| Description: | Select Guide Rating In 1993, Jim Mason, journalist, advocate, and pioneering figure in the contemporary animal advocacy movement, published An Unnatural Order - a sweeping overview of the origins of our hatred and destruction of the natural world and its creatures, from the dawn of agriculture to the present day. Now fully revised and updated to reflect developments in paleoanthropology and ethology, as well as greater awareness of, and urgency towards, the issue of the climate crisis, AN UNNATURAL ORDER offers an expansive overview of what has changed (both for good and for ill) and what has unfortunately remained the same.His message is clear: until we grapple with the question of the animal, and our relationship with animality and the natural world, we will not be able to face the realities of our perpetuation of environmental destruction, biodiversity collapse, and our alienation from the Earth and one another. As brilliantly polemical and richly descriptive as it was when it was published almost three decades ago, this new version of AN UNNATURAL ORDER is sure to excite a passionate debate about our role in either saving the ecosystems upon which all species (including our own) rely, or bringing it all to an end. |
