Moving away from the philosophical, fictional and humanitarian sources used by previous animal studies, it focuses on evidence of tangible, dung-bespattered interactions between real people and animals, drawn from legal, parish, commercial, newspaper and private records.This approach opens up new perspectives on unfamiliar or misunderstood metropolitan spaces, activities, social types, relationships and cultural developments. Ultimately, the book challenges traditional assumptions about the industrial, agricultural and consumer revolutions, as well as key aspects of the city’s culture, social relations and physical development. It will be stimulating reading for students and professional scholars of urban, social, economic, agricultural, industrial, architectural and environmental history.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 216mmItem Length: 138mmAuthor: Thomas Almeroth-WilliamsGenre: HistoryBook Series: Manchester University PressTopic: Social Sciences, Science Nature & Math, Technology & Engineering, Society & CultureItem Width: 17mmItem Weight: 381gRelease Year: 2020 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
