Les Animaux malades de l’homme, par Philippe Diolé, Flammarion
€15.00
Published in 1974 by Flammarion and introduced by Jacques-Yves Cousteau, Animals Made Ill by Man is one of Philippe Diolé's most thought-provoking works on the relationship between humanity and the animal world.
Combining history, ecology, biology and cultural analysis, the author examines the changing place of animals in human society, from prehistory and mythology to modern popular culture and hunting traditions.
Long before environmental concerns became mainstream, Diolé warned about the growing impact of human activity on wildlife and natural habitats. The volume concludes with a useful bibliography for further reading.

About the author
Philippe Diolé (1908-1977) was a French writer, journalist, diver and close collaborator of Jacques-Yves Cousteau. He participated in several famous Calypso expeditions and helped raise public awareness of environmental issues.
About the book
When it appeared in 1974, the book was remarkably ahead of its time. It anticipated many of the ecological concerns that would become central topics several decades later.
Why this book is unusual
Rather than focusing solely on animals, the book explores how human beings have imagined, exploited, admired and transformed them throughout history.
Why this book remains relevant today
The questions raised by Diolé concerning biodiversity, conservation and humanity's impact on the natural world remain highly relevant in the twenty-first century.
