Documentary about the work of photojournalist Jo-Anne McArthur, who has traveled the world photographing animals held in conditions of cruelty, captivity and, occasionally, kindness. Directed by Liz Marshall.

With a strong emphasis on Simone Weil’s conception of vulnerability as a “mark of existence," this book reimagines a poetics that begins with the vulnerability of bodies, rather than the omnipotence of thought. Turning to literature, film and other cultural texts, Pick proposes a "creaturely" approach based on the shared embodiedness of humans and animals, rather than the more familiar human inventory of consciousness, language, morality, and dignity. 

An exploration of images brought to bear in defense of animals during the early history of advocacy on their behalf. Includes a discussion of the reasons for, the methods used in, and the impact of, this visual approach to advocacy.

This book is suggested as representative of the body of work, encompassing many works of art recorded in numerous books, by this prominent political artist, who can be considered one of the most important chroniclers of what humans do to animals in current times. Her view is unsparing, scathing and indispensable to understanding the world that animals inhabit. With an introduction by Alexander Cockburn.

A selection of annotated photographs from the extensive collection of a photojournalist, taken over many years, that exposes and illuminates the way animals live and die amongst humans, including animals used for food, fashion, entertainment, research and those who have been rescued to live out the rest of their lives in sanctuaries.
