Animal Rights/Human Rights: Entanglements of Oppression and Liberation
ISBN: 9780742517769 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) This accessible and cutting-edge work offers a new look at the history of western "civilization," one that brings into focus the interrelated suffering of oppressed humans and other animals.

Animal Oppression and Human Violence: Domesecration, Capitalism, and Global Conflict
ISBN: 9780231151894 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Jared Diamond and other leading scholars have argued that the domestication of animals for food, labor, and tools of war has advanced the development of human society.

Nibert centers his...
