| Summary |
While previous studies of dogs in human history have focused on how people have changed the species through domestication, this volume offers an archaeological portrait of the human-canine bond. Contributors investigate the ways people have viewed and valued dogs in different cultures around the world and across the ages.--description provided by publisher |
