    "Based on the analytical framework of Pulitzer Prize winning author Ernest Becker, Controlling Animals makes use of the notion of the heroic ideal to expose dysfunctional attempts at immortality through the interpretation of three works of fiction. Herein, this work will demonstrate to readers the flawed pursuit of attempting to avert death through the subjugation of animals. This pursuit is often orchestrated under the guise of the biblical concept of dominion from the Book of Genesis. In short, readers will gain a deeper understanding of the inextricable bond to the natural world and the fragile and tenuous existence in which humans live. The text also underscores the impending need by humans to make meaningful choices that are useful to the world while maintaining respect and deference to their animal co-inhabitants"--

    "The book presents a re-reading of H. G. Wells' novel "The Island of Doctor Moreau" as a key to addressing the controversies of our own humanity. It raises the issue: without human exceptionalism, where do ethics come from?"-- "In this interdisciplinary work, author Ron Edwards offers an innovative rereading of H. G. Wells' "The Island of Dr. Moreau." Edwards utilizes his twenty-five years in biology and the ethics of animal research to examine the bioethical implications of Wells' work and its relevance to contemporary scientific and philosophical discussions. He tackles the myth of human exceptionalism, the notion that we are fundamentally different from the rest of the animal kingdom. We must view ourselves, he argues, not as from animals, but as animals. The approachable tone is suitable for a wide audience of the scientifically curious. At the same time, great care is given to providing an accurate and considered treatment of the technical aspects of the novel, including the scientific plausibility of Dr. Moreau's experiment. Never before have Wells' ideas been examined in such detail by an evolutionary biologist with the author's considerable experience. The implications are far-reaching, touching on key topics in animal rights, evolution, and the relationship between religion and science. Its approachability and dedication to technical accuracy produces a unique perspective on Wells' classic. Anyone with an interest in confronting some of the central issues of human existence through the lens of fiction will be rewarded with an original and thought-provoking work.
