About the Author :
Michael W. Fox is a graduate veterinarian from the Royal Veterinary College, London, England, with doctoral degrees in medicine and in ethology/animal behavior from the University of London, England. Formerly an associate professor of psychology at Washington University, St. Louis, Dr. Fox has worked full-time in the animal rights and protection movement for the past thirty years, applying science and ethics to improve the treatment and status of animals in society. In addition to his nationally syndicated newspaper column, he has authored more than forty books on animal behavior, rights, welfare, and conservation, including most recently, The Boundless Circle: Caring for Creatures and Creation and Beyond Evolution: The Genetically Altered Future of Plants, Animals, the Earth...and Humans.

Review :
"A magisterial study of the great community of living beings and the manner in which humans become present to this community in a mutually enhancing manner. Such an overview is urgent at this time when the power of humans to help or to harm the total life process has become vastly increased." - Thomas Berry, author of The Great Work: Our Way into the Future "In his delightfully provocative style, Michael Fox brings the discipline of bioethics to the average citizen. In doing so he helps us to walk through the thicket of ethical issues that plague us all in our modern world-from the dangers and promises of our new technologies to the complexity and vitality of the many new relationships that confront us in our recent recognition that the earth we live in is a community. In this new community 'earthworms and bacteria' play roles that may have greater value 'than the sum of most of our endeavors.'" - Frederick Kirschenmann, Kirschenmann Family Farms, Inc. "Only one person had everything it took to write such a book and fortunately, Michael Fox wrote it." - Van Rensselaer Potter, author of Global Bioethics: Building on the Leopold Legacy
