  • FINAL REPORT ICA PROJECT NO. 223 the BIOLOGICAL IMPORTANCE of COPPER a Literature Review June, 1993
    FINAL REPORT ICA PROJECT NO. 223 THE BIOLOGICAL IMPORTANCE OF COPPER A Literature Review June, 1993 The contractor who produced this report is an independent contractor and is not an agent of ICA. ICA makes no express or implied warranty with regard to the information contained in this report. ICA PROJECT 223 Preface In 1973 the International Copper Research Association Incorporated initiated a grant to review the literature dealing with the biological importance of copper in marine and estuarine environments. This was followed by a second review in 1978. It was then apparent that a very large number of publications concerning copper in the marine environment were appearing each year and that an annual review was appropriate. Reviews prior to 1984 considered copper only in marine and estuarine environments. However, events occurring on land and in freshwater were often mentioned because chemical and biological factors and processes pertinent to one environment could often be applied to the others. As a result, the review became larger, covering not only freshwater, saltwater and terrestrial environments but also agriculture and medicine. It was apparent from the literature that most of the general concepts about the importance and the effects of copper could be applied in all environments. This also meant that an understanding of the environmental chemistry of copper could be applied in medicine as well as agriculture, the marine environment as well as soils. The reviews pointed out the broad application of concepts about the biological importance as well as the environmental chemistry of copper. The present review includes literature for the period 1992-1993.

While ARVAs and ARVAism are the focus of this inquiry, the approaches, concepts and theories used are broadly applicable and therefore this investigation is potentially useful for any activist or group of activists wishing to interrogate and improve their persuasive practices.

STEVE: To start, just for those that aren’t aware of the term “carnism,” can we start with that? How do we define carnism? DR. JOY: Carnism is the invisible belief system that conditions us to eat certain animals. It’s essentially the opposite of veganism. I always like to explain it by explaining how we’re really socialized to believe that it’s only vegans and vegetarians who bring their beliefs to the dinner table.

Mulvihill MA in Book Publishing Thesis Spring 2017 Mulvihill 2 Abstract Though many of us have heard the mantra that we shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, marketers in book publishing bank on the fact that people do and will continue to buy and read books based not only on content, but its aesthetic appeal. This essay will examine the top four marketing trends that can be observed on the Amazon listings for books published on animal rights within the last ten years, specifically relating to titles, cover design, and the intended audience. From graphic adaptations of animals to traditional textbook approaches and animal photography, publishers are striving to evoke interest and investment in literature concerning a politically charged and inherently personal topic.

  • Download Checklist
    095: Eating with Awareness and Compassion rather than Unconscious Conditioning 10 Point Checklist Dr. Melanie Joy Want to gain as much knowledge as possible out of Get Yourself Optimized? Read on below for a 10 point checklist that gives the next, real steps you can take for introducing these insights and optimizing your life. © 2017 Stephan Spencer 10 STEPS YOU CAN TAKE TODAY Want to take charge of your health, wellness, and success? Here are 10 steps that can move you closer to your goals – today. Understand that I was born in a system (carnism) that conditions me to eat certain animals and that it is internalized, but it doesn’t have to be. Realize how carnism has a profound impact on the way I think and feel about animals, and things like abstraction or some animals lacking individuality may not be accurate. Understand that what I eat is a choice. Reduce my participation in carnism by eating less animal products. Humane products are a PR stunt. Eating and using less animal products will help reduce cruelty. Feel my natural connection and empathy to animals that is hardwired into all humans and recognize their individuality. Eat a whole foods, plant-based diet to provide my body with optimum health and to reduce cruelty to animals, humans, and the environment. Support vegan causes, even if I am not vegan, by contributing money or using my influence to share exposure and valuable information. Be a ‘vegan ally’ – positively support the cause and avoid making meat eaters feeling ashamed, helpless, or attached. The more people who support, the better world I live in.
