Wilson J. Warren's richly detailed book is a model of comparative history. Not only does it show how meat became the edible symbol of Japan and China's modernization / westernization in the twentieth century, but it is a wonderful study of how the world food system developed as well as ongoing problems with it. --Bruce Kraig, author, A Rich and Fertile Land: A History of Food in America The field of food studies has recently been attracting considerable attention from scholars in different fields, yet research on animals is one topic that continues to receive insufficient attention. Thus, Warren's book is a pioneering one that should stimulate scholars' interest in this topic. --Chung-Hao Pio Kuo, Center for General Education, Taipei Medical University
