Nutrient Requirements Of Non-Human Primates, 2nd Edition
Edited
This new release presents the wealth of information gleaned about nonhuman

Rattling The Cage: Toward Legal Rights For
Animals
by: Wise, Steven
The author demostrates, with wit & impeccable reasearch, that the cognitive,
emotional, and social capacities of apes should entitle them to freedom
from imprisonment & abuse. It offers Wise's argument to secure the blessings
of liberty for chimpanzees and bonobos. Despite the cognitive, emotional,
social, and sexual sophistication exhibited by both species, Wise acknowledges
that advocating the legal personhood of what others might consider hairy
little beasts leaves him vulnerable to ridicule and marginalization as a
fringe academic. In this unprecedented, yet long-awaited book, Wise finally
breaks through the wall that has separated non-humans from human animals
for centuries. He reveals that, while the way we view animals is changing
rapidly, the courts remain mired in the dark ages. This book has everything
needed to convine judges, scientists, lawyers, and millions of others the
injustice of denying animals their basic legal rights. 362 pgs.

Snow Monkeys
by: Iwago, Hideko
Wwildlife photographer Mitsuaki Iwago has turned his eye to these enchanting
primates. Pink-faced with shaggy gray fur, snow monkeys are among nature's
most curious creatures, but until now have not received thorough photographic
attention. Considered national treasures in Japan, they live in the snowy
mountain forests and love to play. Snow Monkeys begins with a series of
astounding photographs of the monkeys cavorting with snowballs, climbing
trees, and happily roughhousing. They also love to make a splash in Japan's
many natural hot springs. (So much so, that once when Iwago was enjoying
a dip, one of the monkeys joined him!) Snow Monkeys provides a rare glimpse
of these amusing and marvelously photogenic creatures. Over 100 full color

Thinkers of the Jungle - The
Orangutan Report
by: Schuster, Gerd, Smits, Willie and Ullal, Jay
Orangutans are among our closest relatives in the animal kingdom. They share
97% of their genes with us, they are highly intellignet, thoughtful and
inventive. They have a culture and aesthetic sense and they resemble us
in facial expression, gesture and many other ways. The red apes, which live
only in Borneo and Sumatra, are far more 'human' than human beings, and
thus probably too good for this world. They are strong as oxen, but do not
defind themselves against poachers or the loggers of the palm oil corporations
- and are mercilessly slaughtered. This is an unusual portrait of the being
we know as the orangutan that goes far beyond mere zoology. Based on the
personal experience of Dr. Willie Smits, probably the leading world authority
on orangutans, it uncovers the reasons behind the murder of our shaggy relatives
- sparing no feelings and providing good evidence. And shows too that all
hope is not yet lost. 320 pages
