Maritime Animals - Kaori Nagai

This Volume Explores Nonhuman Animals' Involvement With Human Maritime Activities In The Age Of Sail-as Well As The Myriad Multispecies Connections Formed Across Different Geographical Locations Knitted Together By The Long History Of Global Ship Movement. Far From Treating The Ship As A Confined Space Defined By The Sea, Maritime Animals Considers The Ships Connections To Broader Contexts And Networks And Covers A Variety Of Locations, From The Canadian Arctic To The Pacific Islands. Each Chapter Focuses On The Oceanic Experiences Of A Particular Species, From Ship Vermin, Animals Transported Onboard As Food, And Animal Specimens For Scientific Study To Livestock, Companion And Working Animals, Deep-sea Animals That Find Refuge In Shipwrecks, And Terrestrial Animals That Hunker Down On Flotsam And Jetsam.
