Contemporary Studies in Human-Animal Relations
Redaktion: Freeman, Carol; Watt, Yvette; Leane, Elizabeth

Produktbeschreibung

Taking their cue from the specific 'animal moments' that punctuate our relationships with nonhuman animals, experts from the biological sciences, humanities, and social sciences engage with issues and debates central to human-animal studies. Considering Animals brings together contemporary international case studies from across the globe that examine our interactions with animals. Given current discussions about the status of animals and the widespread extinction of species, this is an important and timely collection.
