A new edition of an article by Níels Einarsson, originally published in 1990 in Maritime Anthropological Studies, has now been published with new foreword in French translation in Vertigo - a journal devoted to environmental sciences. The article, originally titled "Of Seals and Souls: Changes in the position of seals in the world-view of Icelandic small-scale fishermen" discusses changes in attitudes towards seals among Icelandic small-scale fishermen from an anthropological perspective (Einarsson, N. (1990), Of seals and souls: Changes in the position of seals in the world-view of Icelandic small-scale fishermen, Maritime Anthropological Studies, 3, 2, pp. 35-48).
