Whitney Barlow Robles examines the pivotal role nonhuman animals played in the development of early modern natural history. By tracing the interactions between colonial collectors and the creatures they studied, the book reveals how animals were not merely passive specimens but active participants in the production of scientific knowledge. This study bridges environmental history and material culture to illuminate the complex, often fraught, relationships between human inquiry and the natural world.
