Return of the bookclub

[Guest guest]

Hi y'all,

 

I think it's time to start up the bookclub again. If

you're interested in reading and discussing the

following book, send me an email.

 

The book this time out is called " Vegetarianism:

Movement or Moment " and is written by Dr. Donna

Maurer.

 

Maurer is a sociologist/longtime vegetarian who

plunges into the nature of vegetarians and

vegetarianism.

 

Howard Lyman's appraisal: " Donna Maurer's

'Vegetarianism: Movement or Moment' is the best

resource on vegetarianism I have ever read. The book

is not only filled with information, it is as readable

as a best-selling novel. I was drawn into the book

from start to finish and I loved reading every page. "

 

I figure what's good for Howard might be good for the

rest of us.

 

More acclaim comes from Waarren Belasco: " Donna Maurer

offers a great service by taking us inside the modern

vegetarian movement. She does a very fine job of

explaining why people do and do not stop eating meat.

(It) will serve as the basic guide to American

vegetarianism for many years to come. "

 

Published in 2002, the 150 page book (paperback) sells

for 19.95 at Amazon, although the Santa Clara county

library has two more copies one could snap up.

 

Perhaps we could meet in a month or so at Basy Leaf

Cafe and discuss it.

 

All those interested, write me and we'll work out the

details.

 

Thanks,

Mike
