Why do we eat what we do? Why do we keep some animals as pets and eat others? Keith Thomas takes us on a engrossing journey to discover our strange relationship with animals and plants.

Man and the Natural World, an encyclopaedic study of man's relationship to animals and plants, is completely engrossing ... It explains everything - why we eat what we do, why we plant this and not that, why we keep pets, why we like some animals and not others, why we kill the things we kill and love the things we love ... It is often a funny book and one to read again and again.

Paul Theroux, Sunday Times
