Good Condition. Gently used copy with only minor signs of wear. Clean and fresh contents mostly. Firm, secure bindings. Publisher's note: "The boundaries between human and beast forged a rugged philosophical landscape across early modern England. Spectators gathered in London's Bear Garden to watch the callous and brutal baiting of animals. A wave of "new" scientists performed vivisections on live animals to learn more about the human body." "In Perceiving Animals, the British scholar Erica Fudge traces the dangers and problems of anthropocentrism in texts written from 1558 to 1649. Meticulous examinations of scientific, legal, political, literary, and religious writings offer unique and fascinating depictions of human perceptions about the natural world."--BOOK JACKET Size: 21.4 x 14.1 x 1.8 cm. x, 233 pp. Shipped Weight: Under 500 grams.
