This book explores the rise of ubiquitous zoological references in law, literature, and popular culture. The author considers the way in which animals serve as stand-ins for humans, structuring our understanding of social power and the body, property, and the criminal justice system. The book examines how animals are used as metaphors, engaging with ideas around the animal in nature, and the animal as food, collectible, or experimental subject. Through concise and engaging prose, the author uncovers the centrality of animals to our own self-understanding, and the corresponding ways in which our understanding of animals has shifted across time.
