Sea Otters

Synthesizes anew the sea otter's complex history of interaction with humans by drawing on new histories of the species that consider international and global factors beyond the fur trade, including sea mammal conservation, Cold War nuclear testing, and environmental tourism. Ravalli weaves together the story of imperial ambition, greed, and an iconic sea mammal.

Sintetizeaza din nou istoria complexa a interactiunii vidrei de mare cu oamenii, bazandu-se pe noi istorii ale speciilor care iau in considerare factori internationali si globali dincolo de comertul cu blanuri, inclusiv conservarea mamiferelor marine, testarea nucleara din Razboiul Rece si turismul de mediu. Ravalli tese impreuna povestea ambitiei imperiale, a lacomiei si a unui mamifer marin iconic.
