"[Living Beings] provides a stimulating new collection of ethnographic and historical perspectives on the ways in which other living beings are ‘good to think’, and are of vital material and metaphorical importance in human spirituality and creativity- Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute
Living Beings offers a lot to think about ... it indicates a serious and growing emphasis on the subject, and it shows that anthropology as well as other disciplines still have contributions to make. - Anthropology Review Database
[This book] represent[s] a significant milestone for the multispecies turn and offer[s] some useful theoretical and methodological foundations ... Seasoned fieldworkers will find a refreshing new angle with which to analyse old fieldnotes and new projects. - Australian Journal of Anthropology
Living Beings provides a multitude of interesting and innovative ways to rethink the relationship between humans and other-than-human beings. By pushing methodological and theoretical boundaries, the ideas presented in this volume will be especially inspiring to readers who are interested in interdisciplinary research projects with art and philosophy. - Anthropological Notebooks"
