Jill Robinson

The incredible, moving true story of how one woman's commitment to kindness in action started a movement that has saved nearly 700 Asiatic moon bears to date, as well as countless dogs, elephants and other animals across China and Vietnam"My first encounter with a moon bear changed my life forever..."It was a single, life-changing moment - holding the paw of a distressed, captive moon bear - that ignited Jill Robinson's mission to rescue the stoic and majestic Asiatic black bear and end the cruel practice of bile farming. Starting from nowhere, but with the passionate support of a few brilliant friends and advisors, it would take plenty of blood and sweat, and many tears, to put her plan into action. Jill knew that she couldn't rest until she had found a way to help these innocent animals, providing them with a sanctuary where they could live out the rest of their lives in peace, free from suffering and exploitation. From her early days of undercover activism in Hong Kong, Jill went on to establish Asia's first animal therapy program, Dr Dog, and then to found Animals Asia - a charity that would work tirelessly to rescue the continent's captive bears. As their efforts started to pay off, Jill and her team knew that it wasn't just bears who needed their help - they would also save as many street dogs as possible, and work to free as many Asian elephants as they could along the way. No Bear Left Behind is a powerful and hopeful testament to the enduring power of compassion, courage, and radical care in action. It is a story of cruelty and compassion, of injustice and redemption, and of how one person's unwavering determination in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges can inspire a movement to change the world.

For courses in Chemistry Laboratory. This comprehensive laboratory manual features 29 experiments with a focus on real-world applications. These experiments were written specifically to correspond with the 8th Edition of CHEMISTRY by Robinson/McMurry/Fay. Each experiment explores one or more topics, covered within a chapter in the textbook, with the goal of helping students understand the underlying concepts covered in the lecture course and allowing students to apply what they’ve learned in lecture to an actual situation where used. Each experiment discusses what it entails along with why it is important and where the concept and/or technique will be applied again. The labs are designed to replicate a typical research-style experience with experiments that are investigative in nature.

For years Jasper, a moon bear, lived a miserable existence, held captive in a cage by bear farmers in rural China. The farmers extracted the bile from Jasper's body and sold it to be used in traditional medicines. It's a horrific practice and conducted on thousands of moon bears each year. But now Jasper has the chance to be free and live a life away from pain and torture. In 2000, Animals Asia, an animal welfare organization, rescued Jasper and other captive moon bears, taking them to its Moon Bear Rescue Centre. Here veterinarians attended to the bears' wounds, hoping to give them some chance of a peaceful existence in the animal sanctuary. But after so many years of abuse Jasper's wounds, both physical and mental, are extensive. Can Jasper mend his body and mind and finally enjoy the life he was meant to live?
