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.

Spiritual Life of Animals & Plants
by: Conrad, Laurie
A delightful little tome of true stories told from the sensitive viewpoint
of musician Laurie Conrad. These stories -both delicate and astonishing-
describe a metamorphosis of awareness that embraces, at times, no less
than divine healings and miracles. Lovers of animals and plants have often
suspected what this book at last confirms in print: that animals and plants,
trees, birds, bees and even bugs are all spiritual beings. The anecdotes
of how she came to observe that animals and plants have spiritual consciousness
convey the simple charms of a down-to-earth mystic whose wonderment reveals
unexpected miracles. The book was designed and illustrated by Diana Souza,
whose whimsical, elegant style graces the book with the enchanted air
of a modern fairytale come-true. 100 pgs.
