Recensione:

Praise for Raising the Peaceable Kingdom

“A continual pleasure, both beguiling and profound–an unusual combination. Deserves to be read by all humans.”
–Daniel Ellsberg

“Masson is one of the bravest people writing about animals, and one of the most thoughtful. His premise is fascinating and original, and he goes to the heart of what interests so many of us who love animals: what, ultimately, can they teach us? How much can they–and we–change?”
–Jon Katz, author of The Dogs of Bedlam Farm and Katz on Dogs

“A wise and charming parable of human kindness, goodwill, and fellowship with other creatures. Only Jeffrey Masson would actually carry out the project described here, and only he could tell the story with such humor, insight, and beautiful writing.”
–Matthew Scully, former presidential speechwriter and author of Dominion: The Power of Man, the Suffering of Animals, and the Call to Mercy
“What a delightful book, and utterly fascinating! Raising the Peaceable Kingdom is one of those rare books that entertain you so fully that you don’t even realize how deeply you are being educated. At once captivating and profound.”
–John Robbins, author of The Food Revolution and Diet for a New America
