For centuries prior to the development of an effective vaccination against rabies, the bite of a "mad" dog was linked to a horrific ailment marked by convulsions, an utter dread of swallowing liquids, uncontrollable thrashing, and even the tendency to bark and attempt to bite others-a horrid prelude to an agonizing death. Drawing on learned theories of medical practitioners and beliefs of the common people, The Bearer of Crazed and Venomous Fangs investigates the cultural mythology of the ailment known today as rabies. By exploring the cultural history of science, traditional belief, and folk medicine, it reveals the popular myths and learned delusions that came to define the disease. Among the arresting topics explored are the attribution of rabies to a worm beneath the tongue, the notion that the disease could arise spontaneously, the idea that it could be "cured" by the application to the wound of special stones or animal parts, and, if all else failed, the treatment of it by the suffocation of the human victim. Rich in detail and brimming with historical intrigue, The Bearer of Crazed and Venomous Fangs engages students of medicine and the history of science, veterinary studies, folklore, psychology, and anyone interested in how mankind's best friend could be thought of as its cruelest, fiercest enemy.

'Essential reading' John Bradshaw, author of In Defence of Dogs 'Fascinating' Telegraph 'Funny, irreverent and enthusiastic, [Pearson] parades his love for all things canine' The Times 'Thought-provoking and often surprising' Country Life Dogs are our constant companions: models of loyalty and unconditional love for millions around the world. But these beloved animals are much more than just our pets - and our shared history is far richer and more complex than you might assume. Here, historian and dog lover Chris Pearson reveals how the shifting fortunes of dogs hold a mirror to our changing society, from the evolution of breeding standards to the fight for animal rights. Wherever humans have gone, dogs have followed, changing size, appearance and even jobs along the way - from the forests of medieval Europe, where greyhounds chased down game for royalty, to the frontlines of twentieth-century conflicts, where dogs carried messages and hauled gun carriages. Despite vast social change, however, the power of the human-canine bond has never diminished. By turns charming, thought-provoking and surprising, Collared reveals the fascinating tale of how we made the modern dog.

"The early nineteenth -century witnessed the birth of psychiatry, a new medical science that fundamentally changed how mental illness was labelled and understood. Troubled by Faith explores how psychiatrists not only thought they were agents of modernity but that they could also explain the occult mysteries of the past. They bristled with confidence that, in an era of unprecedented change, unlocking the secrets of the mind was essential to an ordered and progressive society. And a progressive society was one that did not believe in witches, ghosts, and fairies, and did not exhibit excited religious emotions and divine communications. Through examining the extensive psychiatric literature from Europe and America, Troubled by Faith charts how once widely- held popular beliefs were pathologized, and how this fundamentally impacted on the notion of criminal and legal responsibility. In the second half of the book, we listen to the voices of asylum patients as recorded in case books. The asylum was an extraordinary cultural space where under one roof prophets, messiahs, the bewitched, and the haunted mixed, and people wrestled with angels, devils, imps, and witches. It was a place filled with talk of infernal machines and sinister electrical forces. Whether seriously ill and deluded, or sane and lucid in their beliefs and imaginings, patients' experiences were, nevertheless, reflective of a society being transformed by technology and yet still rooted in the supernatural"--

Si pasea por cualquier ciudad occidental hoy día, no tardará mucho en ver a un perro. Se espera que estos animales domesticados puedan moverse fácilmente por aceras, calles y otros elementos fundamentales de nuestro entorno urbano. Pero, ¿y si nuestras ciudades se hubieran modelado en respuesta a nuestra convivencia con los perros más de lo que nos imaginamos? Esta obra audaz ofrece una convincente demostración histórica de que las relaciones humano-caninas fueron un factor crucial en la formación de la vida urbana moderna y que las reacciones humanas hacia los perros han conformado y remodelado significativamente las ciudades occidentales contemporáneas hasta puntos insospechados Dogópolis descubre una sorprendente fuente de innovación urbana: las relaciones entre los humanos y los perros. La inmemorial relación entre los cánidos y los humanos ha dado lugar a un modelo occidental de relaciones entre ambos en la que se definía cómo los perros urbanos debían convivir con los humanos de una manera civilizada, segura y saludable. Así, los perros y los humanos se mezclaron en estas urbes que habitaban y que se expandían y desarrollaban rápidamente. Los perros acabaron integrándose en la vida de la ciudad de acuerdo con los valores emocionales de la clase media, centrados en el rechazo a la suciedad, el miedo al vagabundeo, el temor a la criminalidad y el cultivo de sentimientos humanitarios. “Extraviados, mordiendo, sufriendo, pensando, defecando, los perros de París, Londres y Nueva York fueron actores centrales en la creación de la experiencia urbana moderna. Dogópolis es su historia, compartida entre animales y humanos de clase media cuyas emociones ambivalentes cobran vida en este maravillosos libro”. Peter Sahlins. “Un libro bellamente presentado con una voz histórica evocadora, con gran confianza y estilo. También es muy divertido de leer. Pearson ofrece un tesoro de detalles sobre las vidas compartidas de humanos y perros”. Nel Pemberton. “Ayuda a explicar por qué tratamos a los perros de la forma en que lo hacemos, y cómo los habitantes de las ciudades, en particular, han llegado a definirse a sí mismos en relación con los no humanos”. Suplemento Literario de The Times. “Deslumbrante y elegantemente escrito, demuestra de manera irrefutable que los perros son buenos para pensar. Nos lleva en un viaje todo, desde los mimos hasta los amordazamientos, perros rabiosos, dueños cariñosos, perreras y cementerios de mascotas”. Colin Jones.
