Reviews
[P]rovides an important reminder and even a blueprint for how all historians might contend with the experiences of animals and the consequences of human-animal relationships in the Anthropocene., "Bellwether Histories as a whole provides a rich and generative contribution to the burgeoning field of "more-than-human histories."", The chapters in this volume are sensitive to the historical animal experience of living and dying in the capitalist hubristic system. . . . The collection should be on the standard reading lists for graduate students. Many of the chapters . . . are compelling histories that could certainly work at the undergraduate level as well., Accessible and engaging, this volume would be of interest to environmental and United States history scholars and could be used in an American environmental history course. Each essay can stand on its own and various chapters could contribute to gender studies, western history, war and society, or other specialized scholarship and syllabi., " Bellwether Histories as a whole provides a rich and generative contribution to the burgeoning field of "more-than-human histories.""

Synopsis
Explores ecological crises and extinctions that have shaped US history A multispecies history of the globalized United States, Bellwether Histories reveals how animals have been ensnared in colonialism, capitalism, and environmental destruction as human decisions created and perpetuated untenable and unequal interspecies relationships. The collection's authors explore how people misunderstood or ignored animal crises precipitated by habitat destruction and population declines, sudden dependence on human aid, shifts from freedom to captivity, or subjection to overextended management systems. Chapters address a range of themes, including the links between antislavery and anti-animal-cruelty advocacy; how cattle, horse, and pig behavior shaped human life and technology; and the politics of caring for and trafficking wild animals. This volume interrogates the history of animal disposability and its ideological twin in US history, human exceptionalism--the anthropocentric myth that people could harm animals without harming themselves. Today's mass extinctions and ecological breakdowns ensure deadly zoonotic pandemics and global warming will harass us far into the future. Bellwether Histories looks back at how animals have been warning us of our collective fate and asks why they were so seldom heard., Explores ecological crises and extinctions that have shaped US history A multispecies history of the globalized United States, Bellwether Histories reveals how animals have been ensnared in colonialism, capitalism, and environmental destruction as human decisions created and perpetuated untenable and unequal interspecies relationships.

Price was very competitive, & the book was accurately listed. Great communication. I appreciate the seller getting back to me when I was having trouble tracking the book's delivery progress. Apparently there were 2 different tracking numbers - one in Canada & the other in the U.S., since it was initially shipped from Canada. Thank you very much for your quick response & helpful information.Rethinking Investing: A Very Short Guide to Very Long-Term Investing by Charles (#396183075510)
- e***_ (15)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseSeller handles a massive inventory so I give them grace on the slow processing and shipping. They were very communicative and prompt with their response when I messaged in asking about it. Book was in good condition as described. Small ding on the page edges which wasn't mentioned, but that's fairly common even at your typical book store. Still a good value and I'd buy from them again.
