People and Wildlife

We live in a world filled with fascinating plants and animals, each adapted to environments that range from freezing arctic tundras to humid tropical forests. Our world is also home to more than seven billion people, a number added to every day. Each of us puts pressure on the environment and the space left for wildlife. At its most extreme, every aspect of the environment has been influenced by people's choices, and nowhere more so than the urban areas where most people live. Urban areas are full of people playing and working. They are also full of animals and plants, often living secret lives that go unnoticed. Our interactions with wildlife are often determined by our desire to get close ...

The Palgrave Handbook of Animals and Literature

This volume is the first comprehensive guide to current research on animals, animality, and human-animal relations in literature. To reflect the history of literary animal studies to date, its primary focus is literary prose and poetry in English, while also accommodating emergent discussions of the full range of media and contexts with which literary studies engages, especially film and critical theory. User-friendly language, references, even suggestions for further readings are included to help newcomers to the field understand how it has taken shape primarily through recent decades. To further aid teachers, sections are organized by conventions of periodization, and chapters address a range of canonical and popular texts. Bookended by sections devoted to the field’s conceptual foundations and new directions, the volume is designed to set an agenda for literary animal studies for decades to come.

This book places lion conservation and the relationship between people and lions both in historical context and in the context of the contemporary politics of conservation in Africa. The killing of Cecil the Lion in July 2015 brought such issues to the public’s attention. Were lions threatened in the wild and what was the best form of conservation? How best can lions be saved from extinction in the wild in Africa amid rural poverty, precarious livelihoods for local communities and an expanding human population? This book traces man’s relationship with lions through history, from hominids, to the Romans, through colonial occupation and independence, to the present day. It concludes with a...
