This eccentric exploration into the human and animal relationship is lyrically dazzling and wildly adventurous. Through a collection of essays, Elena Passarello captures our multifaceted and curious association with animals by recounting notable beasts throughout history in chronological order, from Yuka the Wooly Mammoth to Cecil the Lion. Passarello illustrates the complicated bond between us creatures with inventiveness that inspires deep contemplation. Perfect for the intellectually curious animal lover! (HC)
