Greg Goodale's new book contributes to a growing interest in distinctions and identities between the human and the animal in communication theory. He addresses questions of what it is to communicate and to be human in interesting and forward-thinking ways. This volume should appeal to a wide variety of scholars in communication and rhetorical studies. -- Barry Brummett, University of Texas-Austin

Greg Goodale's new book contributes to a growing interest in distinctions and identities between the human and the animal in communication theory. He addresses questions of what it is to communicate and to be human in interesting and forward-thinking ways. This volume should appeal to a wide variety of scholars in communication and rhetorical studies. -- Barry Brummett, University of Texas-Austin In this pathbreaking book, Greg Goodale takes us on a fascinating tour of the many ways in which humans, since the Age of Reason have attempted to distinguish ourselves from nature, and in particular from other animals. Digging through medieval archives in search of a different way of understanding the world, Goodale discovers that the concept of Man is an invention that has only existed for a few centuries and is likely to soon be replaced by a more enlightened way of understanding the world. -- Aysha Akhtar, author of Animals and Public Health: Why Treating Animals Better is Critical to Human Welfare
