We received 13 more volumes in Animal, which is such a delightful series of little books. Not strictly biological in focus, though most of them are classified within the zoology area of the collection, "each book in the series takes a different animal and examines its role in history around the world. The importance of mythology, religion and science are described as is the history of food, the trade in animals and their products, pets, exhibition, film and photography, and their roles in the artistic and literary imagination."They are just the antidote for anyone who needs a break from midterms! Take one with you for Spring Break. It will fit in any corner of your backpack or suitcase. Find them all on OBIS with the Title search: Animal (Reaktion Books). [see all the new books on display]
