Guest guest Posted December 24, 2002 Report Share Posted December 24, 2002 Hi all, We're going to give a book discussion group a try. The first book to be read and discussed is entitled, " Dominion: the power of man, the suffering of animals, and the call to mercy " by Matthew Scully. We'll be discussing it on Sunday, Feb. 23rd at 4:00 p.m. at a cafe TBA. Matthew Scully is a journalist and former speechwriter for President George W. Bush. Library Jounal Review hails " Dominion " as " one of the best books ever written on the subject of animal welfare. As a journalist, Scully personally investigated several major animal industries, including those of hunting, whaling, and factory farming. He asks penetrating questions and shows the logical and political inconsistencies used to defend cruel industries. Although some may balk at the author's sarcasm, it adds an emotional element to his unequaled depth of insight. Scully has a remarkable grasp of the issues and a unique perspective on our societal treatment of animals. Every library should purchase this book. Highly recommended. " I'm looking forward to reading it and I hope you read it, too, and come to the discussion. Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable. Sign up now. http://mailplus.
