With their reputation for determined self-defense, they have been brutalized by hunters and sportsmen, while their association with the mythic underworld has made them idealized symbols of earth-based wisdom and their burrowing habits have resulted in their widespread persecution as pests. In this highly illustrated book, Daniel Heath Justice provides the first global cultural history of the badger in over thirty years.Reaktion Books - AnimalBadgersOld World badgerBehaviorElectronic books.Badgers.Old World badgerBehavior.599.767Justice Daniel Heath850390MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910464153703321Badger1900604UNINA
