Description
"Budiansky's slim, elegant discourse is a persuasive counterweight to the pastoral delusions of sentimentalists intent on seeing humans as malevolently at odds with the noble animal kingdom."--Manuela Hoelterhoff, Wall Street Journal
"Forcefully argued and eloquent."--Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, New York Times
"A subtle look at the mysteries of evolution and a stinging response to animal-rights extremists. . . . Ambrosia for anyone--whether in agreement with Budiansky or not--who appreciates the beauty of an argument that combines careful scholarship with common sense."--Kirkus Reviews
"Budiansky argues his thesis clearly and cogently."--Daily Telegraph
