How should we treat non-human animals? In this book, the author addresses this simple question with trenchant, dispassionate reasoning. Accompanied by the disturbing evidence of factory farms and laboratories, his answers triggered the birth of the animal rights movement.

"If I have to choose the book that brought me a big change, then I would say Animal Liberation by Peter Singers." -Jane Goodall"Singer's documentation is unrhetorical and unemotional, his arguments tight and formidable, for he bases his case on neither personal nor religious nor highly abstract philosophical principles, but on moral positions most of us already accept." -New York Times Book Review"A most important book that will change the way many of us look at animals-and, ultimately, at ourselves." -Chicago Tribune"This book is a must . . . not just for every animal lover but for every civilized reader." -Cleveland Amory"Kama nisingekuwa na budi kuchagua kitabu kilichoniletea mabadiliko makubwa, basi ningesema 'Ukombozi wa Wanyama' cha Peter Singer." - Jane Goodall"Muundo wa uwasilishaji ujumbe wa Singer si wa kimazoea na haufungwi na hisia; ujengaji wake wa hoja ni makini na wenye fikra nzito, kwani hajengi hoja zake kwenye kanuni binafsi wala zakidini wala falsafa ya hali ya juu ya kufikirika, bali katika misimamo ya kimaadili ambayo wengi wetu tayari tunaikubali." - New York Times Book Review"Ni kitabu muhimu sana ambacho kitabadili namna wengi wetu tunav-yowachukulia wanyama-na, hatimaye, sisi wenyewe." - Chicago Tribune"Kitabu hiki ni cha lazima...si kwa wapenda wanyama tu bali kwa kila msomaii alivestaarabika." - Cleveland AmoryTangu chapisho la kwanza kabisa la mwaka 1975, kazi hi yenye kuleta mageuzi makubwa imewaamsha mamilioni ya watu katika kung'amua uwepo wa "uspishi"-kutokuiali kwetu kwa kimfumo dhidi va wanvama wasio binadamu-na hivyo kuchochea harakati kote ulimwenguni za kuleta mabadiliko katika mitazamo yetu kuhusu wanyama na kukomesha kabisa ukatili tunaowatendea.Katika Ukombozi wa Wanyama, mwandishi Peter Singer anaanika uhalisia wa kutisha wa "mashamba-viwanda va kisasa" tulivonayo na hatua za upimaji bidhaa-akitungua hoja muflisi za utetezi, na kupende-keza mbadala wa kile ambacho kimekuja kuwa suala zito la kimazingira na kiiamii na vilevile la kimaadili. Huu ni wito muhimu na unaofikirisha kwa dhamiri, usawa, ustaarabu, na haki na ni andiko la msingi lenye kusha-wishi kwa waunga mkono na hata kwa watia shaka.

Expansion in die USA ist für Amazon FBA Händler nicht nur einfacher als die PAN EU Expansion. Der Markt von Amazon USA ist auch größer als alle anderen Amazon Märkte weltweit zusammengenommen. Die Umsätze des Amazon-Marktes der USA liegen etwas mehr als 7-mal höher als die in Amazon Deutschland. Einige Amazon Händler berichten von einer durchschnittlichen ver-10-fachung der Umsätze im Vergleich zum deutschen Markt. Chance und Aufwand stehen also in einem guten Verhältnis zueinander. Wer ein oder mehrere Produkte erfolgreich auf Amazon in Deutschland verkauft, sollte sich überlegen, diese Produkte auch in den USA anzubieten. Wie das geht und was dabei zu beachten ist, ist in diesem Whitepaper notiert. Betrachtet werden unter anderem die Themen:- Sales Tax und Tracking für die US-Staaten; - Übertragung der Amazon Seller Center Daten zum US Marktplatz von Amazon; - Verpackungsvorschriften, Zoll- und Transportabwicklung.

"A most important book that will change the way many of us look at animals--and, ultimately, at ourselves." -- Chicago TribuneSince its original publication in 1975, this groundbreaking work has awakened millions of people to the existence of "speciesism"--our systematic disregard of nonhuman animals--inspiring a worldwide movement to transform our attitudes to animals and eliminate the cruelty we inflict on them.In Animal Liberation, author Peter Singer exposes the chilling realities of today's "factory farms" and product-testing procedures--destroying the spurious justifications behind them, and offering alternatives to what has become a profound environmental and social as well as moral issue. An important and persuasive appeal to conscience, fairness, decency, and justice, it is essential reading for the supporter and the skeptic alike.

Peter Singers »Praktische Ethik«, 1979 in erster Auflage erschienen, ist in seiner ebenso präzisen wie nachvollziehbaren Argumentationsstruktur ein Musterbeispiel für klares, philosophisches Denken. Besonders wichtig ist der von Singer eingeführte Begriff des Speziesismus (Menschen denken über Tiere anders, weil Tiere keine Menschen sind, obwohl es sachlich begründete Argumente gibt, genau dies nicht zu tun). Für Kontroversen sorgten seine Theorien über Sterbehilfe und Euthanasie. Für diese dritte Auflage hat der Autor den Band komplett durchgearbeitet und um ein neues Kapitel über den Klimawandel und die sich aus diesem ergebenden Verpflichtungen gegenüber kommenden Generationen ergänzt.

The new commandments according to Rethinking Life and Death. --If you must take human life, take responsibility for the consequences of your decisions.--All human life is not of equal worth; treat beings in accordance to the ethical situation at hand.--Respect a person's desire to live or die.A profound and provocative work, Rethinking Life and Death, in the tradition of Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, examines the ethical dilemmas that confront us as we near the twenty-first century.

More than twenty years after its publication, Peter Singer's Ethics into Action continues to inspire new activists through its portrayal of Henry Spira and the animal rights movement. With a new preface from the author, this edition celebrates the continued importance of social movements and provides a path towards furthering changes in our world.

"Is there still anything worth living for? Is anything worth pursuing, apart from money, love, and caring for one's own family?" Internationally known social philosopher and ethicist Peter Singer has an answer to these and other questions in this compelling new volume. "If we can detach ourselves from our own immediate preoccupations and look at the world as a whole and our place in it, there is something absurd about the idea that people should have trouble finding something to live for."Singer suggests that people who take an ethical approach to life often avoid the trap of meaninglessness, finding a deeper satisfaction in what they are doing than those people whose goals are narrower and more self-centered. He spells out what he means by an ethical approach to life, and shows that it can bring about significant and far-reaching changes to one's life.
