Histories that Rub You the Wrong Way is, first and foremost, a story about animals, or rather the histories of animals that have galloped, crawled, and ambled through human history. These scaly, furred, or feathered witnesses take turn telling tales that bump up against famous or forgotten episodes of our own history. This book will make you want to dream and explore the world in equal measure, as well as love the adventure we’re all in together here on planet Earth as we learn to protect living species.
