Synopsis
Raising awareness of human indifference and cruelty toward animals, The Global Guide to Animal Protection includes more than 180 introductory articles that survey the extent of worldwide human exploitation of animals from a variety of perspectives. In addition to entries on often disturbing examples of human cruelty toward animals, the book provides inspiring accounts of attempts by courageous individuals--including Jane Goodall, Shirley McGreal, Birute Mary Galdikas, Richard D. Ryder, and Roger Fouts--to challenge and change exploitative practices.
As concern for animals and their welfare grows, this volume will be an indispensable aid to general readers, activists, scholars, and students interested in developing a keener awareness of cruelty to animals and considering avenues for reform. Also included is a special foreword by Archbishop Desmond Tutu, urging readers to seek justice and protection for all creatures, humans and animals alike.

Reviews
This is a very reasonably priced and information-packed collection of short essays covering animal protection across the globe. Written predominately by practitioners and academics, coverage includes history, marine life, wildlife, companion animals, and similar concerns. Entries cover topics such as Roadside zoos and menageries and Vegetarianism in Britain and America, range from a few paragraphs to a page, and feature bibliographies and cross-references. Although the print is uncomfortably small, the writing style is uncluttered and easy to follow. This title will likely see more action in a circulating collection, and it is recommended for academic and public libraries. --Art A. Lichtenstein
