Abstract

Editor's Introduction Kenneth J. Shapiro With this volume, S&A expands to three issues per year. The expansion is made possible by the increasing number of fine manuscripts currently being submitted and by continuing the practice, begun in 4, 2 ("Involvement with animals as consumer experience"), of publishing guest-edited issues devoted to one topic or subfield. We also formally extend the scope of the journal to include investigations in the humanities. We now invite investigations conducted by methods traditionally associated with the humanities, particularly historical and literary analysis. Note that the "Information for Contributors," found at the back of the issue, reflects this s change. The two lead articles in this issue are illustrative. Through analysis of historical documents, Sax provides an account of the Nazi view of nature and animals, keying on the wild/domestic, particularly the wolf/dog, distinction.
