Synopsis

The Animals Reader brings together key classic and contemporary writings from philosophy, ethics, sociology, cultural studies, anthropology, environmental studies, history, law and science. Providing a framework for understanding the state of the multidisciplinary field of animal studies, the second edition contains updated content reflecting the developments in research and theory in the field that have emerged in the ten years since publication of the first edition.

With new chapters from Peter Singer, Carol Gigliotto, Jacques Derrida and Irus Braverman, and new topics covered including the connection between animal abuse and interpersonal violence and human-animal relations, this book is the go-to resource for students of animal studies. Extracts are from academic texts and more popular texts alike as readers are given a sense of how human-animal relations have been understood and critiqued through time.

Helpful pedagogical features specific to this edition include:

- an explanatory updated Editors Introduction
- updated introductions to each extract, with details about the author of that piece and the context of their writing
- further reading suggestions at the end of each section, updated to reflect new scholarship.

With favourite chapters from the first edition preserved, this second edition has all the required new content to bring The Animals Reader fully up to date.
