How has this coexistence worked as we enter the Anthropocene? How have human-animal relationships shaped Singapore society—socially, economically, politically and environmentally—over the last half century?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is a work of historical and ecological analysis, in which various institutions, perspectives and events involving animals provide insight into the development of Singapore as a modern, urban nation-state, highlighting some of the challenges of planning and development. The book asks the reader to see Singapore's myriad creatures not as mere objects of human action, but as active participants in the making of Singapore’s urban future and will be of interest to scholars of environmental history and lovers of Singapore's nature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContributors:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnthony Medrano\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEsmond Chuah Meng Soh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFaizah Zakaria\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJennifer Yip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMiles Alexander Powell\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNicole Tarulevicz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRuizhi Choo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTimothy P.
