veganism: John Robbins was the heir-apparent for the Baskin-Robbins fortune, but turned it all away to devote his life to vegetarianism/veganism and animal's rights. Go here: http://www.foodrevolution.org/ I read "Diet for a New America" 20 or so years ago. It really opened my eyes. I am no longer a vegetarian, but I do have a respect for the animals who give their lives for my sustenance. |||Farm Sanctuary by Gene Baur|||Anything by Eric Marcus or Gary Francione is good...Tom Reagan and Carol J. Adams to some extent also. If you're religious (or even if you aren't), there are also at least a few books out there about the connections between religion (mostly Christianity) and veganism. Edit: Try going to akpress.org and look under their vegetarian/animal rights section. You're bound to find at least a few titles that fit what you're looking for. AK Press is awesome. :) You could try Lantern Books too (lanternbooks.com).|||Anything by Gary Francione is recommended. You could start with his book "Introduction to Animal Rights". He also has a blog,
