www.wamu.org, you can find information about Diane's upcoming book tour,

10-11: Animal Law: A growing number of Americans are taking an interest in
whether or not animals can be represented in court. Several top law
schools, including Harvard and Georgetown, are offering classes on animal
law.  Diane talks with two attorneys talk about the issues being discussed
in courtrooms that used to be reserved for the laws that govern human
society.

welfare and wildlife protection; William Horn, attorney specializing in
wildlife and resources law

11-12: Emily Carr: Little-known Canadian artist Emily Carr is placed by
some art historians in the same echelon as American artist Georgia O'Keefe
and Mexican artist Frida Kahlo.  Two art historians talk about Carr's work,
why it's little-known in the U.S., and the growing interest in her career.
        Guests: Doris Shadbolt, art historian; Susan Fischer Sterling,
National Museum of Women in the Arts

   All Things Considered, 4-7 p.m.

In California, police are fighting back when citizens make bogus
complaints: they're suing. A state law allows police to file defamation
suits.  Officers say it's a safeguard now that they must catalog every
single complaint that comes in. Critics say it's chilling the right to
investigate police misconduct.
