This is an account of Western man's often contradictory attitudes toward the animal kingdom. It starts with the beginning of civilization when humans still felt spiritually close to the animal world, through the pagan and Judeo-Christian attitude of animals as inferior objects to be exploited at will to development in the 19th and 20th centuries of the concept of kindness to animals as an ethical obligation. 268 pages; 16 pages of b&w photos and reproductions; 6.5 x 9 inches.
