Animal Metropolis

Animal Metropolis brings a Canadian perspective to the growing field of animal history, ranging across species and cities to forward a historiography that considers the eclectic contacts, exchanges, and cohabitation of human and nonhuman animals.

From the beavers who engineered Stanley Park to the carthorses who shaped the city of Montreal, the spectacle of orca captivity in Vancouver to the maternal politics of pure milk in Hamilton, this fascinating collection offers a timely and provocative exploration of Canada and its denizens.
