About This Item
London: National Anti-Vivisection Society Limited. 1983. First revised edition (second edition overall). First revised edition (second edition overall). Publisher's original black cloth with titles in gilt to the spine, in dustwrapper. Illustrated with 11 photographic plates in colour and black and white. With a number of related press-cuttings loosely laid in. A near fine copy, the binding square and firm. The contents with a previous owner's pencil note to the front free endpaper are otherwise clean and crisp throughout. Complete with the better than very good dustwrapper which has a touch of toning to the spine and a little shelf wear to the extremities. Not price-clipped (£6.75 to the rear panel). Richard D. Ryder was a member of the Oxford Group, an association of intellectuals loosely centred on the University of Oxford that came to prominence in the early 1970s, and which led a renewed public debate regarding animal use, in particular factory farming and animal research. He notably spearheaded the organisation of the first academic animal-rights conference, held in August 1977 at Trinity College, Cambridge, which resulted in the production of a "Declaration against Speciesism" - a term he himself coined - signed by 150 people. His writings went on to greatly influence the public and political debate regarding animal welfare during the later twentieth century, and he is now seen as one of the leading figures of the modern animal rights movement. The present title, the first revised edition of the 1975 original, forms one of his key works, offering a damning indictment of practice of vivisection. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request. Lucius Books welcomes direct contact with our customers.
