As deftly written, organized and presented, as it is inherently interesting, thoughtful and thought-provoking, How to Burn a Goat: Farming with the Philosophers is a unique and unreservedly recommended addition to both community and academic library Contemporary Philosophy collections and supplemental curriculum reading lists. -- "The Midwest Book Review" Moore's writing is entertaining and clear. He has a narrative gift combined with the technical training of a philosopher that allows him to clearly identify and analyze premises in thinking. --Karl C. Schaffenburg "University Bookman"
