In the third all-new volume in the State of the Animals series, published scholars and experts in animal protection examine the challenges facing companion animals, marine mammals, and nonhuman primates as well as review legal protection for animals here and abroad.
When asked what single book people can read in order to learn about the intersection of human and nonhuman interests today, I always mention the latest volume of The State of the Animals. It is ever so helpful personally, educationally, politically, and legally.

An impressive, important, and informative book series. The 2005 edition is a wonderful resource for the latest information and overview for all interested in the animal welfare issues of our day.
