Book Overview
Matt Ball and Bruce Friedrich take the plight of the world's animals seriously and have dedicated their lives to ending their suffering. The Animal Activist's Handbook argues that meaning in life is to be found, quite simply, in turning away from the futile pursuit of "more," and focusing instead on leaving the planet a better place than you found it. The critical component of creating a better world for all is thoughtful, deliberate, and dedicated activism that takes suffering seriously. The authors build a ground-up case for reasoned, impassioned, and joyous activism that makes the most difference possible, and suggest a variety of ways to live a meaningful life through effective and ef?cient advocacy.

essential reading
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This book is essential reading for anyone that endeavors to speak on behalf of animals. It's to the point and packed with helpful information to make you a more effective animal advocate. This book is well organized and written. There's no fluff or padding, it's what you need to know and nothing more. The authors know that as an animal advocate, you have no time to waste.
More than a handbook
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Ball and Friedrich's contribution is aptly named a "handbook", though it's more than that. There is a great amount of useful information in one slim reference source, and a thoughtful distillation of so much that activists need to know. But it's not only for those who advocate. Others just wanting to know the ethical and practical case for compassion for all beings will find this a thorough resource that can be read quickly and grasped easily.
Helpful Book

I found this book helpful and instructive in both giving some historical perspective as well as giving usefl ideas on how to be a better advocate for animals. Recommended reading for all who want to live their lives constructively in the pursuit of animal rights.
Great book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
The Animal Activist's Handbook offers invaluable suggestions for how to be as effective as possible in giving a voice to the voiceless. The plight of animals is so dire that we can't afford to engage in advocacy that isn't optimally useful in changing people attitudes about, and actions, toward them. I wish this book had been written when I first got involved in the animal protection movement--it would have made my early years as an animal advocate a lot more effective!
So much more than a "how-to" guide
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This book is so much more than a "how-to" guide for activists. It is an inspirational and motivational opus from the two gentlest yet most effective giants in the movement. The Animal Activist's Handbook will elevate your activism and forever alter who you are and who you want to be.
