The Cultural History of Animals presents an innovative and compelling introduction to current scholarship about the historical relationships between people and other animals. Harriet Ritvo, Arthur J. Conner Professor of History, M.I.T. An innovative and ambitious project that synthesises knowledge of animals as living creatures and their symbolic representations... an invaluable contribution to our understanding... A combination of surprise and entertainment with serious research gives these volumes a place in the best tradition of accessible science. Bernd Huppauf, New York University for H-Soz-u-Kult High quality editing, clear writing, and abundant visual illustrations ... These volumes will be basic to future scholarship dealing with animals and society. Essential. Choice Provide informative and enjoyable reading, and should inculcate desires for histories of animals in other cultures and elaborations of histories already presented. Each volume is attractive and well made, and has its own (thorough) bibliography. Robert W. Mitchell, Anthrozoos (Volume 22, Issue 3)
