> ABOUT THE BOOK:
> In this definitive guide to veganism, an often misunderstood lifestyle
> choice, renowned activist and award-winning on-line columnist Joanne
> Stepaniak fields questions from both friends and foes, describing how
> compassion, kindness, and respect for all animals - including human
beings -
> can be thoughtfully and practically incorporated into day-to-day living.
> Tackling a wide range of difficult, useful, and engaging topics - from
> maintaining vegan convictions under social pressure to finding hidden

> "Despite divergent backgrounds, vegans share common interests and
collective
> concerns," says Stepaniak.  "We want to have a clear understanding of the
> philosophy and ethics that form the foundation of our lifestyle and guide
our
> daily decisions."  To that end, Stepaniak has created this book which
> provides inspiration, affirmation, and information to veteran vegans,
> newcomers, and anyone contemplating the lifestyle.  She answers questions
> about:
>
> * Bringing vegan ethics into your everyday life
> * Dynamic harmlessness and the vegan philosophy
> * Maintaining the vegan relationship with others
> * Food and lifestyle choices
>
> This engaging book is a distillation and compilation of some of the
thousands
> of questions Stepaniak has received about compassionate vegan living
through
> her website and her advice column.  "I trust that the questions and
answers
> contained in this book will foster a greater appreciation for and
> understanding of veganism," says Stepaniak, "as well as offer hope,
support,
> insight, and encouragement to those who seek a more compassionate way of
> life."
>
> "Joanne Stepaniak has long been one of the freshest voices on the social
> challenges, large and small, that arise for vegetarians and vegans."
> ~John Robbins, Author of Diet For A New America
>
> "In Joanne Stepaniak's hands, veganism isn't just a matter of what you
don't
> eat, it infuses and informs every aspect of a full, flourishing human (and
> humane) existence."
> ~Tom Regan, Ph.D., Founder of The Culture and Animals Foundation and
author
