Instead of moving toward a better world, we are now facing a
tidal wave of ecological challenges that threatens to sweep away whatever
progress we have painfully achieved. This landmark book goes beyond the
headlines to present a compelling and alarming look at what we have done,
and continue to do, to wildlife, to farm animals, to our environment, and to
ourselves. It examines the beliefs that lie at the core of our destructive
and often brutal actions against nature in general, and animals in
particular. It also details the results of these values, including the cruel
treatment of animals, the contamination of our food supply; and the
destruction of our environment. Then it shows the simple and effective steps
we can and must take to build a truly humane society and reclaim our
wondrous natural world. Author: Paul G. Irwin. 2001 240 pages ISBN
