Animal House - a Guinea Pig Discusses Vivisection Animal House is an account of vivisection from the point of view of a guinea pig in an animal house awaiting sacrifice in the interests of medicine and humankind. He is initially supportive of his role in life, but gradually realises that using animals to benefit the welfare of humans is not quite as straightforward or innocent as he thought. Written in the style of George Orwell's masterpiece, Animal Farm, the book draws attention to the moral issues involved in a controversial and ongoing debate.

Music, Magazines & Mayhem Between 1994 and 1997, James Brown's loaded magazine became the the must-buy and must-be-in publication of the decade. It won every award going, year after year, and came to define not only its audience but also a generation. Bright, loud, funny, provocative, ambitious and careless, loaded was read from the barracks of Afghanistan to the England dressing room at Euro '96. It captured a hedonistic lifestyle of alcohol, cocaine and more. The last great hurrah before the end of the century. It was the biggest noise in the golden generation of magazine publishing, rocketing from zero to half a million sales in a matter of months. What MTV had been to the 80s, loaded was to the 90s. ANIMAL HOUSE follows James Brown's remarkable career from a high school drop-out fanzine writer with few qualifications to NME features editor aged 22, and loaded founder at 27. In between, his mother died in tragic circumstances and gradually his own drug and alcohol use began to take over. Loaded's unexpected success legitimised (and paid for) James's lifestyle, and it wasn't until he crashed and burned at GQ, and went through rehab, that any sense of perspective kicked in. Recuperating on the island of Mustique whilst plotting his return with Oz founder Felix Denis, James was asked by neighbour Lord Patrick Lichfield: "How on earth did you manage to sell so many magazines whilst taking so many drugs?" This book is his answer.

Andrea Branzi, one of Italy's foremost designers and critics and Nicoletta Branzi, designer of limited edition art clothing for women, introduce the neoprimitive style under the generic title Domestic Animals. These mysterious creature-objects are oriented to domestic settings, intended to be used or worn, but they are also fetishistic and contemplative, arousing expectations that magic or tribal rituals are about to be performed. Uniting precision of design with natural raw materials, these objects fashioned from tree trunks, sticks of wood and animal skins joined to steel bamboo rods and painted in bright, totemic colors fascinate us. Taken out of their wild settings and tamed by technology, domestic animals establish a loving relationship with man, sharing his most private space. We have not seen anything like them in the world of interior, furniture, or fashion design before. The ideas and creations in Domestic Animals were developed by the Branzis over several years, and can be understood as a metaphor of the relationship that links man to a number of animal and technical presences within the home. The Branzis have created clothing, furniture, and objects of decoration that challenge the conventional notions of habitation: Where living too often takes place in empty spaces marked out by couches they have introduced an environment of archetypal symbols and materials that invite a new way of inhabiting the home. Andrea Branzi lives and works in Milan where he is Educational Director of Domus Academy and Editorial Director of MODO. His last book, The Hot House: Italian New Wave Design, is an MIT Press paperback.
