No longer a fringe extremist cause, the animal rights movement has become a social concern endorsed by leading members of society and government. This fun primer for a smart and socially committed generation delivers some serious surprises in the form of facts and figures about the treatment of animals, pets, fur, fashion, food, animal testing, activism, and more. But it's light on lectures that make you feel guilty if you're not a leather-boycotting vegan, lightening the conversation with cartoons and celebrity profiles instead. 192 pp. February.
