Animals, Nature & Albert Schweitzer by Ann Cottrell Free . Flying Fox Press, 4204 45th St., N.W., Washington, D.C. 20016 . FlyingFoxPress@erols.com . www.anncottrellfree.org 
"This unique and highly-acclaimed small volume shows - primarily through Dr. Schweitzer's own words - how his philosophy of "reverence for life" developed, from childhood, as his long life unfolded.
It demonstrates how the philosopher-physician-musician carried out his philosophy at his African hospital, in Europe and the U.S.A and how he inspired the animal protection and environmental awakening.
It describes his bond with individual animals and how he coped with the paradox of the "will-to-live" vs. "the will-to-live."
His memorable words, the sensitive commentary and the appealing photographs combine to present forcefully and gracefully Dr. Schweitzer's guidance to all persons troubled by disrespect of the natural word and all that dwell therein.
This book, which was originally published in 1982, has gone into eight printings. "

Conquering the Food Chain: Living Amongst Animals (Without Becoming One) by Stacy Mantle. 7839 E. Palm Lane, Scottsdale, AZ 85257. stacymantle@yahoo.com. www.geocities.com/stacymantle 
"This author has been described as “…the Erma Bombeck of animals” by readers of her online column. Witty and insightful, the author leads her readers on a series of adventures based on actual events. The book begins with the arrival of Malachi and Aquilla, two rescued wolf dogs, and progress through the life of Tristan, a very intelligent coyote, his neurotic sidekick Roscoe (a beagle), and the abrupt arrival of nine indoor house cats.
The result is a hilarious, inspiring and wildly entertaining collection of interconnected stories. This is a comedy, a romance and an adventure novel, all woven together with a philosophical approach to life. It is the life of a woman who has raised wolf hybrids and coyotes in the city, and has been chased by elk in the mountains of Colorado. It is the story of someone who has brought nature into her home and has learned to live in relative harmony with animals of all species even, on occasion, the human species.

"Rationale for Animal Nutrition is the book that started the natural pet food movement.
Dr. Wysong’s experience in veterinary surgery and medicine, nutritional and food science research, and building and running food manufacturing facilities gives him the ‘in the trenches’ insight to take issue with a wide variety of common nutritional givens.
Readers receive a fundamental, philosophic understanding of their place—and that of their companion animals—in the natural order of things. This empowers people with the insight needed to make independent, healthful decisions when confronting the confusing and dangerous commercial pet food marketplace.
