On Their Own Terms: Bringing Animal-Rights Philosophy Down to Earth
A new book; not the same as the old books….
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 4 June 2010
On Their Own Terms:
Bringing Animal-Rights Philosophy Down to Earth
Have you ever asked these questions?
“Should I be an animal advocate?”
“Is my diet or my garden a form of advocacy?”
“I care, but how do I know which advocacy work effects genuine, lasting change?”
It’s no understatement: Animal advocacy and the ecology are today’s hot topics. Lee Hall’s new book, On Their Own Terms, tackles the pressing questions of our age — and takes on some of the conventional advocacy wisdom and writings on the way.
On Their Own Terms is revolutionary and sane; optimistic and practical.
It’s a map, and its destination is a humanity that values justice, care and respect for human beings, other animals, and the finite, stressed-out planet that can continue to sustain only if we re-think our role.
Advance Praise for On Their Own Terms:
“Fascinating and illuminating…This work calls us to seek and celebrate a world where fish can swim, free in clean waters, and birds and bees can fly in peace. And it offers a plan to make it happen.” - Harold Brown, FarmKind.org
“It is not a book to leave on a shelf, but one to wear out, to scribble notes in, to take to the coffee shop and the campfire..This book is part of a continuing conversation among friends about how we should live our lives.” -Jay Tutchton, WildEarth Guardians
About the Author: Lee Hall is a U.S. lawyer whose diverse contributions include teaching immigration law at Rutgers University and co-authoring a cookbook with Priscilla Feral.
