Way Of Compassion: Vegetarianism, Environmentalism, Animal Advocacy & Social Justice

Author: Rowe, Martin

From The Publisher
In a world filled with what seems only bad news, it is easy to become overwhelmed by the extensiveness of environmental degradation, violence to other species, and our collective suffering. The Way of Compassion offers inspiring, thoughtful, and practical wisdom on sustainable living, nonviolence in all its forms, and a deeper spiritual appreciation of our place in the world. In so doing, the book examines the ups and downs of becoming an activist for change, and offers both timely and timeless advice on how we can create a more harmonious and peaceful planet.

Reviews
From Publishers Weekly 
Jungian psychologist James Hillman, animal behavioralist Jane Goodall,humorist/social activist Dick Gregory and environmental Maneka Gandhi (India'sMinister of Welfare) are among the contributors to this eloquent, forcefulbodyof writings that forges vital links between vegetarianism, environmentalismandanimal rights and the quest for social justice. All the pieces are drawn fromSatya: A Magazine of Vegetarianism, Environmentalism, and Animal Advocacy,whichRowe edits. For readers contemplating a switch away from a meat-centered diet,this cheerfully inclusive volume includes diverse perspectives: Philadelphiarabbi Arthur Waskow's "Eco-Kosher" living strategy; British theologian AndrewLinzey's theocentric philosophy of animal rights; African American WBAI radiohost Shelton Walden's thoghts on how the animal advocacy movement can reachoutto the black community. One essay, by Rynn Berry, lays to rest the myth thatHitler was a vegetarian: the Fuhrer gorged on Bavarian sausages, ham, liverandpigeon, though he occasionally went on "vegetarian" binges to cure hisflatulence and excessive sweating. Selections range from timely reports on"madcow disease" and genetic engineering to wake-up calls concerning Earth'sdiminishing resources and a critique of American's dependence on theautomobile. What unites the contributions is the shared conviction thatgratuitous, massive violence against animals has no place in a future worldfree of exploitation and domination. Anyone concerned about the state of theplanet will relish drinking from this clear and bracing pool ofwisdom."
 
From Library Journal 
"This collection of timely essays from Satya: A Magazine of Vegetarianism,Environmentalism, and Animal Advocacy, a monthly edited by Rowe, containsinspiring works by and interviews with activists on grass-roots action, civildisobedience, and finding one's true direction. Essayists convincingly arguethat our abuses of the world, and of the animals with whom we share the world,create not just the physical crises of pollution and extinction but crises ofthe psyche and culture as well. Never sensationalistic, the writers share anunderstanding of how humans fit into a planetary scheme and how we maystructure our lives when called to action. Sophisticated but not inaccessible,this book gives readers who have already thought about these problems a deeperphilosophical understanding of their viewpoints from pe
