But as pets became more common, human attitudes toward animals evolved steadily. An unconventional duchess defended their intellect in her writings. A gentleman scientist believed that animals should be treated with compassion. And with the concentrated efforts of an eccentric Scots barrister and a flamboyant Irishman, the lives of beasts&#8212;and, correspondingly, men and women&#8212;began to change. <br><br>Kathryn Shevelow, a respected eighteenth-century scholar, gives us the dramatic story of the bold reformers who braved attacks because they sympathized with the plight of creatures everywhere. More than just a history, this is an eye-opening exploration into how our feelings toward animals reveal our ideas about ourselves, God, mercy, and nature. Accessible and lively, <i>For the Love of Animals</i> is a captivating cultural narrative that takes us into the lives of animals&#8212;and into the minds of humans&#8212;during some of history&#8217;s most fascinating times.<br></div> 2995881 24 6 2008 For the Love of Animals: The Rise of the Animal Protection Movement total:16|5:3|4:6|3:5|2:1|1:1| 16 57 61 10 2966352 0805080902 9780805080902 16 10 3.56 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1215136666m/2966352.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2966352.For_the_Love_of_Animals_The_Rise_of_the_Animal_Protection_Movement 5 2 false Tue Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Jul 07 13:36:52 -0700 2008 Thu Aug 14 17:33:23 -0700 2008
