Placing Animals - An Introduction to the Geography of Human-Animal Relations

Informationen zum Autor Julie Urbanik is assistant teaching professor in the Department of Geosciences at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. Klappentext Placing Animals is the first book to survey the ways in which animals have been studied in geography. It includes both a historical overview of the development of animal geography and an assessment of the field today. Through the theme of the role of place in shaping where and why human-animal interactions occur, the chapters in turn explore the history of animal geography and our distinctive relationships in the home, on farms, in the context of labor, in the wider culture, and in the wild.
