The Hebrew Bible offers countless examples of how God intends for us to have a compassionate and caring attitude toward animals, our health, and the health of the planet. This attitude, as Richard Schwartz shows in this fully revised third edition of his pioneering work, has been a constant theme throughout Judaism to the present day. Indeed, Judaism’s particular concern for "tikkun olam," a healing of the world, has never been more urgent than today — given the current state of world hunger, environmental degradation, and the horror of factory farms.
Richard H. Schwartz, Ph.D., is Professor Emeritus of Mathematics at the College of Staten Island, New York. He is the author of Mathematics and Global Survival and Judaism and Global Survival.
