Sins of the Flesh: A History of Ethical Vegetarian Thought

Unlike previous books on the history of vegetarianism, Sins of the Flesh examines the hisotry of vegetarianism in its ethical dimensions, from the origins of humanity through to the present. It is a ground-breaking history of ethical vegetarianism that will appeal to all readers concerned with human-animal relations and the foundations of animal rights.
