This sourcebook is as much an anthology for the general reader as a dictionary for teachers and students of humane education.

Addison, Browning, Kenneth Clark, da Vinci, Dostoevsky, Gandhi, Hardy, Iris Murdoch, Carl Sagan, Schweitzer, Shaw, Tolstoy, Thoreau and Wordsworth are among the hundreds of people quoted.

Its contributors have seen if only partially or with limited commitment to change - the connection between our behaviour toward each other, and our treatment of non- human species.

The selections powerfully uphold a growing conviction that no solution to today's massive problem of violence is possible until we accept the underlying unity of life, and what this unity - this kinship - demands of the Earth's leading, if now endangered, species.

They explore, with heartening unanimity, the deepest level of the environmental conscience; they strengthen the case for a more holistic compassion, for more humane educational systems.

At the same time, they make a trenchant case for acknowledging the rights of other creatures, irrespective of consequential benefit to ourselves.
