Topsy on board a ship to the USA by Sue Coe<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I wrote the narrative that goes with the art by Sue Coe<\/a> about Topsy, “An Elephant Never Forgets,” which is published in Blab!<\/em> Vol. 18<\/a>, the graphics novel annual featuring cutting-edge comics, illustration and design.<\/p>\n

I edited two anthologies of articles that were originally published in The Animals’ Agenda<\/em>. Both books are published by the redoubtable Lantern Books<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The first is Speaking Out for Animals<\/em><\/a>. In the introduction, Jane Goodall writes,<\/p>\n

Kim W. Stallwood, in gathering together stories of determination and courage, stories emphasizing the power of individual action, has produced a book that will have an important impact on those who read it. The voices of the animal advocates speak from every page: some quietly, some with resonant shouts, together encouraging all who care about animal suffering to work even harder to effect change.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Speaking Out for Animals was the first of two anthologies of article from The Animals' Agenda that I edited.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I recommend this anthology as a relatively easy read and a way to learn about animal issues through these heroic individuals.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
The second anthology of articles from The Animals' Agenda was A Primer on Animal Rights.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The second anthology is A Primer on Animal Rights<\/em><\/a>. The book contains work by some of the leading authorities on animal protection issues, including: Jim Mason, Marc Bekoff, Mike Markarian, Betsy Swart, Norm Phelps, Wayne Pacelle, Pat Derby, Gene Bauston, Karen Davis, Richard Schwartz, Don Barnes, and many others. All articles are up-to-date and full of important facts. This anthology brings together the best of the investigative reporting articles that I published in The Animals’ Agenda<\/em>.<\/p>\n

My paper, “Utopian Visions and Pragmatic Politics: Challenging the Foundations of Speciesism and Misothery,” was published in Animal Rights The Changing Debate<\/em><\/a> and the article, “The Animal Rights Movement Must Be Politically Pragmatic” from The Animals’ Agenda<\/em> was included in the 1996 edition of Animal Rights Opposing Viewpoints<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Presently,\u00a0I’m completing my first book, Animal Dharma<\/a><\/em>, which explores what it means to care deeply about animals and discovers how we can live peacefully with ourselves and others by proposing four key values: truth, compassion, non-violence and interbeing, the interrelatedness of all.<\/p>\n

Also, I’m researching my second book, The Animal Rights Challenge<\/a><\/em>, which\u00a0examines the animal rights movement, assesses society\u2019s response and proposes a strategy framing moral and legal rights for animals as part of a progressive agenda for social change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
