Rezensionen

"This valuable book is 'the first transnational history of the Australian animal movement'. Its most obvious strength is the detail which Gonzalo Villanueva provides on the various aspects of the animal movement and his comprehensive approach. ... it represents essential reading for anyone who wishes to understand animal issues in Australia."
