Hardback. Condizione: Good. Thousands of years ago people living on the steppes of central Asia realized that horses could transport them long distances, help them fight their wars, pull their plows, and provide them with sport and companionship. Ever since, horses and human history have been intertwined. The author-illustrator team of Jeff Crosby and Shelley Ann Jackson celebrates all kinds of horses in this beautifully illustrated, fact-filled book. From fast horses like the Barb, which traveled to Spain from Africa in the early eighth century to become a foundation for many Spanish and European breeds, to war horses like the Mongolian that gave their owners military advantage (today there are more horses in Mongolia than there are people), to the hard-working horses ranging from the tiny American Miniature to the giant Clydesdale, Harness Horses, Bucking Broncos & Pit Ponies>is a treasure-trove of information. Today there are fifty-eight million horses in the world. This is the perfect book for those who own (or dream of owning) a horse, who ride, or who simply like to read about these magnificent animals and the special relationship they share with humans.…

Though the origin of the League is, as author Nash eloquently states in his opening chapter, "veiled in mystery" and 'arose so gradually. that it is almost impossible to piece together a coherent story of its activities," in The Hansa readers will find a vivid and faithful attempt to trace the League's three phases: its growth, apogee, and decline. And what emerges in the telling is a history full of adventure, drama, and politics. Nash takes us through the dramatic developments that caused the League-which during the twelfth through fifteenth centuries was an association of north German towns and groups of German merchants abroad-to evolve from a protective organization whose purpose was to secure safe travel for its trading members to one whose main aim was to make money and monopolize trade in the Baltic region-which often meant taking severe, rigid, and restrictive action. The Hansa was not above force, bribery, even war. In its heyday, the Hansa had such might and financial power that it could dictate terms to kings and emperors. Nor was the Hansa slow to punish member merchants whose goods, by not meeting the League's high standards, could bring the League into disrepute.
