11/17/08: PETA's INGRID NEWKIRK IN EUGENE FOR BOOKSIGNING
Imagine how different the world would be if every single person did just one thing---anything---to help. In Ingrid E. Newkirk's inspiring new book, One Can Make a Difference: How Simple Actions Can Change the World, you will find more than 50 thought-provoking original essays, some written by an intriguing, diverse group of stars—including supermodel Petra Nemcova, Sir Paul McCartney, Willie Nelson, Brigitte Bardot, His Holiness The Dalai Lama, White House correspondent, Helen Thomas, and director Oliver Stone.
The book also includes essays written by people you might never have heard of, including a student who once hid behind a sofa during the Teineman Square revolt but who now goes onto the ice to rescue seals, the woman who "ran away to join the circus" and now runs a sanctuary for abused elephants in Tennessee, a retiree who overcame countless obstacles to create the first-ever dog park, and a performance artist who wouldn't let a kitten die stuck in a chimney. The stories will motivate anyone who seeks to make a positive impact on our world.
You are invited to join Ms. Newkirk in Eugene for a book signing and discussion on Monday, 11/17/08, 7pm, Border's Books, 5 Oakway Center, Eugene.
If you can't attend, One Can Make a Difference is available at PETACatalog.com and in your local bookstore.
