intelligent, sociable animals. Mizelle traces the natural and cultural history of the pig, focusing on the contradictions between our imaginative representation of pigs and the real-world truth of the ways in which pigs are prized for their meat, used as subjects in medical research, and killed in order to make hundreds of consumer products. "Pig" begins with the evolution of the suidae, animals that were domesticated in multiple regions 9,000 years ago, and points toward a future where pigs and humans are even more closely intertwined as a result of biomedical breakthroughs. "Pig" both examines the widespread art, entertainment, and literature that imagines human kinship with pigs and the development of modern industrial pork production.

Summary:
From the typical to the exclusive, an “A to Z” about honey, with accurate contents and a vivid layout, rich in practical suggestions and literary and historical quotations. 192 pages in which one can discover features and peculiarities of honey, with many recipes, curiosities and tasting ideas. A book dedicated to nomadic apiculture to approach honey’s passion and tradition from this particular point of view. Synonymous of concepts like “freedom” and “non-conformism”, “nomadism” always found deep roots in man’s history: from this starting point, “nomadic apiculture” expresses the aim of protecting and safeguarding honeys that come from rare blooms, sometimes difficult to reap, too. In a wider sense, it symbolizes the opportunity of drawing in a responsible way from nature’s resources.
