More About the Author
In the mid-1990s, I wasn't happy with the accuracy of a lot of the pro-vegetarian literature, so I set about writing _Vegan: The New Ethics of Eating_, which was published in 1998. That same year, I began publishing the Vegan.com website, which today includes my daily blog plus a number of other resources.
In 2005, I came out with another vegan-oriented title, _Meat Market: Animals, Ethics, & Money_. This book involved a tremendous amount of research and has a more activist-oriented focus than my first book. Also, I decided I wanted to personally oversee every aspect of this book, so I self-published it and personally handled the book's typography, indexing, and printing/binding decisions.
In 2009, I self-published my third book on the topic, _The Ultimate Vegan Guide: Compassionate Living Without Sacrifice._ This book takes a breezier and more conversational approach to writing than I did in my first two books. My intention with this last book was to share what I've learned during 20+ years of vegan living, so that anyone can enjoy a quick, easy, and healthful transition. I released a second, updated edition of this book in 2011.
Also in 2011, I released: _A Vegan History: 1944-2010_ a short eBook that covers the major events occurring in the vegan movement since the word's coinage in 1944. It's my hope that readers of this book will gain perspective on how the movement's progress has constantly accelerated, as well as an understanding of the various projects and strategies that have proven most effective.
The focus of my work is to inspire people to become, not just vegan, but effective animal advocates. I believe it's within reach of all of us to keep hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of animals out of factory farms slaughterhouses.
I devote most of my time to updating Vegan.com. When I'm not busy with that I enjoy cooking, reading, NetFlix, and a variety of outdoor activities.

A great simple guide to the basics!,
This review is from: The Ultimate Vegan Guide: Compassionate Living Without Sacrifice (Paperback)
I really enjoyed this book. Erik's first book "Vegan: The New Ethics of Eating" is what originally got me to go vegan in the first place. His writing style is simple and accessible. Unfortunately, after a year i had a bit of a spotty vegan record.I decided i needed to recommit and proly just lost sight of why i went vegan in the first place. I re-read "Vegan" and got this book too. I am right back on track. This is not only a GREAT read for someone interested in Veganism, it is great for relatively new vegans also. It has some great simple advice on how to prepare yourself and your life for the change. I really loved that chapter that dealt with cravings. It's a wonderful introduction to living a cruelty free and compassionate lifestyle :D Thanks Erik for writing another winner!

This review is from: The Ultimate Vegan Guide: Compassionate Living Without Sacrifice (Kindle Edition)
Erik Marcus' guide to being vegan is a matter-of-fact, helpful approach for us everyday, run of the mill, vegans next door. Guides like "Vegan Freak" are amusing, but the tone can be a turn-off for anyone not into the punk scene. I appreciate Marcus' care for the reader's personal health and step-by-step approach to making a smooth transition. For those who are already vegan it's a practical refresher on nutrition, smart activism; including good ideas for quickie stir-fries, sandwiches and smoothies with a bonus recipe for cashew cheese in the appendix. I also found a lot of online resources I wasn't aware of like barnivore.com and restaurant reviews through yelp.When I want well-researched, good-humored, intelligent vegan information I turn to Erik Marcus.

This review is from: The Ultimate Vegan Guide: Compassionate Living Without Sacrifice (Second Edition) (Paperback)
How great that the kindle version of this book is only 99 cents! I bought the paperback edition to have at home and then spent that extra dollar to have it on the kindle ap on my iphone as well.I'm also buying copies for friends who are kind of on-the-fence about vegan diet--wanting to take the plunge but feeling unsure about whether they can do it. This book is so non-judgmental and reassuring, and so packed with practical tips, that I think it will give many aspiring vegans the confidence they need to take that first step. It's a worthwhile purchase for vegan activists and educators, too--a great manual on how to help others go vegan. Highly recommended for seasoned vegans, newbies, and anyone who is just starting to think about going vegan.
