Description
This is a comprehensive guide to the history of human interaction with the creatures of the earth, air, and water.
This book provides historical perspective on mankind's complicated relationship with all creatures, from tiny insects to larger beasts.
From the alligator to the wryneck, key animals from every continent are profiled, with articles focusing on how different cultures viewed the creatures with which they shared land, and the ones they considered omens of gods and devils.
In addition to the numerous articles on specific animals, there are also entries on the role of animals in Christian art, and how shamans took the form and power of animals in key ceremonies.
The work is highly illustrated, and subjects of major interest are provided with individual bibliographies of further reading on the subject at the end of each article.
