The contributors offer new evidence for rethinking the dichotomy of trust vs domination previously used to characterize human-animal relations. They show how humans and animals partner for survival, and how a cold environment does not merely threaten existence but rather creates opportunities. Domestication is presented as a continuous, mutually beneficial human-animal relationship of becoming familiar with each other and the surrounding environment, which can lead to a symbiotic partnership of multiple agents for adapting to changes including a warming climate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume will be relevant to scholars from anthropology, geography, and related disciplines interested in human-animal relations, ecology, and the environment, particularly in the North.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Open Access version of this book, available at http: \/\/www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48057629573271,"sku":"9781032955919","price":5992.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781032955919.webp?v=1784897393","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-benefits-of-the-cold-and-domestication-9781032955919","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
