Last year Edgar Crook, of Canberra, Australia, published his book
'Vegetarianism in Australia: 1788-1948 - a cultural history'. This
is an excellent, fascinating, and very readable account of the long
struggle for acceptance of vegetarianism in a country that exports
huge quantities of meat.
Edgar has now revised and extended the book, bringing it right up
date - and has made the entire book freely available on IVU. It is
divided into 19 PDF files for ease of downloading and reading.
