Abstract
The article discusses a new book called "Stowaway: The Disreputable Exploits of the Rat" by Joe Shute, which aims to challenge the negative perception of rats and redefine the relationship between rats and humans. The book explores the impact of human activities on rat populations and argues that rats are not solely to blame for the spread of diseases like the bubonic plague. It also highlights the dying art of rat catching and the complex relationship between humans and rats. The article suggests that humans should redirect their distaste away from rats and towards the human processes that enable them. [Extracted from the article]
