Inspirational books

I would like to recommend the following books as particularly informative and inspirational:

The Great Compassion: Buddhism and Animal Rights by Norm Phelps
I am interested in Buddhism and found this book covered the much debated question of whether Buddhists should be vegetarian very thoroughly.

Bloodless Revolution: radical vegetarians and the discovery of India by Tristram Stuart
This book covers vegetarian history in a very methodical way. I learnt a lot about some very interesting characters who were waving the vegetarian flag centuries ago.

Extended Circle: Dictionary of Humane Thought by Jon Wynne-TysonThis is a reference book of thoughts and quotations on the theme of animal rights and vegetarian ethics
