When Richard Ryder coined the term speciesism over two decades ago, the tissue of animal rights was very much a minority concern. Today, the animal rights movement is well-established across the globe and continues to gain momentum, with animal experimentation for medical research very much in the news. This pioneering book, an historical survey of the relationship between humans and non-humans, paved the way for these developments. Revised and updated to include the movement's recent history, Animal Revolution is now available in paperback for the first time.When Richard Ryder coined the phrase speciesism over 20 years ago, animal rights was very much a minority concern.
