Probably the single most influential document in the history of ... animal welfare

Guardian

Raises ethical questions that every human being should take to heart

Yuval Noah Harari

The indispensable foundational text for the movement, new and updated with the honesty and philosophical depth characteristic of all of Singer's work

J. M. Coetzee

A reasoned plea for the humane treatment of animals that galvanised the animal rights movement the way the Rachel Carson's Silent Spring drew activists to environmentalism

The New York Times

If I have to pick the book that had the most impact on me, I would say Peter Singer's Animal Liberation, since I instantly became a vegetarian after reading it

Jane Goodall

Peter Singer may be the most moral person on the planet. If his ruthlessly consistent altruism makes the rest of us shuffle our feet in discomfort, or even noisily disrupt his lectures, that's all the more reason to read this book

Richard Dawkins

Widely recognized as the foundational text within the animal liberation movement, Peter Singer's Animal Liberation opened my eyes to the radical philosophy that all animals are worthy of equal consideration. Singer's latest, Animal Liberation Now, will motivate a new generation of readers who are resolutely committed to creating a just society for all

Joaquin Phoenix

For those with an interest in culture, ethics and animals ... Animal Liberation Now is essential reading

The Conversation

There's a reason Animal Liberation hasn't gone out of print since the Seventies - [Singer] makes for a persuasive argument, and one that's now better suited to our times

Independent

[This] book is a reminder that plain, well-sourced facts, starkly presented, often speak louder than philosophical arguments ... Animal Liberation and Animal Liberation Now owe their undeniable power to the same basic source: to know the facts is to see at once that change is needed

Nature

Animal Liberation Now … is rightly a classic: not merely a book but … a catalyst to a movement ... [it] remains radical
