This book analyses the animal images used in William Hogarths art; demonstrating how animals were variously depicted as hybrids; edibles; companions; emblems of satire and objects of cruelty. Beirne offers an important assessment of how Hogarths various audiences reacted to his gruesome images and ultimately what was meant by cruelty.

I called him BenjiBy PamelaThis book tells a story of a poor boy his difficult life including the challenge of growing up in a neighborhood where drugs were readily available. Follow Bobby through his life to see that addicts can find recovery. The best part is that I am on page 51. I called him Benji.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Here we find the backstory of Brooklyn GangBy Guy O. Whelchel IIIBruce Davidsons photographs appear in the Time Life Book Series "This Fabulous Century." I knew that there were more photographs than Life published and so when the International Center of Photography put on its exhibition of Brooklyn Gang I drove down from Connecticut and saw it. The reviews of the exhibitiion suggested that there was more information than any source published--a good deal of it is here. I never-before understood how bad living conditions were in the post-war; and I did not fully understand how much the drug epidemic changed New York culture. This book tells an interesting story--it would have been illuminating to see what happened to more of the "Jokers" from the photographs--perhaps that is the next book.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy Greg AndersonGreat story of redemption; very moving. Wish they had reprinted more of the pictures; though.
