Reviews:
-This four-volume collection of essays by a most impressive group of authors, including Jane Goodall, explores global and historical connections with animals. Topics are organized alphabetically with individual essays for each topic. A cross-index by specific animals and a general index will also help find specific subject matter....The individual essays are highly readable with lively text and include a wealth of additional resources at the end of each piece....This resource should be a major target for any student seeking information involving human interactions with animals, whether for personal enrichment or classroom assignment. It is an expensive but valuable resource for both students and teachers. —VOYA
-This encyclopedia covers all aspects of human-animal relationships, bringing together many viewpoints on the subject. More than 350 detailed articles provide historical and current information on everything from bonding to environment; from keeping pets to hoarding animals; from animals in literature, movies, and cartoons to elephants and cows in India and dolphins in Japan....International in scope and unique in coverage, the typically long pieces present a broad view of animal treatment in many cultures and countries, both historical and current....This source is recommended for high school and college libraries as this material is rarely found elsewhere. —Reference & User Services Quarterly
