Description
Vegetarianism: A History explores the complex and often fraught history of a diet that has been around as long as humanity itself. From heretics to philosophers, vegetarians have faced persecution and discrimination for their beliefs.
The book delves into the psychology of abstention from flesh, tracing the evolution of vegetarianism from pre-history to the present day. With outstanding breadth of research, Colin Spencer's work is both a thorough scholarly study and an entertaining read.
