Now fully revised and updated to reflect developments in paleoanthropology and ethology, as well as greater awareness of, and urgency regarding, the climate crisis, \u003ci\u003eAn Unnatural Order\u003c\/i\u003e offers an expansive overview of what has changed (both for good and for ill) and what has unfortunately remained the same. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e His message is clear: until we grapple with the question of the animal, and our relationship with animality and the natural world, we will not be able to confront the consequences of our perpetuation of environmental destruction, biodiversity collapse, and our alienation from the Earth and one another. As brilliantly polemical and richly descriptive as it was when it was published almost three decades ago, this new version of \u003ci\u003eAn Unnatural Order\u003c\/i\u003e is sure to excite a passionate debate about our role in either saving the ecosystems upon which all species (including our own) rely, or bringing it all to an end. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJim Mason\u003c\/b\u003e was trained as a lawyer.
