Slaughter-house
Basic Butchering of Livestock & Game
John J. Mettler
Storey Publishing, LLC
, 1986
Excellent book
Coming from a family of hunters, fisherman, as well as a family that has always grown much of their own food, be it a vegetable garden, or hens for eggs, angus for beef, the occasional pig, sheep, I firmly believe that women (I am one) should know as much about self ...
Slaughterhouse: The Shocking Story of Greed, Neglect, and Inhumane Treatment Inside the U.S. Meat Industry
Gail A. Eisnitz
Prometheus Books
, 2006
Confirming the gross-ness
This book just confirms the other reading I have done on the subject. Read it if you are ready to get the facts and stop ignoring what I like to refer to as the "gross-ness" of the meat and dairy industry (both in terms of the animals' treatment, and the impact for ...
Like Lambs to the Slaughter
Johanna Michaelsen
Harvest House Pub
, 1989
Like Lambs To The Slaughter
Although a bit out of date by now (It was written in the 80s), Michaelsen's Like Lambs To The Slaughter provides signposts for occult influences on children that every parent should be aware of. Contrary to some of the other reviews on this page, what Michaelsen ...

Michael J. Broadway
Wadsworth Publishing

Very good book!
I haven't read this yet, but I'm getting it for Christmas, and it should be just as good as the other slaughterhouse books! Read it if you want to learn about how badly animals are treated inside slaughterhouses!
Coming Through Slaughter
Michael Ondaatje
Random House of Canada, Limited
, 1998
Coming Through Slaughter: Ondaatje's musical novel
I originally read this book as part of a fiction workshop. Unlike some other class-assigned readings, this book became a treasured part of my personal collection. Its form is rather unconventional -- it's rather like reading a novel of poetry. Admittedly, it can be ...

Ginny has always dreamed of having her very own pony, so when her parents agree to rent her a pony for the summer, Ginny is thrilled! But when Mokey arrives, she is shaggy, dirty, and half-starved–not at all what Ginny had in mind. Can Ginny still have the summer of her dreams?
Building Your Dream Horse: Charles Wilhelm's Ultimate Foundation Training (Howell Equestrian Library)
Charles Wilhelm
Howell Book House
, 2005
Great Gift
I got this book as a gift for my mom, and she loves it. It really fits the "going back to horses" frame of mind, as Charles Wilhelm stated in the introduction. She has had horses her whole life, but hasn't been very involved the past 10-15 years, and Charles Wilhelm ...
Faithless (Grant County)
Karin Slaughter
Random House Audio
, 2005
The Grant County series- one of the best there is!
The Grant Co series is one of the finest mystery series that there is. The triad of main characters, Lena, Jeffrey and Sarah, are a fascinating mix of vulnerability, strength, good and bad. What I love about this series is that not a single one of the main characters ...

,
Jonathan Lurie
University Press of Kansas
, 2003
The Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution, ratified in 1868, sought to protect the rights of the newly freed slaves; but its first important test did not arise until five years later. When it did, it centered on a vitriolic dispute among the white butchers of mid-Reconstruction New Orleans. The rough-and-tumble world of nineteenth-century New ...
Meat, Modernity, and the Rise of the Slaughterhouse (Becoming Modern: New Nineteenth-Century Studies)
New Hampshire
, 2008
Over the course of the nineteenth century, factory slaughterhouses replaced the hand-slaughter of livestock by individual butchers, who often performed this task in back rooms, letting blood run through streets. A wholly modern invention, the centralized municipal slaughterhouse was a political response to the public's increasing lack of ...

Good Read
a clear, unbiased and compelling book. Each chapter presents a different perspective on this controversial topic.
Indelible
Karin Slaughter
Random House Audiobooks
, 2004
Great series addition
This was my favorite of the Grant County books so far. We got to know the characters history a little more, which was fun. And two mysteries are always better than one!
