Description: "People say, 'Oh, it's easy for you to make an impact. But I'm no one of importance. No one would listen to me.' If I have learned anything, it is that they are wrong. Dead wrong. The world is just waiting to hear from them, just as it is waiting to hear from you." —Ingrid Newkirk. PETA founder Ingrid Newkirk almost single-handedly set into motion the largest animal-rights organization in the world, and knows that one person can make a difference. In this edition, she has collected the wisdom, stories, and insight of dozens of activists and world-changers (including His Holiness The Dalai Lama, Paul McCartney, and Brigitte Bardot) who have proven that one person can make a movement. This engaging and enlightening collection is a call to action for readers everywhere. Because one can make a difference.
