The Lives of Animals (The University Center for Human Values Series)

"Frankly, there are going to be some who say this is the sort of exercise that gives intellectual discourse a bad name, and while I'm sympathetic to the cause, I'll have to agree with them--with the glowing exception of Smuts' essay, this is arid, didactic stuff....That doesn't make THE LIVES OF ANIMALS bad--Booker Prize-winning Coetzee has no trouble turning a phrase or crisply encapsulating an idea--but it does make it unlikely that it's going to find much of an audience beyond the converted, or those paid to write reviews."Peter Singer is the author of 'The Lives of Animals (The University Center for Human Values Series)', published 2001 under ISBN 9780691070896 and ISBN 069107089X.
