Ein poetisches Buch über die Akrobaten der LüfteMauersegler legen etwa 50¿000 Kilometer pro Jahr fliegend zurück, können im Flug schlafen, und wo sie sind, ist Sommer. Zwölf Monate lang folgt Charles Foster seinen Lieblingstieren. Er beobachtet in Mosambik, wie sie sich für den Flug gen Norden bereitmachen, verfolgt ihren Ritt auf dem Schirokko, der von der Sahara Richtung Mittelmeer fegt, und ihre Ankunft in Südeuropa. In England sieht er zu, wie die faszinierenden Vögel sesshaft werden und ihren Nachwuchs großziehen, um anschließend nach Afrika zurückzukehren. Eine herausragende Liebeserklärung, einfühlsam illustriert von Jonathan Pomroy.

Spannender Selbstversuch und faszinierende Zeitreise:»Überwältigend!« The ObserverCharles Foster, Abenteurer und Philosoph, lässt sich auf ein außergewöhnliches körperliches und gedankliches Experiment ein. Es führt ihn in drei wichtige Epochen der Menschwerdung: Er spürt als Nomade, in welch enger Verbindung unsere Vorfahren vor 40.000 Jahren mit dem Land und seinen Geschöpfen standen. Erlebt mit den ersten Siedlern, wie sie anfingen, Tiere zu zähmen, sich hinter Mauern und Zäunen abzuschotten ¿ und den eigenen Horizont immer enger zu ziehen. Und erkennt schließlich mit der Aufklärung, wie Mensch und Natur sich endgültig voneinander entfremdeten. Klug, mit Witz und leidenschaftlicher Hingabe sucht er Erfahrungen in Wäldern und Höhlen, Flechtwerkhütten und Schlachthöfen, mittelalterlichen Speisesälen und verlassenen Städten des Nahen Ostens ¿ und Antworten auf die Frage, was uns Menschen ausmacht.

Tier sein - ein radikaler Selbstversuch Was fühlt ein Tier, wie lebt es und wie nimmt es seine Umwelt wahr? Um das herauszufinden, tritt Charles Foster ein faszinierendes Experiment an. Er schlüpft in die Rolle von fünf verschiedenen Tierarten: Dachs, Otter, Fuchs, Rothirsch und Mauersegler. Er haust in einem Bau unter der Erde, schnappt mit den Zähnen nach Fischen in einem Fluss und durchstöbert Mülltonnen auf der Suche nach Nahrung. In die scharfsinnige, witzige Schilderung seiner skurrilen Erfahrungen lässt er wissenswerte Fakten einfließen - und letztlich geht es auch um eine philosophische Frage: Was bedeutet es, Mensch zu sein? »Ein Buch, wie ich noch keines zuvor gelesen habe - voller Weisheit und Empathie« Peter Wohlleben, Autor von »Das geheime Leben der Bäume« und »Das Seelenleben der Tiere« »A true walk on the wild side« The Guardian

It surveys a number of domains, including criminal law, tort law, contract law, family law, and medical law (particularly the realm of moral enhancement technologies) asking for each: (a) Does the existing law seek to promote personal morality?

The idea of the Good Life - of what constitutes human thriving, is, implicitly, the foundation and justification of the law. The law exists to hold societies together; to hold in tension the rights of individuals as against individuals, the rights of individuals as against various types of non-humans such as corporations (and vice versa), and the rights of individuals individuals as against the state (and vice versa). In democratic states, laws inhibit some freedoms in the name of greater, or more desirable freedoms. The only justification for law is surely that it tends to promote human thriving.But what is the Good Life? What does it mean to live a thriving life? There has been no want of discussion, at least since the great Athenians. But surprisingly, since human thriving is its sole raison d'etre, the law has been slow to contribute to the conversation.This book aims to start and facilitate this conversation.It aims to:-make lawyers ask: 'What is the law for?', and conclude that it is to maximise human thriving-make lawyers ask: 'But what does human thriving mean?'-make judges and advocates ask: 'How can a judgment about the best interests of a patient be satisfactory unless its basis is made clear?'

It contends that our welfare is inextricably entangled with that of others, and accordingly law and ethics, in determining our best interests, should recognise the central importance of relationality, the performance of obligations, and (even apparently injurious) altruism.
