One Kingdom: Our Lives with Animals the Human-Animal Bond in Myth, History, Science, and Story

A deeply personal and far-searching look at the animal-human relationship. Noyes explores this relationship through photography, personal anecdote, research, and myths. This is a compelling read that will captivate animal lovers.
