Long hailed as a brilliant and controversial philosopher, Singer has assembled incisive new articles by philosophers and by activists.

The theoretical essays give a masterly overview of the field, while the essays on animal rights activism are engaging and full of good sense.' J. M. Coetzee, Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, 2003 'Take your fork out of that animal on your plate, and sit down in a comfortable chair and read this book instead.
