As I'm preparing for my winterbreak in Europa, I went today through a pile of old papers and lo and behold - there was the article that described the book .
"Pleasurable Kingdom" by Dr. Jonathan Balcombe. Looks exactly like the book I will look for when killing time on the airport.
So there. One piece of my mind has been brought to rest.
Anyone read it perchance?
Pleasuarble Kingdom ... is well written and pleasurably light reading. It makes an interesting point that we might not normally consider. There's nothing at all wrong with this book, and anyone with an interest in animal welfare (or just in animals) certainly ought to read it. My hesitation to give it a higher rating is just a feeling that as science this isn't too exciting. But that doesn't spoil the enjoyment of reading it. I may even read it to my cat...
