درباره این کتاب:
Living work
of art, consumer commodity, scientific
hero, and environmental menace: the humble
goldfish is the ultimate human cultural
artifact. A creature of supposedly little
memory and a short lifespan, it has held
universal appeal as a reservoir for human
ideas and ideals. In ancient China,
goldfish were saved from predators in acts
of religious reverence and selectively
bred for their glittering grace. In the
East, they became the subject of exquisite
art, regarded as living flowers that
moved, while in the West, they became
ubiquitous residents of the Victorian
parlor. Cheap and eminently available,
today they are bred by the millions for
the growing domestic pet market, while
also proving to be important to laboratory
studies of perception, vision, and
intelligence.
In this illuminating homage to the
goldfish, Anna Marie Roos blends art and
science to trace the surprising and
intriguing history of this much-loved
animal, challenging our cultural
preconceptions of a creature often thought
to be common and disposable.
