The November-December Peaceable Table is now online

[Gracia Fay Ellwood]

Dear Animal Kin,

In this issue you will find:

• The Glimpse of the Peaceable Kingdom tells of four tiny infant squirrels adopted by a queen cat in Crimea.
• In the Editor's Corner Essay, some comparisons are made between the psychology of rescuers of Jewish refugees during WWII with that of rescuers of animals facing "slaughter," i.e. massacre.
• In Unset Gems, we hear word of a surprising potential ally in promoting compassion for animals:  art.
• Gina Cerminara, better known as a writer on parapsychology, is our Pioneer in compassion in this issue.  She was in fact a Renaissance woman, and engaged in several other compassionate projects as well.
• The subject of Robert Ellwood's Review, The Last Rhinos by Lawrence Anthony and Graham Spence, offers adventure as well as information about the last project of a fearless animal defender.  Although the rhinos of central Africa were, tragically, not saved, another remarkable benefit did take place.
• You're sure to enjoy the ragout in this Recipe from Kate Carpenter, full of familiar ingredients delightfully combined.
• Both Poetry selections are likely to sound familiar to many of you; we have featured both the fragment of William Blake's "Auguries of Innocence" and George MacDonald's "A Christmas Prayer."
