How to Be Animal: A New History of What It Means to Be Human
Why do humans have such a troubled relationship with being an animal, and how can we go about building a better one . . . ?
Blending nature writing, history, and moral philosophy, How to Be Animal is both a fascinating reappraisal of what it means to be human, and a robust defense of what it means to be an animal.
"A deep and beautiful reflection of our own awareness as a species. It is also a reminder that human exceptionalism can be a dangerous beast. After reading this book you will not only become more 'animal,' but ultimately, you will become more human." -- Ziya Tong, science broadcaster and author of The Reality Bubble
