E-book Animals and the Shaping of Modern Medicine : One Health and its Histories

This volume breaks new ground in applying Benson’s second per-spective to medical history: ‘to explore the history of nonhuman ani-mals as subjects in their own right and for their own sakes’.5 Humans remain important, of course, for ultimately we can only know about animals from the records that humans have created, and which reflect …

E-book Drone Aesthetics : War, Culture, Ecology

There can be little doubt of the canonical drone aesthetic: a flattened aeriality that moves with an inhuman smoothness, drifting, and pitching to capture an uncanny vantage.
