Description:
An entertaining and enlightening anthology of classical Greek and Roman writings on animals — and our vital relationships with them.
How to Care about Animals is a fascinating menagerie of passages from classical literature about animals and the lives we share with them. Drawing on ancient writers from Aesop to Ovid, classicist and farmer M. D. Usher has gathered a healthy litter of selections that reveal some of the ways Greeks and Romans thought about everything from lions, bears, and wolves to birds, octopuses, and snails — and that might inspire us to rethink our own relationships with our fellow creatures. Presented in lively new translations, with the original texts on facing pages, these pieces are filled with surprises — anticipating but also offering new perspectives on many of our current feelings and ideas about animals.
Here, Porphyry makes a compelling argument for vegetarianism and asserts that the just treatment of animals makes us better people; Pliny the Elder praises the virtuosity of songbirds and the virtuousness of elephants; Plutarch has one of Circe’s pigs from the Odyssey make a serio-comic case for the dignity of the beasts of the field; Aristotle puts the study of animals on par with anthropology; we read timeless Aesopian fables, including 'The Hen That Laid the Golden Egg' and 'The Fox and the Grapes'; and there is much, much more.
A Noah’s Ark of a book, How to Care about Animals is guaranteed to charm and inspire anyone who loves animals.

Effective!!
Color: Black, Color: Black
This caddy keeps my sink organized. It absorbs the water when I place my sponges on it and its super easy to keep clean. I squeeze as much waster as I can from the sponges so it doesn't wear out. I've had this a little under a year and it has held up exceptionally well.

Perfect for beside any sink even dorms
Color: Black
I bought this for my son for his dorm room for his sponge for washing dishes and for him to put his dish soap and his hand soap for everything that he could keep it all tidy because he’s actually quite organized and he actually really liked it and it looked very neat. It’s easy to clean. It wasn’t too big everything fit perfectly for the Myers hand soap, and dish soap. The color is neutral almost masculine is gray and black. And there is no issue of it falling because he kept it on a side table away from the sink so that nobody else would use it so it would be just his.
So It was altogether and kept everything organized. He really liked it.

Great Holder for the kitchen sink
Color: Black
The Sponge Holder is exactly as pictured. We use it to put our very sharp knives in so they are not in the sink when we go to fill the dishwasher.
