Subject book
Dear Faculty Member,
My book, which students find "provocative," "compelling," and "inspiring," is being used increasingly in certain humanities, social science, writing, and interdisciplinary courses at the university level.
Its title--Eternal Treblinka: Our Treatment of Animals and the Holocaust--comes from the Yiddish writer and Nobel Laureate, Isaac Bashevis Singer, to whom the book is dedicated. He was the first major modern author to describe the exploitation and slaughter of animals in terms of the Holocaust. "In relation to them, all people are Nazis," he wrote, "for animals it is an eternal Treblinka." (Treblinka was the Nazi death camp north of Warsaw.)
For more information about the book (soon to be in ten languages), see below. And if you want an examination copy, do let me know.
And please be assured you're not on any list. Your address came from your university website. This is a one-time mailing.
Thank you
Charles Patterson

GROUNDBREAKING AMERICAN ANIMAL RIGHTS/HOLOCAUST BOOK ATTRACTING INTERNATIONAL ATTENTION
ETERNAL TREBLINKA: Our Treatment of Animals and the Holocaust
by Charles Patterson, Ph.D.
Lantern Books, New York, 2002 (2nd printing)
ISBN: 1-930051-99-9
http://www.EternalTreblinka.com
WHAT THEY'RE SAYING--
"Compelling, controversial, iconoclastic...strongly recommended...a unique contribution."
--Midwest Book Review
"The moral challenge posed by Eternal Treblinka turns it into a must for anyone who seeks to delve into the universal lesson of the Holocaust."
--Maariv (Israeli newspaper)
"Eternal Treblinka disturbs us because (inevitably though tactfully) it holds up to us, its readers, a clear mirror to look at ourselves anew...Kafka would have applauded Eternal Treblinka. It grips like a thriller." --The Freethinker (UK)
"There are good books...entertaining, useful, informative; great books...whose message reveals a fundamental truth previously unknown or overlooked; and important books...that can save lives and ameliorate suffering: Eternal Treblinka is all three." --Satya Magazine, New York City
"A thorough and thought-provoking book" --Ha'aretz (Israeli newspaper)
"Every so often a book is written that has the potential to make an incredible difference. Eternal Treblinka is one such book." --N. Glenn Perrett
"Hard to read--but a must read!--how mistreatment of animals leads to the dehumanization and extermination of people as 'mere animals.' Well-written and respectful of both Judaism and the Holocaust." --Rabbi Yonassan Gershom
"It is seldom that such a comprehensive work of scholarship springs from a heart of compassion in the service of a noble and necessary idea. All the ingredients of your thesis--that the oppression of animals serves as the model for all other forms of oppression--have been available to thinking people for generations, but it remained for you to pull them together."
--Helen Weaver, author of The Daisy Sutra
"Eternal Treblinka should be on every list of essential reading for an informed citizenry...for the compelling comprehensiveness of the life-and-death story it tells."
--National Jewish Post & Opinion
"Necessary reading matter...very thought-provoking."
--Süddeutsche Zeitung (Germany)
"...promises to be one of the most influential books of the 21st century."
--Dr. Karen Davis, United Poultry Concerns
"Powerful, moving, gut-wrenching, brilliant--destined to be a classic"
--Aviva Cantor, journalist and author
"The book that breaks all taboos. The book that fires up controversies all over the world."
--Prijatelji Zivotinja (Zagreb, Croatia)
"This book is going to change the world."
--Albert Kaplan, Johns Island, SC

“The exploitation and slaughter of animals is the core oppression from
which all others flow.”
--Charles Patterson
I posted this tripe here so that the dirty laundry wouldn't be out in the open. Had a beautiful ribeye last night and thought the idea of an eternal Treblinka wasn't harsh enough. There wasn't any cannibalism there, after all, and the meat was cooked through.
Anyway, at work I cannot remove all that stuff on -main-. If you want, kill it yourself or I will later if it's OK with you.
Totally cool, JJ. Snip it when you can. I posted in haste as I wanted to get a big ass coffee before class this morning.
This would be an interesting book to read; that is, if I didn't give a shit about how I used my time. I think I may just ask the guy to send me a copy via my department. I can add it to my Insanity Shelf on my book case. These Deep Ecologist types are a riot.
Big ass coffee! The Eternal Colombia!
JJ, they allow Big Ass coffee refills, so it was the Eternal Columbia Return!
Note: I did a google search with the words, "Eternal Columbia Return," and it produced this, which I'm adding words to so it is more apparent.
Stochastic results in an interesting that way.
And that's just the med school. What about the school of journalism?
Yeah, it looks like Sensationalism has been moving papers since the get-go.
