Answers:
There is "Living Among the Meat Eaters: The Vegetarian's Survival Handbook," which helps a vegetarian/vegan deal in a wold of family, friends and strangers giving rude, and flawed attacks on your lifestyle. (This helps at what seems to be a very big topic on this forum.) It also has recipes. It is a very calm and compassionate book with chapters such as:
Are You at Peace
Judgment, Guilt and Anger,
Sabotage and other Meat Eating Defenses
Love at work- Living with the Meat Eaters
Grace at Work- Eating with the Meat Eaters
Being the Mover, Not the Moved
Another crazy, amazing book is "The Pornography of Meat." I was stunned when I read that book. It has wonderful pictures and shows/explains the similarities and history of how our culture treats women/meat, including how we (literally or figuratively) cut each up so we see only pieces and parts we can consume, as opposed to whole beings.
Finally, I would suggest "Vegan Freak: Being Vegan in a Non-Vegan world." It is a very interesting read, but do not feel discouraged if you do not/ cannot live up to their ideals. As you know, being Vegan is a process, but being 100% Vegan is impossible. It even has a chapter on how to deal with vegetarians, and a list of vegan and non-vegan things, e.g. mono-diglicerides= not vegan.
"Going Vegan" by Linda Blair is a very good book!! http://www.lindablair.com/shop.htm...
If you are already vegan or trying to I would suggest ordering the book at this website http://veganfreak.com/index.php?s=toc... . These guys are great.
I started with The Vegan Source book http://www.amazon.com/vegan-sourcebook-j... .
