The Animal Invitation: Science, Ethics, Religion and Law in a More-than-Human World
Series: - Human-Animal Studies, Volume: 33
Author:
This book gathers perspectives on how nonhuman neighbors not only invite our curiosity, but also enrich our deepest awarenesses, commanding attention even as they challenge our scientific, ethical, religious and law-based abilities and reflections. Nonhuman animals thereby lure us into more-than-human realms, intimating a far richer world than that which we have purported to construct by elevating humans alone through less-than-generous dismissals of these inevitable neighbors on this life-conferring and species-diverse Earth.
“The Animal Invitation is a most timely and important interdisciplinary celebration of the fact that every moment of every day each human lives and acts in a more-than-human world.”
– Marc Bekoff, Ph.D., author of The Emotional Lives of Animals: A Leading Scientist Explores Animal Joy, Sorrow, and Empathy and Why They Matter.
“The Animal Invitation opens interdisciplinary doors that facilitate any reader exploring the multiple dimensions encountered when studying our shared Earth’s larger community of life.”
– Joyce Tischler, affectionately known as “the Mother of Animal Law,” is the co-founder of the Animal Legal Defense Fund and was for twenty-five years its executive director.

Paul Waldau, Ph.D., Oxford (1997), J.D., University of California, Los Angeles (1978), has directed graduate programs focusing on nonhuman animals at Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine and at Canisius College, and taught Animal Law at Harvard and four other law schools. He is also author of three books and editor of two collections on nonhuman animals.
This book is for those interested in science, ethics, religion and law as human enterprises which impact how the human community views our fellow living beings.
