<p><span style="font-size: small;">Here are some books I'd recommend that give historical, cultural, and philosophic context to interspecies injustice and how they are entangled with injustices against humans.

<p>I struggle to read AR books especially when there is a lot of graphic detail. Nothing will stop me being a vegan, as I know that is the only way for me and mine to live. I have tried a few, which have been hard going and not told me anything I didn't know (except perhaps numbers which will change anyway). Some books use language that I do not fully understand especially philosophical ones, and I probably don't get far with them.</p>

<p>Such a lovely gentle soul. I have met him on a vegan cruise that I now do annually. <a href="http://www.atasteofhealth.org" target="_blank">www.atasteofhealth.org</a></p>
<p>He does a meditation class on the cruise at the time when I do yoga. Having hurt my knee last year I went to his meditation class instead and discovered him and his wife. It is wonderful to meet really genuine vegan /AR people. I shall see them in March and cannot wait.</p>
