A creature of supposedly little memory and short lifespan, it has universal appeal. In ancient China, goldfish were saved from predators in acts of religious reverence and selectively bred for their glittering grace. In the East, they became the subject of exquisite art, regarded as living flowers that moved, while in the West, they became ubiquitous residents of the Victorian parlour. Cheap and eminently available, today they are bred by the millions for the growing domestic pet market, while also proving to be important to laboratory studies of perception, vision and intelligence.   In this illuminating homage to the goldfish, Anna Marie Roos challenges the cultural preconceptions of a creature often thought to be common and disposable, as she blends art and science to trace the surprising and intriguing history of this much-loved animal.","brand":"Reaktion Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48741659443543,"sku":"9781789141351","price":12.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781789141351.jpg?v=1723812416"},{"product_id":"aquarium-pet-friendly-9781907337185","title":"Aquarium- Pet Friendly","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Magnet \u0026 Steel Publishing Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48742485786967,"sku":"9781907337185","price":12.55,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781907337185.jpg?v=1720061593"},{"product_id":"aquariums-aquarium-fish-9780754835585","title":"Aquariums  Aquarium Fish","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eClear step-by-step photographs and easy-to-follow instructions for planning, building, stocking and maintaining your aquarium.","brand":"Anness Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48865779384663,"sku":"9780754835585","price":13.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780754835585.jpg?v=1722275527"},{"product_id":"the-complete-fishing-manual-9780241476024","title":"The Complete Fishing Manual","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHenry Gilbey \u003c\/b\u003eis a well-known angler, and his love for fishing has led him to write numerous books, present various programmes, take incredible photographs, and offer invaluable advice on this subject.
