Description

From the iconic European badger to the African honey badger, the hog badger of Southeast Asia and the North American badger, this book is the first truly global cultural history of the animal in over 30 years. Profusely illustrated with images spanning centuries, cultures, continents and species, Badger considers badgers' lives and lore, from their evolution and widespread distribution to their current and often imperilled statusthroughout the world.

Reviews

"I have read many of the books in Reaktion's series Animal. . . . Badger is one of the best. Daniel Heath Justice is deeply read yet shares his knowledge with a light touch."
