This book offers a colorful and wide-ranging biological and cultural history of these fascinating mammals. Alan Rauch explores how today's lethargic sloths evolved from gigantic prehistoric ancestors and earned their deadly, sinful names. In praise of both these beautiful creatures and their status as icons of a stress-free life, this book shows just how fascinating, engaging, and (more often than not) inspiring these animals can be.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAlan Rauch\u003c\/b\u003e is professor of English at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, and his many books include \u003ci\u003eDolphin\u003c\/i\u003e in Reaktion's Animal series.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 192\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 7.2 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 22, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42695927955519,"sku":"9781789147995","price":26.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/285839d0495c4ea7b76effa06a50096c.webp?v=1765005585","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/sloth-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
