Animal Suffering and Public Relations The Ethics of Persuasion in the Animal-Industrial Complex

Animal Suffering and Public Relations The Ethics of Persuasion in the Animal-Industrial Complex

Animal Suffering and Public Relations conducts an ethical assessment of public relations mainly persuasive communication and lobbying as deployed by some of the main businesses involved in the animal-industrial complex—the industries participating in the systematic and institutionalised exploitation of animals. Society has been experiencing a growing ethical concern regarding humans’ (ab)use of other animals. This is a trend first promoted by the development of animal ethics—which claims any sentient being because of sentience deserves moral consideration—and more recently by other approaches from the social sciences including critical animal studies. In this volume we aim to start an entirely unaddressed discussion within the field of public relations: The need to problematise the ethics of persuasion when nonhuman animal suffering is involved particularly the impact of persuasion and lobbying on compassion towards other animals in the cases of food experimentation entertainment and environmental management. This book provides an interdisciplinary theoretical discussion illustrated with international case studies from experts in strategic communication public relations lobbying and advocacy animal ethics philosophy of law political philosophy and social psychology. This unique book merges the fields of critical public relations animal ethics and critical animal studies and will be of direct appeal to a wide range of researchers academics and doctoral students across related fields. | Animal Suffering and Public Relations The Ethics of Persuasion in the Animal-Industrial Complex

The Geographical Guide of Ptolemy of Alexandria An Analysis

The Geographical Guide of Ptolemy of Alexandria An Analysis

This volume offers a detailed study of Ptolemy of Alexandria’s Geographical Guide whose eight books contain a wealth of geographical information unavailable elsewhere and represent the culmination of the Greco-Roman discipline of geography. Written near the middle of the second century ad the Geographical Guide is the most anomalous of the surviving works of ancient geographical scholarship but offers a vivid record of the expansion of geographical knowledge in antiquity. Roller examines this peculiar text which offers unique data about explorations in the far reaches of the inhabited world from Thoule and Hibernia in the northwest to Kattigara in the southeast and from Serike in northeastern Asia southwest into central Africa. He positions the Guide within the tradition of ancient geography and gives close attention to the reason why Ptolemy wrote the guide and how it contributes to the genre of geographical scholarship. There is also an emphasis on the topographic and ethnic material within the Guide that is new or unique especially explorations in sub-Saharan Africa and knowledge of the world beyond India. Because the Guide was written over half a century after the previous extant geographical work—the first books of Pliny’s Natural History—the book also assesses how knowledge of geography changed during this period. This work is an essential text for students and scholars of ancient geography and is also of interest to anyone working on the cultural history of the Roman Empire during this period. | The Geographical Guide of Ptolemy of Alexandria An Analysis
