Download or read book The Horse in Human History written by Pita Kelekna and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-04-20 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book assesses the impact of the horse on human society from 4000 BC to 2000 AD, by first describing initial horse domestication on the Pontic-Caspian steppes and the early development of driving and riding technologies. It traces the radiation of newly mobile equestrian cultures across Europe, Asia, and North Africa. It then documents the transmission of steppe chariotry and cavalry to sedentary states, the high economic importance of the horse, and the socio-political evolution of equestrian empires, which from antiquity into the modern era expanded across continents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Origin and History of the Horse The first meeting of the season was held at the Metropolitan Club on Tuesday evening, December 19, 1905, the President, Mr. Barnes, presiding. After dinner the President introduced Prof. Henry Fairfield Osborn, who delivered the following address: "Origin and History Of the Horse." Prof, Osborn - It is unnecessary to say in this presence that the horse is the noblest of the domesticated animals and has been to man the most useful of all the domesticated animals, not barring the cow. In support of this statement you must recall the fact that in certain parts of Asia there are no cattle, and that the people subsist entirely and have subsisted for hundreds if not thousands of years upon the products of the horse, including the milk of the mare, which of course is prepared in the form of kumyss. Just a few words of introduction to the history of the horse, which is our subject. It is very largely connected with the explorations which we have conducted from the American Museum of Natural History, which began in the year 1891. In 1889 we made in Northeastern Texas the rather remarkable discovery of a considerable number of skeletons of the horse reared in America, that is, of the original North American horse, which became extinct not only before the discovery of the country by the Spaniards, but long before that time. There are no traces of the horse in the Aztec history of Mexico, or in the knowledge of any of the South American peoples, or even in the myths of the American Indian. The animal therefore became entirely extinct in this country, all assertions to the contrary being unfounded. Our discovery was of five or six of the original American horses, which had previously only been known by portions of the skeletons, and it put into my mind the possibility of a series of explorations which should be especially directed to the subject of the history of the horse in America, a subject in which we may feel considerable national pride, because it is highly probable, although not yet absolutely demonstrated, that the direct ancestors of this noble animal came from America before the race became extinct, and that the horse is therefore one of the gifts of America to the world.

Download or read book The Horse written by Debbie Busby and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2019-07-16 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive, richly illustrated introduction to the fascinating natural history of the horse, from prehistory to the present There are countless books about keeping and riding horses. The Horse is different: it looks not only at the natural history of the horse in the context of its use by humans, but also at its own, independent story, describing the way horses live, think, and behave both alongside people and on their own. Beautifully designed and illustrated, The Horse provides an engaging and accessible introduction to these beloved animals. Beginning with evolution and development, The Horse tells how horses came into being more than fifty million years ago and were first domesticated more than five thousand years ago, eventually spreading across the globe. Chapters on Anatomy & Biology and Society & Behavior explain equine anatomy and how it has affected the lives and social structure of horses, and outline current scientific thinking on their behavior as individual and herd animals, including information on communication between horses. A chapter on Horses & People provides a thorough overview of the horse’s many important roles in human history and today, from pack animal to sporting champion. Finally, the book ends with an engrossing and visually stunning photographic gallery of some fifty popular breeds of horses and ponies with essential information about each. Filled with surprising facts and insights, this book will delight anyone who loves horses and wants to understand them better. Provides a comprehensive, richly illustrated introduction to the evolution, development, domestication, and behavior of the horse—from life cycle, breeding, coats and colors, and the senses to courtship, parenting, communication, emotions, and learning Tells the full story of horses, from their earliest fossil ancestors to the modern-day Equus Offers a detailed survey of how horses and humans have interacted since horses were domesticated, including their use for work and war in the past and recreational and competitive riding today Features infographics, diagrams, and more than 250 stunning color photographs Includes a beautiful photographic directory to some 50 popular breeds

The Domestic Horse, first published in 2005, brings together, for the first time, an unrivalled collection of international scientific authors to write on the latest findings concerning the behaviour and welfare of this beautiful animal.

Book Synopsis The Horse, the Wheel, and Language by : David W. Anthony
Download or read book The Horse, the Wheel, and Language written by David W. Anthony and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2010-07-26 with total page 566 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roughly half the world's population speaks languages derived from a shared linguistic source known as Proto-Indo-European. But who were the early speakers of this ancient mother tongue, and how did they manage to spread it around the globe? Until now their identity has remained a tantalizing mystery to linguists, archaeologists, and even Nazis seeking the roots of the Aryan race. The Horse, the Wheel, and Language lifts the veil that has long shrouded these original Indo-European speakers, and reveals how their domestication of horses and use of the wheel spread language and transformed civilization. Linking prehistoric archaeological remains with the development of language, David Anthony identifies the prehistoric peoples of central Eurasia's steppe grasslands as the original speakers of Proto-Indo-European, and shows how their innovative use of the ox wagon, horseback riding, and the warrior's chariot turned the Eurasian steppes into a thriving transcontinental corridor of communication, commerce, and cultural exchange. He explains how they spread their traditions and gave rise to important advances in copper mining, warfare, and patron-client political institutions, thereby ushering in an era of vibrant social change. Anthony also describes his fascinating discovery of how the wear from bits on ancient horse teeth reveals the origins of horseback riding. The Horse, the Wheel, and Language solves a puzzle that has vexed scholars for two centuries--the source of the Indo-European languages and English--and recovers a magnificent and influential civilization from the past.
