Papers from a June 1998 symposium at an animal production conference in Korea are augmented by essays commissioned to round out the coverage. Contributors from agriculture, food sciences, and philosophy address such concerns as why livestock ethics and quality of life are important, their place in larger systems of food production and philosophy, agribusiness and consumer ethical concerns, an alternative ethic for animals, poverty and the quality of rural life, the intensification of agriculture and free trade, development in Latin America and Africa, and the food-feed dimensions of grain demand in Asia. --SciTech Book News<br>
