<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>"A fascinating, thoughtful, and thoroughly enjoyable exploration of a major dimension of human experience."-- Steven Pinker, author of <em>How the Mind Works </em></strong></p><p><strong>A maverick scientist reveals the inconsistent and often paradoxical ways humans think, feel, and behave toward animals in this engaging, informative, and though-provoking book, now newly revised.</strong></p><p><em>Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat</em> is a highly entertaining and illuminating journey through the full spectrum of human-animal relations. Drawing on his groundbreaking research in the field of anthrozoology, Dr. Hal Herzog tries to make sense of our complex relationships with animals and the challenging moral conundrums we face regarding these creatures who share our world--and some, our homes. <br/></p><p>A blend of anthropology, behavioral economics, evolutionary psychology, and philosophy, updated to reflect evolving attitudes and the most recent findings, <em>Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat </em> is a poignant, often challenging, and frequently laugh-out-loud funny trip through a world of animal rights activists, cockfighters, professional dog-show handlers, veterinary students, biomedical researchers, and more. It will forever change the way we think about other living creatures and, ultimately, how we see ourselves.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A fascinating, thoughtful, and thoroughly enjoyable exploration of a major dimension of human experience."--<strong>Steven Pinker, Harvard College Professor of Psychology, Harvard University, and author of<em> How the Mind Works</em> and <em>The Stuff of Thought</em></strong><br><br>"A fun read. . . . What buoys this book is Herzog's voice. He's an assured, knowledgeable and friendly guide."--<strong>Lisa Ko, author of<em> The Leavers</em></strong><br><br>"A wonderful book--wildly readable, funny, scientifically sound, and with surprising moments of deep, challenging thoughts. I loved it."--<strong>Robert M. Sapolsky, Neuroscientist, Stanford University, and author of Monkeyluv and <em>A Primate's Memoir</em></strong><br><br>"An instant classic. . . . Written so accessibly and personally, while simultaneously satisfying the scholar in all of us."--<strong>Arnold Arluke, Anthrozoös</strong><br><br>"An intelligent and amusing book that invites us to think deeply about how we define-and where we limit-our empathy for animals."--<strong><em>Publishers Weekly</em></strong><br><br>"Everybody who is interested in the ethics of our relationship between humans and animals should read this book."--<strong>Temple Grandin, author of <em>Animals Make Us Human</em></strong><br><br>"Hal Herzog does for our relationships with animals what Michael Pollan's Omnivore's Dilemma did for our relationships with food. . . . The book is a joy to read, and no matter what your beliefs are now, it will change how you think."--<strong>Sam Gosling, Professor of Psychology, University of Texas, Austin, author of <em>Snoop: What Your Stuff Says About You</em></strong><br><br>"Herzog argues that moral absolutes are not readily available in a complex world--one that exists in shades of grey, rather than the black and white of animal rights activists and their opponents. . . . Herzog has a clear eye for the essence of a scientific study, but he leavens his narrative with illuminating personal stories and self-deprecating humor."--<strong><em>Nature</em></strong><br><br>"Reminiscent of <em>Freakonomics</em>. . . . An agreeable guide to popular avenues of inquiry in the field of anthrozoology."--<strong><em>The New Yorker</em></strong><br><br>"Wonderful. . . . An engagingly written book that only seems to be about animals. Herzog's deepest questions are about men, women and children."--<strong><em>Cleveland Plain Dealer</em></strong><br>
