Second print run for human-animal studies anthology

Our book Hvem er villest i landet her? Råskap mot dyr og natur i Antropocen, menneskets tidsalder has just been printed with a second print run (first print run was in 2013). See publisher´s book presentation here. I think this is the first time a book I have co-edited has had a second print run.

Spartacus: Facsimiles of media coverage of HAS anthology

The publishing house Spartacus (with the imprint Scandinavian Academic Press) has now collected much (but not all) of the media coverage of the anthology Hvem er villest i landet her? Råskap mot dyr og natur i antropocen, menneskets tidsepoke [Who is wildest in this country here? Brutality towards animals and nature in the Anthropocene, the age of Man] on their webpage.

This includes six articles (all in Norwegian):

Book review in the daily Vårt Land: "Sterkt om dyreforbruk" [/Impressive/ on consumption of animals]

NTB Tema: "Menneskenes tidsepoke" [The age of Man]

Chronicle in the daily Klassekampen: "Ut av menneskets vold" [loosely: Out of human custody/detention]

Dag Hessen's chapter excerpts in the weekly Morgenbladet: "Menneskets særpreg" [Man's uniqueness]

Interview in the weekly Morgenbladet: "Koteletter med følelse" [Cutlets with feelings]

Letter to the editor in the daily Dagbladet: "Kunnskapsløst om dyr" [Ignorant/uninformed on animals]

Norwegian HAS anthology advertised in publisher's PR leaflet

The recently published Norwegian Human-Animal Studies anthology Hvem er villest i landet her? Råskap mot dyr og natur i antropocen, menneskets tidsalder [Who is wildest in this country here? Brutality towards animals and nature in the Anthropocene, the age of Man], for which I am one of three editors, is advertised in this spring's PR leaflet issued by the publisher, Spartacus forlag/Scandinavian Academic Press.

Meanwhile, our chronicle posted in the debate forum Nye meninger two days ago has been read by some 600 people online (it has also been published in print, in the daily Klassekampen).

Here's the cover page and back page of the Human-Animal Studies anthology I am co-editing which will be released on May 15th:

The change made today involves reordering the names of the editors in line with what we agreed on. The correct reference to the book is thus:
