ISBN: 9780896580008 - the complete cow: an udderly entertaining history of dairy and beef cows of the world (13 risultati)

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. The cow is perhaps the world's most appealing animal. Why do we love cows? Sara Rath answers that question and more in this book, a light-hearted yet serious look at dairy and beef cows of the world-both familiar and not-so-familiar. From ancient myths to a breed encyclopaedia to a whimsical look at the fun pop culture surrounding famous cows, this book has it all. In exploring our almost innate love of cows, Rath delivers an informative and entertaining summary of bovines around the world. Remarkably readable and inviting, 'The Complete Cow' is beautifully illustrated with large-format colour photographs of all breeds and is the first book to feature cows from around the globe, both past and present. Great colour photography is accented by images both humorous (from cartoonists such as Gary Larson) and romantic (in pastoral paintings by Vincent Van Gogh and others). Along the way readers will discover all kinds of bovine trivia: how to say 'moo', 'cow', and 'cowpie' in many languages, a fascinating cow migration map, advice on naming a cow, and more.…
