New Animal Rights history book

[Guest guest]

There's a new animal rights history book out: The Longest Struggle:

Animal Advocacy from Pythagoras to Peta by Norm Phelps. Here's a

partial review from Booklist on Amazon: " Phelps, a vegetarian and

animal-activist author, follows the history of philosophical thought

about the exploitation of animals and various animal advocates who have

fought for animal rights from roughly 600 BCE to the present. These

philosophical underpinnings provide the roots of the animal-rights

movement, the history of which fills the rest of the book. " Published

by Lantern Books, $20. Or, you can borrow a copy at the SF Main Library.
