Two new
books
In April of this year,
Slingshot Publications will bring out two new books.
The first, SKEWED
by Martin Walker is an investigation into the psychiatric lobby which maintains
that Myalgic Encephalomyelitis and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome are psychiatric
illnesses. The book also examines the arguments of psychiatrists and other 'experts'
on Gulf War Syndrome and Multiple Chemical Sensitivity. The book argues that
it is the chemical and pharmaceutical companies as well as psychiatric professionals
who have most to gain in determining that these illnesses are not organically
based. SKEWED is Martin
Walker's longest work after Dirty Medicine.
The second book is Slaughter
of the Innocent by Hans Ruesch. This book, which was last published in
England over twenty years ago can safely be described as the seminal book of
the modern abolitionist anti-vivisection movement. It reviews and critiques
both the historical and contemporary circumstances of vivisection. It is a completely
uncompromising treatise against those who exploit, torture and kill animals.
This edition will have a new introduction common to other Hans Ruesch books
that Slingshot intends to re-publish over the coming year.
In order to raise money
for the printing of SKEWED, we are offering copies of both these titles at £5,
to anyone who, prior to, or during printing, (before the end of the first week
in May) buys ten copies or more of either book in any combination. This offer
will be particularly useful to organisations and groups which need to raise
money for campaigning. The offer is also open to bookshops.
Those who don't think that
they can pass on ten books or more could register as the first associate members
of Slingshot. For £50 they will receive copies of at least three books
published this year by Slingshot plus one copy of A Cat In Hell's Chance. Next
year, it will be possible to renew this associate membership, for next years
books, at around £20. Any cheques should be made out to Slingshot Publications
and sent to the address above. If you are able to distribute order forms and
flyers for these books please tell us and send your land address, any address
lists for relevant individuals and organisations will be useful.
We look forward to hearing
from you and hope that with your help we will be able to raise the printing
cost of these two books.
