Average Rating:
 Rating: - Fascinating bookI tried vegetarianism a few years ago, and this book was one of my "readers". It's a fascinating, well-written and erudite book, and kept me with my nose in the pages for an entire camping holiday in France! It didn't work for me, in that I soon started eating meat again and felt much better as a result, but that doesn't detract (for me) from its virtues as a classic and highly-readable book. Vegetarians will no doubt love it, as it confirms everything they believe, but non-veggies can just enjoy a great book that expands the mental horizons and teaches a lot about the human animal. Very persuasive (just not quite persuasive enough for me) and highly-recommended. Rating: - all you need to know on vegetarianism: a must-havea typical book by Colin Spencer: thoroughly documented, stretching time (from big apes to the web-surfing biped), distances (worldwide), and human mind (veg'ism is non-violence/health/ environmentally awareness/ ressource saving). You'll like this book if you like history, food, humanities. In fact, I find it so rich, informative but no-fuss that I'm translating it into French! I'm now on my way to veg'ism, though Spencer is no proselyte. A Must-have whether you're interested in diet, veg'ism, history, cooking etc... let me know what you think! |
