{"product_id":"villain-vermin-icon-kin-1","title":"Villain, Vermin, Icon, Kin","description":"\u003cp\u003eA wolf's howl is felt in the body. Frightening and compelling, incomprehensible or entirely knowable, it is a sound that may be heard as threat or invitation but leaves no listener unaffected.\u003cbr\u003e Toothsome fiends, interfering pests, or creatures wild and free, wolves have been at the heart of Canada's national story since long before Confederation. \u003ci\u003eVillain, Vermin, Icon, Kin\u003c\/i\u003e contends that the role in which wolves have been cast – monster or hero – has changed dramatically through time. Exploring the social history of wolves in Canada, Stephanie Rutherford weaves an innovative tapestry from the varied threads of historical and contemporary texts, ideas, and practices in human-wolf relations, from provincial bounties to Farley Mowat's iconic \u003ci\u003eNever Cry Wolf\u003c\/i\u003e. These examples reveal that Canada was made, in part, through relationships with nonhuman animals. \u003cbr\u003e Wolves have always captured the human imagination. In sketching out the connections people have had with wolves at different times, \u003ci\u003eVillain, Vermin, Icon, Kin\u003c\/i\u003e offers a model for more ethical ways of interacting with animals in the face of a global biodiversity crisis.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McGill-Queen's University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54251843551576,"sku":"9780228011071","price":116.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780228011071.jpg?v=1776944741","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/villain-vermin-icon-kin-1","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
