Animating Central Park: A Multispecies History

"Dawn Biehler's wonderful book Animating Central Park: A Multispecies History reminds us that any complete history of Central Park must necessarily be a more-than-human one. . . . A must-read!" * Cultural Geographies * "Dawn Day Biehler's remarkable debut, Pests in the City: Flies, Bedbugs, Cockroaches, and Rats, set the bar dauntingly high, but Animating Central Park confirms Biehler's place as a leading scholar in animal history, historical geography, and environmental history." * Animal History * "Animating Central Park makes significant contributions to animal studies, urban environmental history, and the history of urban parks. By urging us to think about Central Park as a more-than-human public space, Biehler...adds something new to the historiography of Central Park, no small achievement considering the amount of attention previous historians have given this extraordinary 843-acre landscape." * Environmental History *
