Waiting for Wolves in Japan

John Knight is reader in anthropology, Queen's University, Belfast.

A superb study that reveals much about human-animal interactions and relationships among humans.... [Chapters consider] human-wildlife relations by focusing on harm caused by wild boars, monkeys, deer and serow (a goat-antelope), and bears.... [The book] also looks at wolves and the debate over their possible reintroduction.... Those interested in gaining insight about the social repercussions of environmental issues and the symbolic and material connections among humans and other creatures are sure to find this book to be essential reading." - Journal of Asian Studies
