Opis

Many people consider themselves to be both environmentalists and supporters of animal welfare. Yet, despite the many issues which bring environmentalists and animal advocates together, for decades there have been flashpoints which seem to pit these two social movements against each other, dividing them in ways unhelpful to both.

Recenzje

"For too long, a rift has existed between animal advocacy and environmentalism. Amy Fitzgerald mends the rift, showing how animal advocates and environmentalists can work together to protect all life on the beautiful planet we call home." Leslie Irvine, University of Colorado at Boulder "Fitzgerald offers compelling evidence and argumentation that animal advocacy and environmental movements have much more in common than scholars and activists have assumed. This brilliant study presents researchers and advocates with the tools to critically examine and explore the implications of those unexpected linkages." David N. Pellow, University of California, Santa Barbara
