Description:
From dinosaur to dinner plate, Sally Coulthard tells the fascinating and sometimes shocking story of the domestic chicken.
Earth is home to 23 billion chickens, at least ten times more than any other bird. For every human on the planet, there are three chickens. Despite being capable of flying only a few metres, this most adaptable animal has somehow managed to conquer the world.
In Fowl Play, Sally Coulthard probes every aspect of the genus Gallus- the evolution and domestication of the chicken; its social behaviour and array of physically striking varieties, from Rhode Island Reds to Belgian d'Uccles and from Buff Orpingtons to White Leghorns; its importance in ancient Egyptian religion, Roman augury and Christian theology; its role as egg-providing companion on farms and smallholdings and in suburban back gardens; and the darker reality of modern poultry farming and society's insatiable appetite for chicken breasts, wings and nuggets. This is a story of evolutionary change, epic global travel, and exploitation, as well as biophilia, companionship and human ingenuity.

Student Review
This book is an excellent introduction to the basic principles of insurance. We used this text as a supplement in our Intro to Act. Sci. class. It is very readable, easy to understand. Minimal mathematics required, some basic calculus concepts used, but only briefly. Don't let it's small size fool ya, it has plenty of information in there.

Good for lawyers and non lawyers alike
Format: Kindle
I recently read "The Tools of Argument: How the Best Lawyers Think, Argue, and Win" by Joel P. Trachtman and found it to be a valuable resource for improving argumentative skills. Whether you're a law student, practicing attorney, or interested in the art of persuasion, this book offers clear and practical insights.
**Comprehensive and Accessible**
Trachtman effectively breaks down complex legal concepts into understandable sections. The book progresses logically from basic to advanced techniques, using practical examples that make the content engaging and relevant.
**Logical Structure**
The book is well-organized into four main sections: the nature of argument, the structure of argument, the techniques of argument, and the application of argument. This structure aids comprehension and allows readers to build their skills progressively.
**Practical Insights**
The focus on practical application sets this book apart. Trachtman provides actionable advice with checklists, summaries, and exercises at the end of each chapter to reinforce learning and ensure readers can apply the techniques.
**Engaging Style**
Trachtman's writing is clear and approachable, avoiding overly technical jargon. His use of humor and personal anecdotes makes the content more relatable and easier to understand.
**Versatile Application**
While tailored for the legal field, the book's lessons extend to various professions and everyday situations. The principles of constructing and deconstructing arguments are valuable in many contexts, from business negotiations to everyday debates.
**Conclusion**
"The Tools of Argument" is a practical guide for anyone looking to enhance their argumentation skills. Trachtman's clear explanations and practical advice make this book a useful addition to any library. I recommend it for lawyers, students, and anyone interested in effective argumentation.

The best book for any person who wants to understand how ...
Format: Paperback
The best book for any person who wants to understand how American Courts work! At times we all ask questions like "How can this criminal get off on technicalities if it is obvious that he/she committed crime?", or "How can this be fair?" or "How can a lawyer defend this "bad guy/girl"? This is totally wrong! He/she is a criminal!" The author explains the difference between law and common sense, law and ethics, understanding of crime in legal terms and in laymen words.The book closely examines the logical reasoning of the law professionals , demonstrating the "tricks" used in court rooms. Fascinating reading!!! WARNING: the book will not prepare you to go to court and defend your case! This is not a "how-to" manual for folks who are planning to go to court. Hire a lawyer if need be.
However, if you want to learn how to present and defend your point (any point, not just legal issues) as an intelligent and convincing person, this book is for you! Chances are, by the time you are done with debating your next case, your opponents will at least respect your opinion (or hate your guts, which still might give you some satisfaction).
This book is for anyone who wants to boost up their skills in logical persuasion, finding loopholes in opponent's logical reasoning.
Lots of interesting and valuable information for a pretty small price! It is written in a short and clear format: each chapter discusses specific idea, giving examples from court cases and average daily life (parent-child, husband-wife, employee-supervisor), concluding with a practical application summary argument vs. counterargument. So, no reason to read the entire book from beginning to end. One can just pick any chapter and read about how this or that legal (logical) rule can be applied in daily life.
