ASI’s Human-Animal Studies Book Series

My colleague at the Animals and Society Institute, Ken Shapiro, is the editor of an excellent series of books published by the academic press, Brill, called Human-Animal Studies.

Each of the five titles published so far focuses on how we relate to animals and they to us.

For example, Confronting Cruelty is a sociological study of the animal rights movement.

Lisa Kemmerer’s In Search of Consistency considers animal rights and its intersection with environmental ethics and religion. I look forward to hearing Lisa speak at this year’s International Compassionate Living Festival.

My only gripe about the series is that they are expensive. So, why not order them through your local library?
