Diet for Transcendence : Vegetarianism and the World Religions
Steven Rosen, Giorgio Cerquetti, Joshua Greene
$9.56

Beginning with an overview of the scientific reasons for avoiding flesh as a food source Mr. Rosen then considers vegetarianism in Christianity Judaism Islam Ahimsa and Eastern Religion Buddhism and Hinduism. Much of what he writes will come as a surprise to many religious people especially Christians. Vegetarianism is an ideal shared by all religions which teach mercy and respect for the Divine creation. And aside from ethical and religious considerations a mere 10 percent reduction of meat consumption in the U.S. alone would make enough grain available to feed 60 million people. This book offers reinforcement and inspiration for latent vegetarians and for those who never truly considered it.

Ethics into Action : Henry Spira and the Animal Rights Movement
Peter Singer
$16.07

How can one person make the world a better place? Henry Spira's extraordinary life as an activist shows that an individual can make a difference. By thinking about how giant corporations might be vulnerable, he found ways to change their practices and save the lives and health of animals all over the United States. Spira has led Revlon, Avon, and other cosmetics companies to change their testing procedures so that the words "not tested on animals" now appear on most cosmetic products - and are true. He stopped bizarre sex experiments on cats at a famous American museum, saved millions of American cattle from having their faces scorched with hot iron brands, and saved even larger numbers of animals from pointless drug testing. This book tells the inspiring story of a lifelong activist whose creativity and careful thought set the standard for the animal rights movement in the twentieth century.
