A New Book Series from the Pennsylvania State University Press
Animalibus: Of Animals and Cultures
Animalibus: Of Animals and Cultures is an exciting new book series, co-edited by historian
Nigel Rothfels and anthropologist Garry Marvin, and published by the Pennsylvania State
University Press. Books in the series will share a fascination not only with the importance of
animals in human life, but also with how thinking about animals can give us insights into human cultures, in different temporal and geographical contexts. Moreover, they will represent
a wide range of disciplinary perspectives in the humanities and social sciences, including history, anthropology, social and cultural geography, environmental studies, and literary and art
criticsm. Books in the series will be known for original research and innovative analysis; they
will demonstrate an awareness of the existing literature in animal studies; they will eschew
disciplinary-specific jargon to serve a wide range of audiences; and they will have a clear focus
on learning something new about human cultures.
