Veganissimo A to Z
A Comprehensive Guide to identifyinG And AvoidinG inGredients of AnimAl oriGin in everydAy produCts
Reuben Proctor and Lars Thomsen
An essential new resource for everyone who wants to reduce their animal footprinthere are 2,500 detailed A-to-Z entries on ingredients derived from animals, in food and countless other everyday products
Veganissimoit is a new word to describe someone who is vegan to the highest possible standard. For the aspiring veganissimo, the requirements go far beyond food: Animal-derived ingredients are also used in dietary supplements, pharmaceuticals, beer and wine, cosmetics, household cleaning products, clothing, footwear, sporting goods, art supplies, electronics, and more. But without a definitive reference, its hard to know what exactly is in most of the foods and other items we use and consume on a daily basis. Now, that reference is here: Veganissimo A to Z identifies more than 2,500 animal, mineral, chemical, and plant-based ingredients; describes their production, uses, and alternative names; and helps readers interpret label claims and seek more information. Colorcoded icons and extensive cross-references make this a user-friendly handbook for everyone who wants to know whether a particular ingredient is (or may be) animal derived and what (if any) plant-based substitutes exist.
Vegan since 2000, REUBEN PROCTOR has worked with vegan companies and animal rights organizations since 2004. LARS THOMSEN is a pioneering animal rights activist and vegan advocate. He has been vegan since 1990. They have been researching this book for the past four years. also available: 8-copy counter display ($127.60 U.S. | 978-1-61519-071-3 | No. 779071; $151.60 Can. | 978-1-61519-072-0 | No. 779072)

rguably no other American runner can claim a broader vantage from which to capture our love for running than Ed Ayres, whose lifelong experience as a runner exactly overlaps with our countrys infatuation with the sport. Ayres has been running competitively for over 55 years; he placed third in the first New York City marathon and has competed in over 600 long-distance races. The Longest Race takes readers alongside Ayres as he runs the 2001 JFK 50-mile race, the nations oldest ultramarathon, at a then recordbreaking time for his age division, 60 and older. But setting records has never preoccupied Ayres (case in point: he won the JFK-50 in 1977, a fact he mentions only fleetingly). Instead, Ayres focuses on the subject of endurancehis own, his fellow runners, and, tracing back to the origins of human endurance, that of our oldest ancestors.
