She challenges the claim that empathy should be primary mode of engagement with nonhuman life. Instead, she looks at the stories that we tell, and are told, by insects--beings at the edges of animal life. The indifference, even disgust, that these creatures evoke in us forms the basis for a new ethics not limited by empathy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Danielle Sands\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474439039\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474439039\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/25\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.20w x 0.70d","brand":"Danielle Sands","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44201894248703,"sku":"9781474439039","price":140.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_84da100b-b0c5-4df7-a19b-66963b9455a6.jpg?v=1691492046","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/animal-writing-danielle-sands-9781474439039","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
