A WALK IN THE ANIMAL KINGDOM
Book ID/图书代码： 03890015B82095
English Summary/英文概要： ANIMALS ARE EVERYWHERE IN OUR LIVES. We follow them into the wild, we invite them into our homes, they inhabit our dreams, mythologies, folklores, and popular cultures. What is this powerful bond? Why are we so fascinated with animals of every kind? And why has our relationship with them always been riddled with such complexity and contradiction?
A Walk in the Animal Kingdom explores the world of animals with the inquisitiveness, depth, and gentle humor that readers across the globe have come to expect from the acclaimed author-artist team of Jerry Dennis and Glenn Wolff. The book is an inquiry into animals of the world, their astonishing diversity and abundance; their mating habits, defensive strategies, and other behaviors; their extraordinary senses of sight, hearing, and smell. It is also an exploration of our profound connection with them, from the joys they inspire and the fears they arouse, to their prominence in our lives as pets, team mascots, and embodiments of wild nature—and the paradox that allows us to battle to protect certain species, while ignoring others that are disappearing at a rate perhaps unequaled in the history of our planet.
Like the previous collaborations of Dennis and Wolff, A Walk in the Animal Kingdom is certain to become a classic among books about nature—its wonders, its complexities, and our place in it.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在我们的生活中，动物们可谓无处不在。我们追随着它们进入野外，我们邀请它们来到我们的家中，它们栖居在我们的梦中，神话里，民俗传说间，甚至出现在流行文化中。这种强有力的联系究竟从何而来？我们为何会如此痴迷于各种各样的动物们？而我们和动物们之间的关系又为何总是充满了复杂与反差？
《动物王国游记》用充满好奇，深刻和温和的幽默感探索了动物们的世界，相信全世界的读者们都早已十分期待这本来自著名创作团队：杰瑞•丹尼斯和格兰•伍尔夫的作品。本书对动物世界进行探究，并探索了其惊人的多样性和丰富性；它们的配偶习惯，防御策略以及许多其他行为习惯；并描绘了它们超凡绝伦的视力、听力以及嗅觉。同时本书也是对人类和动物之间深刻联系的一次深入探索：从它们为我们带来的欢乐，到因它们而引起的恐惧，再到它们在我们生命中所扮演的重要角色：作为宠物，团队吉祥物，以及野心自然的象征和化身----同时全书还为我们带来了这样一种悖论：有时候我们会不由自主的为保护某些物种而斗争，但又同时会忽视其他一些以惊人速度从我们的星球上消失的物种。
本书将与丹尼斯和伍尔夫的前一部合著集一样，其所蕴含的神奇性，复杂性以及我们人类在其中的重要地位，都使得《动物王国游记》无疑也将成为一部经典自然读物。（DC）
