An Introduction to the Geography of Human-Animal Relations
Focusing on the intersection of geography and animal studies, this book provides a comprehensive survey of animal geography's evolution and current state. It examines how place influences human-animal interactions across various contexts, including domestic settings, agricultural environments, labor dynamics, cultural representations, and wildlife. The chapters offer a historical perspective while highlighting the unique relationships humans have formed with animals throughout different settings.
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.
