Reviews

The text is beautifully crafted and structured and the language is poetic. The text is illustrated with simple, useful diagrams that illustrate key arguments, as well as carefully chosen black-and-white photographs. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it, learned a great deal, and have already recommended it to students of human-animal relations as essential reading. -Joanna Setchell, Durham University, Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute (N.S.) 22, 1-37, Royal Anthropological Institute 2016.
