The PETA Practical Guide to Animal Rights
With more than two million members and supporters, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is the world's largest animal-rights organization, and its founder and president, Ingrid Newkirk, is one of the most well-known and most effective activists in America. She has spearheaded worldwide efforts to improve the treatment of animals in manufacturing, entertainment, and elsewhere. Every day, in laboratories, food factories, and other industries, animals by the millions are subjected to inhumane cruelty. In this accessible guide, Newkirk teaches readers hundreds of simple ways to stop thoughtless animal cruelty and make positive choices. For each topic, Newkirk provides hard facts, p...
The Longest Struggle
Tells the story of animal exploitation. Follows the development of animal protection from the ancient world through the Enlightenment, the anti-vivisection battles of the Victorian Era, and the birth of the modern animal rights movement with the publication of Peter Singer's "Animal Liberation".
Why PETA Kills
Why? Why does PETA kill thousands of dogs and cats every year? Why are PETA employees instructed to acquire animals by any means necessary - which has included lying and theft - in order to kill those animals? Why do they encourage others to kill them? And why do they embrace and defend even abusive animal shelters?Former PETA employees say it is the result of the deeply perverse version of animal activism promoted by PETA founder and President, Ingrid Newkirk. They can explain how employees are made to watch "heart wrenching" films about animal abuse to instill into them the belief that people are incapable of caring for animals and that PETA is doing what is best for animals by killing the...
PETA Files
Workman delivers a damning indictment of animal rights fanaticism, unraveling the web of extremism that starts with the organization known as People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and extending to the far outer violent edges of the movement.

Real Estate Agents and You
Real estate agents are paid for results, not good service or advice. When confronted with a choice between getting a result or giving good advice, most agents go for the result.
Advanced Software Technologies for Post-Peta Scale Computing
Covering research topics from system software such as programming languages, compilers, runtime systems, operating systems, communication middleware, and large-scale file systems, as well as application development support software and big-data processing software, this book presents cutting-edge software technologies for extreme scale computing. The findings presented here will provide researchers in these fields with important insights for the further development of exascale computing technologies. This book grew out of the post-peta CREST research project funded by the Japan Science and Technology Agency, the goal of which was to establish software technologies for exploring extreme performance computing beyond petascale computing. The respective were contributed by 14 research teams involved in the project. In addition to advanced technologies for large-scale numerical computation, the project addressed the technologies required for big data and graph processing, the complexity of memory hierarchy, and the power problem. Mapping the direction of future high-performance computing was also a central priority.
Committed
'Committed' is an offbeat, hilarious memoir that shows how the most ridiculed punching-bag in school became an internationally renowned crusader for the most downtrodden individuals of all - animals. As the irreverent force behind the colorful and controversial crusades carried out by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), one of the most effective and enduring pressure groups in the world, Mathews has strutted naked before a fur convention in Tokyo, halted GM's use of animals in crash tests by storming a parade float dressed as a rabbit, and sabotaged a fashion show in Milan dressed as a priest. With self-deprecating wit and candour, Mathews reveals all the details of his unorthodox coming-of-age and equally outrageous career.
