...other 19th century greats. Together, these skills have made him one of Britain's most celebrated novelists. But his latest, Tomorrow, is a model of delayed gratification. That's what makes it so infuriating. Like his other novels, Tomorrow deals with sex, death, betrayal, history, intergenerational conflict, love and pain. But this one involves people who are mostly prosperous, likable and happy, and they largely stay that way throughout.

...Scientists are exempted from cruelty laws, and in hunting, hunters are almost always excluded from anti-cruelty laws,” Sunstein said. Animal cruelty laws show that there is a consensus among the public that animals should not be subjected to torture or intense pain, according to Sunstein. But Porter Professor of Philosophy Christine M. Korsgaard, who has given a series of lectures on humans’ duties to animals, told the crowd that part of the reason why animal cruelty has not received significant attention is because unethical practices have been ingrained in our daily culture...
