Krátky popis
The earliest evidence of a human and a pet can be traced as far
back as 26,000 BC in France where a boy and his 'canid' took a walk
through a cave. Their foot and paw prints were preserved together
on the muddy cave floor, and smoke from the torch the boy carried
was left on the walls, allowing archaeologists to carbon-date their
journey. And so, the story unfolds, from these prehistoric days all
the way up to the present, of humans' innate and undeniable need to
live in the close company of animals.In this startling new work,
acclaimed cultural detective and life-long pet owner Jacky Colliss
Harvey uses her compelling story-telling skills and keen eye for
historical investigation to examine our role as animals'
companions, in this exploration of the history not of the pet, but
of us as pet-owners.Drawing on literary, artistic and
archaeological evidence of our relationships with other species,
over thousands of years of human experience, she examines the when,
the how and the why of our connection to those animals we take into
our lives, assessing these against the latest scientific thinking
on this complex and enthralling subject, and suggesting new
insights into this most long-standing of all human love-affairs.
