Mark Hawthorne is the author of several seminal animal advocacy books, including Striking at the Roots: A Practical Guide to Animal Activism, whose 10th Anniversary edition was published by Changemakers Books in 2018. Mark stopped eating meat after an encounter with one of India’s many cows in 1992 and became an ethical vegan a decade later. He and his wife, Lauren, live in Rohnert Park, California.
"I was delighted from the first page to the last. From Easter Bunny
origin stories to the presence of lagomorphs in literature and the
arts, rabbits in popular culture come alive through Mark
Hawthorne's gentle and funny prose--and even better, so does the
sweetness and intelligence of real rabbits. Rabbits in nature,
rabbits in the house, they're all here and exceptionally good
company."--Barbara J. King, Author of Animals' Best Friends:
Putting Compassion to Work for Animals in Captivity and in the
Wild
"Rabbits are everywhere and nowhere, often glimpsed but seldom seen
for what and who they are. In The Way of the Rabbit, Mark Hawthorne
gracefully helps us see our small-bodied, big-eared co-voyagers in
a new light. If you love rabbits, he will deepen your
understanding. If you don't love rabbits--you soon will."--Carl
Safina, Author of Becoming Wild: How Animal Cultures Raise
Families, Create Beauty, and Achieve Peace
"What a lovely tribute to our furry rabbit friends! Hawthorne's
admiration shines through in this thorough telling of the story of
Leporidae. It's an enlightening and enchanting account of an animal
most of us love but, it turns out, barely know."--Jennifer S.
Holland, Author of the Unlikely Friendships series
