Описание: A richly illustrated and elegant volume showcasing beautifully designed stables by contemporary architects and designers the world over.
Once a thriving population of horses covered the Americas, then they spread across the World and died out in the Americas. But, as fate would have it, they were returned to their native lands by man. The development of human societies has been transformed in the Americas by the horse. The Horse allowed indigenous man to travel faster than his two legs could carry him on land.
This book looks at the many eras of the horse in the Americas. From the ancient earliest horses to breeds created for the needs of indigenous tribes, hunters, trappers, adventurers, and settlers who populated the American continents. This book takes a close look at how man adapted the horse to meet a wide spectrum of temperatures, environments, and conditions, as well as changing the animal's size and structure to meet the needs of newly developing societies within North and South America.

Описание:
Fifty-plus years of media fearmongering coupled with targeted breed bans have produced what could be called “America’s Most Wanted” dog: the pit bull. However, at the turn of the twenty-first century, competing narratives began to change the meaning of “pit bull.” Increasingly represented as loving members of mostly white, middle-class, heteronormative families, pit bulls and pit bull–type dogs are now frequently seen as victims rather than perpetrators, beings deserving not fear or scorn but rather care and compassion.
Drawing from the increasingly contentious world of human/dog politics and featuring rich ethnographic research among dogs and their advocates, Bad Dog explores how relationships between humans and animals not only reflect but actively shape experiences of race, gender, ethnicity, sexuality, nation, breed, and species. Harlan Weaver proposes a critical and queer reading of pit bull politics and animal advocacy, challenging the zero-sum logic through which care for animals is seen as detracting from care for humans. Introducing understandings rooted in examinations of what it means for humans to touch, feel, sense, and think with and through relationships with nonhuman animals, Weaver suggests powerful ways to seek justice for marginalized humans and animals together.

Описание: This book covers more than 40 indigenous goat breeds and several ecotypes around the globe and describes genotypic and phenotype traits related to species adaptation to harsh environments and climate change. It also addresses sustainable global farming of local goat breeds in different production systems and agro-ecosystems. Discussing three main global regions: Asia, Africa, and Europe, it particularly focuses on adverse environments such as mountain, semiarid and arid regions. The topic of this highly readable book includes the disciplines of animal physiology, breeding, sustainable agriculture, biodiversity and veterinary science, and as such it provides valuable information for academics, practitioners, and general readers with an interest in those fields.
Описание: DISCOVER HOW YOU CAN TRANSFORM YOUR DOG TO AN ANGEL TODAY
Many people will bring home a dog fresh from the shelter or breeder thinking that it is a bliss. They think that they have a tiny bundle of joy that looks like a cuddly little jellybean. But, life rarely stays in a phase of unhindered bliss. While you may love your puppy more than anything, you run into problems, get frustrated, overwhelmed, and begin to question yourself. Every day people are struggling with not knowing what to do with their dogs. This could be because of common behavior problems such as aggression or hyperactivity, it might be due to an unwillingness to comply with important commands, or it might be that the dog's caretaker doesn't know where to begin with training.
It is no wonder that so many people are at a loss. For decades, misinformation and false theories have spread about dog training. Some of these training methods are so harmful that they have prompted aggressive tendencies in dogs. This isn't anyone's fault, as the dog's owners were only following ill-gotten advice in the hopes of helping their dog. But, it isn't the dog's fault either, as they are scared and vulnerable-they feel like they have no option but to act out in order to protect themselves.
Thankfully, you can avoid this sad outcome that has come to many people. Due to researchers who have dedicated their careers to dogs, we now understand what training methods cause harm and which are successful in helping both humans and canine alike. We now know that wolf packs are vicious groups that are constantly infighting and attacking at any sign of weakness. Wolves are families that care for and help one another. In the same way, you and your domestic dog can help each other in your day to day lives, constantly growing closer with a tighter bond.
What You'll Find in this Book:
The importance of training your dog.
A positive training approach.
A training method that tightens your bond while decreasing aggression.
How training can decrease common problem behaviors.
Step-by-step details to proof your training for greater success.
How to pick the best training rewards.
Simple commands, such as 'down, ' 'stand, ' and 'watch me.'
Intermediate commands, including 'back up, ' 'gentle, ' and 'quiet.'
Difficult commands, such as 'come, ' 'leave it, ' and 'wait.'
And much much more...
Whether you live alone with your dog or in a bustling and busy home full of family or friends, you can use the methods in this book to train your dog for greater success. Even if you only have ten minutes a day to put into training, you can gradually work your way to having a well-trained dog. With consistent effort, your dog will feel secure in knowing that you are caring for them, and you will feel at ease knowing your dog will listen to you even in extreme circumstances.
There is no reason to wait any longer. But purchasing this book, you can finally have the knowledge you need to create the best life possible for you and your furry best friend. It doesn't matter their age, young or old, your dog can learn the lessons taught in this book, if only you teach them with consistency, patience, and kindness.

Описание: This book digs deep into English Renaissance culture to interrogate representations of horses in the period: it is argues that, ultimately, the horse was a byword for the subjugated and repressed: to be metaphorically like a horse in early modern England is to be bridled, tamed, and curbed.
