The Animal series is a long-running non-fiction collection published by Reaktion Books, with ninety-nine volumes covering individual species from Parrot to Nightingale. Each book examines one animal’s biology, cultural significance, and relationship with humans. Dean Crawford contributed the Shark volume, but the series features many different authors, each bringing their own expertise.
The books are short, illustrated, and aimed at general readers rather than specialists. The series has been running since 2005 and covers everything from common animals like Dog and Cat to less obvious subjects like Cockroach and Bedbug.
