"For the Love of Animals: The Rise of the Animal Protection Movement" 
DATE: Tuesday, July 15, 7:00 p.m.

KATHRYN SHEVELOW http://www.kathrynshevelow.com/ - 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, "For the Love of Animals" is a
captivating cultural narrative that takes us into the lives of animals -
and into the minds of humans - during some of history's most fascinating
times.
