Join us in a moderated discussion with Mr Alexis on his inspirations and challenges in writing Fifteen Dogs.
Talk to the author in the Question-and-Answer session.
André Alexis brings us this fascinating fable of humanity, exploring what happens when fifteen dogs are granted the power of human thought. The gods watch with amusement from above and wager a high-stakes bet—will at least one of the dogs die happy?

This seminar will introduce and demonstrate two online anatomy reference tools subscribed by the Library: Anatomy & Physiology Online and 3D Anatomy for Speech Language Pathology. Both tools provide high quality 3D images and animations on human anatomy, while the latter one focuses on the anatomy of the head and neck. The two anatomy tools offer good image references that will help students from nursing, rehabilitation science, speech therapy and biomedical engineering better understand the mechanisms and functions of human body. The speaker will also elaborate on how these tools can support teaching at PolyU.
