Description

Explore the intricate relationship between humans and animals throughout history with this comprehensive examination of how our dependency on other species has shaped both human and animal health. Joanna Swabe presents a historical and sociological perspective on animal domestication, the consequences of human exploitation of animals, and the critical links between human and animal disease transmission. The book traces the rise of veterinary medicine as a protective regime for both species, and examines the modern implications of intensive farming practices, pet-keeping, and biotechnological advances. Spanning approximately ten thousand years, this Routledge academic work provides essential insights into how our interactions with animals have fundamentally influenced the development of medical and social systems.
