Kaleem—thank you so much for your comment. I think you make a good point. I read “The Good It Promises” and I think there are some helpful chapters, but it has a number of essays not really about farm animals. And as Lorenzo notes there are many other books that discuss EA and farm animals. I thought The End of Animal Farming was good and cite it in my book. I just thought a good survey of EA and farm animals would be helpful for folks. In any event, I really hope my book inspires other people to write even better books!

Thank you! Jacy’s book is quite good. I would describe his as focused on clean and plant-based meat. His work was very helpful for my chapter on clean meat. My take is broader and considers a number of facets of the movement beyond the tech side. I have nothing bad to say about The End of Animal Farming but my book I think does a good job of telling the stories about activists throughout the farm animal welfare and rights communities through the lens of EA.
It is focused on America so I probably wouldn’t recommend it to folks based outside the U.S. unless they have an interest in the U.S.!
Thank you, Pete, that is so kind!
