Rating:  - Cutting Edge Vegan Sourcebook
Exhaustive but not exhausting! Davis and Melina fill in other vegan authors' blanks. Panoramic in scope, crystal clear in presentation. Responsible, politically-neutral analysis of the vegan paradigm - and as such, a tactful and diplomatic introduction of vegan eating for a general reader. Chapters that struck me as being particularly well executed and/or having a relatively unique focus: "Prospecting for Minerals," "Building Vegan Dynamos" (pregnancy), "Growing Vegans" (for the little ones), ...

Outstanding You: Discover, Design and Achieve Ultimate Fitness
I wish I'd had a chance to get a hold of this book earlier in my vegan lifestyle. It's been 12 years since I started down this vegetarian path - and I can assure you, it was tough at times. Reading this book years into my new lifestyle, I was thrilled to have the kind of support and reassurance this book provides. I recommend it for anyone starting or new to a vegetarian/vegan lifestyle. I'm the author of Outstanding You ... Read More
Rating: - Important Info
I borrowed this book from the library and renewed it twice. I finally decided it was essential to have in my own library. It covers nutritional needs and opinions. Full of useful info for people becoming vegan the answers to many of your friends questions. Worth the money hands down.
Rating: - Everything I expected, which was a good thing
This is not a book of emotional testimonials of how people's lives dramatically improved with their change in diet. It is about the facts, the statistics, the things I can tell the people in my personal life about when they ask me 'why go vegan?'
It's also shown me what foods I can intake and what supplements I should look into to complete a balanced diet.
I highly recommend this book to those wondering why so many people are going vegan and to those who are already vegan and want to get ... Read More
Rating: - Very well-done and thorough!
I am very impressed with this book. I became interested in veganism after quite a bit of research into the treatment of animals in slaughterhouses, egg farms, etc. As a professed animal lover, I just could not bring myself to support that industry anymore. The Becoming Vegan book explained so much more to further solidify my conviction. I especially appreciate the section on how to "fit in" at gatherings with friends and family.
