Heg82-167 Leadership Roles Group Members Play, Duane A. Olsen

This methodology should make use of both the intuitive and scientific approaches in order to encompass the full richness of animal-human interaction. Four main areas of investigation would be fruitful at this point: {1) the role of animals in various human cultures and ethnic …
