Description
In 2006, about 69 million U.S. households had pets, giving homes to around 73.9 million dogs, 90.5 million cats, and 16.6 million birds, and spending more than 38 billion dollars on companion animals. As never before in history, our pets are truly members of the family. But the notion of companion species—knotted from human beings, animals and other organisms, landscapes, and technologies—includes much more than companion animals.
When Species Meet by Donna J. Haraway explores this intricate interplay between humans and their animal companions. Haraway delves into the idea that these relationships extend beyond mere companionship to form a complex tapestry involving various forms of life and the environments they inhabit.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Donna Haraway's latest work is praised as a stunning meditation on ordinary human-animal interactions. The book blends theory and autobiography, featuring personal stories such as those involving her Australian sheepdog, Ms. Cayenne Pepper. Haraway introduces and elaborates on biological concepts like "symbiogenesis" to show how life forms intermingle and form rich associations. Readers are invited to reconsider all forms of human-animal relationships. The book is also noted for connecting well to Haraway's earlier work while clearly articulating the personal and broader stakes involved.
