It is a work of historical and ecological analysis, in which various institutions, perspectives, and events involving animals provide insight into how the larger society has been formed and developed over the last half-century. The interaction of all Singaporean creatures thus provides a lens through which we can understand the creation of a modern and urban nation-state, shaped by the forces of the Anthropocene.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Timothy Barnard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9813252383\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789813252387\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National University of Singapore Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/29\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Timothy Barnard","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45482804248831,"sku":"9789813252387","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9de0e162-9186-45e7-bd99-625056853646.jpg?v=1715999539","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/singaporean-creatures-timothy-barnard-9789813252387","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
