Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. A groundbreaking meditation on our human-animal relationships and the moral code that binds it. Adam's Task, Vicki Hearne's innovative masterpiece on animal training, brings our perennial discussion of the human-animal bond to a whole new metaphysical level. Based on studies of literary criticism, philosophy, and extensive hands-on experience in training, Hearne asserts, in boldly anthropomorphic terms, that animals (at least those that interact more with humans) are far more intelligent than we assume. In fact, they are capable of developing an understanding of the good, a moral code that influences their motives and actions. Drawing on an eclectic range of influences--Nietzsche, T. S.

Hearne develops an entirely new system of animal training that contradicts modern animal behavioral research and that, as her examples show, is astonishingly effective. Widely praised, highly influential, and now with a new foreword by New York Times bestselling author Karen Joy Fowler, Adam's Task will make every trainer, animal psychologist, and animal-lover stop, think, and question.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. 1st Edition. ALFRED HITCHCOCK AND THE THREE INVESTIGATORS #27 - THE MYSTERY OF THE MAGIC CIRCLE by M. V. CAREY, illustrated by Jack Hearne, published by Random House, copyright 1978, First Printing (complete 1 - 9 0 numberline on copyright page), no references to Gibraltar Library Binding on rear cover, white endpapers, glossy boards. Book has no creased page corners, hint of dust soiling/age darkening to outer page edges (no foxing), no foxing to pages or endpapers, endpapers are generally clean and free from soiling or scotch tape marks, no tearing or splitting of page block from internal hinges (very very common defect with these early 3 investigator books - the glue on the page block is always separating from the boards - but not a problem with books #27 & #28 which finally used a single piece endpaper), no former owner's markings or used bookseller stamps/stickers inside (publisher's tiny remainder stamp to top left corner to ffe), no wear to board edges or board corners, hint of wear to spine tip corners only, no peeling to glossy covering, no spine sun fading, no soiling or staining to boards, no bumped board corners. Note: This book comes protected by a removable clear Brodart book cover (cover is not taped to book - it can be simply slipped off if desired) which prevents further rubbing/soiling damage to the outer boards. Any white marks/glare lines in the photo are simply glare from the flatbed scanner reacting to this Brodart cover (and are not actual defects with the book). Overall a FINE- book of a first hardcover printing Three Investigators book. I have a number of other hardcover and paperback Three Investigator books up for sale. Jack Hearne (illustrator).…
