Man and Animals by Yuri Dmitriyev is a sweeping natural history that chronicles the profound, complex, and often turbulent relationship between humanity and the creatures with whom we have coexisted since the dawn of civilisation. Set against the vast backdrop of the natural world, the work presents a richly detailed account of how animals have shaped human culture, economy, science, and survival — while humanity's expanding footprint has irrevocably altered their fate in return.\n\nDmitriyev writes with the passion of a dedicated naturalist and the clarity of a gifted science communicator, weaving together biology, ecology, history, and ethics into a compelling and unified narrative. Published by Raduga Publishers in Moscow, this work stands as a significant contribution to Soviet-era popular natural science literature, carrying a tone that is at once educational and deeply humanistic. The book challenges readers to reconsider their place in the natural order — leaving the unsettling question of whether humanity has been a steward or a destroyer lingering long after the final page.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50572300124379,"sku":"2026100011002-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/ff4cc5fe-c11b-4489-ad91-751022ff2f25.png?v=1791166215","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100011002-secondhand-man-and-animals","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
