Studies in Environment and History: Feral Animals in the American South: An Evolutionary History

'Abraham H. Gibson's Feral Animals in the American South: An Evolutionary History tells a fascinating story of animals in the American South and, as importantly, a fascinating story of humans - free and enslaved - in the American South. One comes away wiser and in many respects sadder about our relationships with animals and at least as much about our relationships with each other. This is a very important book that is relevant to many scholars in varying fields.' Michael Ruse, editor of The Cambridge Encyclopedia of Darwin and Evolutionary Thought 'Abraham Gibson's Feral Animals in the American South is an ambitious work unveiling the comparative feral histories of pigs, dogs, and horses. ... Those interested in teaching, researching, or simply learning about such processes should read Gibson's book. I expect it will be required reading for scholars and students engaging in the cross-section of environmental and animal studies.' Tyler Parry, Environmental History
