Domestication has often seemed a matter of the distant past, a
series of distinct events involving humans and other species that
took place long ago. Today, as genetic manipulation continues to
break new barriers in scientific and medical research, we appear to
be entering an age of biological control. Are we also writing a new
chapter in the history of domestication? "Where the Wild Things Are
Now" explores the relevance of domestication for anthropologists
and scholars in related fields who are concerned with understanding
ongoing change in processes affecting humans as well as other
species. From the pet food industry and its critics to salmon
farming in Tasmania, the protection of endangered species in
Vietnam and the pigeon fanciers who influenced Darwin, "Where the
Wild Things Are Now" provides an urgently needed re-examination of
the concept of domestication against the shifting background of
relationships between humans, animals and plants.
