"The Weaning of America", 114 pages, $10 including shipping
"A stimulating and thought-provoking work that argues strongly for living with respect for the other animals who share this world with us."
-John Robbins, author of "Diet For a New America", "To Feed the World", and "Reclaiming Our Health".
"The Weaning of America" is a wonderful book. If it shows us what is wrong with our relationships with animals - and it does, in crystal-clear terms - it also shows us how to fix the problem, one person at a time. Don has done a brilliant job in this compact volume."
-Neal Barnard, M.D. - President, Physician's Committee for Responsible Medicine.
