The book is organized into ten chapters, framed by a Prologue and Epilogue focused on Weidensaul’s banding experience in Denali National Park.
In " Is This the Future of the Digital Book? " The one that caught my eye as useful for vegans and the animal rights community is: WEBook, a venture-backed start-up in New York, allows people to collaborate on writing books and is working on new ways to let readers give writers real-time feedback on their work.
The book takes a look at how our favorite animal companions, the dog, lives life and what we can learn about how to live our own life from observing them. The book isn’t a long one, but it does give a lot of great facts (and talks about health myths as well). Tags: books.

It's a book by Tracy Kidder about Dr. Paul Farmer, an international health advocate who made his name from his work in Haiti and his fight against Multi-Drug Resistant Tuberculosis (MDR). It's stuck in my mind and tainted the book.
The most constructive part of the book (and possibly the most shocking to those who are only peripherally familiar with the vegetarian movement and who might therefore expect radicalism) is the authors' discussion of tolerance in all activities. Tags: activism book reviews. Here's a review on Huffington Post.
I'm trying to come up with a book for my book club about animal rights. Tags: meat. What do I choose? All of them are meat eaters, two because their "doctors" told them they had to eat meat.

First, Chris directed me to ePub Bud , which appears to be a timely and fantastic idea given my recent plea for more books for children about veganism. In addition, it looks like a great way to get your book into ePub form (and here 's how to read it) no matter what age your audience is.
