Book Synopsis Przewalski's Horses in Eurasia by : Michael L. Zukosky
Download or read book Przewalski's Horses in Eurasia written by Michael L. Zukosky and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2016-10-20 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Przewalski’s Horses in Eurasia draws on more than two years of ethnographic research to examine the reintroduction of Prezewalski’s horses—a highly endangered breed that is a genetically distinct and distant relative of today’s domesticated horses—into their native habitats across Eurasia. Zukosky explores how pluralism in species reintroduction provides insights into the experiences, relationships, and knowledge required for future international collaborations to better capture the complexity of both nature and society in scientific practice. The book includes philosophical discussions of pluralism in narrative, ethnographic studies of biologists’ observations of changing horse behavior from European captive conditions to release in the wild in Asia, and ethnographic accounts of local non-scientists’ sentiments about the benefits and disadvantages of reintroduction in central Mongolia. Recommended for scholars of anthropology and biology.

Book Synopsis The Tale of the Przewalski's Horse by : Piet Wit
Download or read book The Tale of the Przewalski's Horse written by Piet Wit and published by . This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For tens of thousands of years wild horses roamed over thegrasslands of Europe and Asia. Their endurance and agility madethem the perfect partner for man during his conquest of the world.The loss of importance of the domesticated horses for thecavalries of the world coincided with the disappearance of thelast horses from the wild. Around 1900 some wealthy collectorsrushed to the edge of the Gobi desert to catch a few specimen fromthe last marginalised groups of the proud horse that scientistsbaptised the `Przewalski's horse', after the Polish explorer whohas discovered them. Only twelve of these captured wild horseslive on in their present offspring.In the 1970s the Dutch couple Jan and Inge Bouman decided todedicate their life to the ideal of bringing the Przewalski'shorse back to the wild. This book tells their success story. Itmarks a breakthrough in the way we look at reintroduction projectsof endangered species. The Przewalski's horse or `Takh', as theMongolians call it, has played a catalytic role for the protectionof the mountain steppe ecosystem of Hustai National Park and itssurroundings. It paved the way for the development of integratedpasture management and livelihood improvement of the localherdsmen.

Book Synopsis Prehistoric Steppe Adaptation and the Horse by : Marsha Ann Levine
Download or read book Prehistoric Steppe Adaptation and the Horse written by Marsha Ann Levine and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The domestication of the horse was one of the most significant events in the development of many human societies, ushering in new modes of transport and warfare and generating social and political change. This volume examines the origins of horse husbandry and pastoralism - especially nomadic pastoralism - in the Eurasian steppe. It brings together archaeologists and archaeozoologists from Asia, Europe and North America ito provide a wide-ranging overview of issues and evidence for the development of Central European societies from the Neolithic to the Iron Age. Much of the material is here made available in English for the first time. The issues surrounding the domestication of the horse are set firmly within the broader context of steppe ecology and human subsistence, and with the development of pastoral economies across this crucial geographical zone.

Book Synopsis Horse Breeds and Human Society by : Kristen Guest
Download or read book Horse Breeds and Human Society written by Kristen Guest and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-11-26 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book demonstrates how horse breeding is entwined with human societies and identities. It explores issues of lineage, purity, and status by exploring interconnections between animals and humans. The quest for purity in equine breed reflects and evolves alongside human subjectivity shaped by categories of race, gender, class, region, and nation. Focusing on various horse breeds, from the Chincoteague Pony to Brazilian Crioulo and the Arabian horse, each chapter in this collection considers how human and animal identities are shaped by practices of breeding and categorizing domesticated animals. Bringing together different historical, geographical, and disciplinary perspectives, this book will appeal to academics, as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students, in the fields of human-animal studies, sociology, environmental studies, cultural studies, history, and literature.
Book Synopsis The Bronze and Early Iron Ages in Estonia by : V. Lang
Download or read book The Bronze and Early Iron Ages in Estonia written by V. Lang and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses social, economic, and cultural processes during the Bronze and Early Iron Ages (18th century BC - 5th century AD) in what is today Estonia. The above period between the Stone Age (ca. 9000-1800 BC) and the Middle Iron Age (AD 450-800) was an era of significant and crucial developmental processes. The final transition from a foraging to a farming economy occurred during that time and resulted in an extensive settlement shift from suitable hunting and fishing places to agricultural lands. In relation to the above processes, the general settlement pattern changed, and the agricultural household as the main settlement unit became prevalent. Social relations also changed, which contributed to the development of stratified societies, at first mainly in coastal Estonia and later throughout continental Estonia. Significant developments took place both in material and intellectual culture. By the end of the period the Estonian areas had changed beyond recognition compared to what they had been at the beginning of the period.

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.

Book Synopsis Eurasian Steppes. Ecological Problems and Livelihoods in a Changing World by : Marinus J.A. Werger
Download or read book Eurasian Steppes. Ecological Problems and Livelihoods in a Changing World written by Marinus J.A. Werger and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-06-14 with total page 570 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Steppes form one of the largest biomes. Drastic changes in steppe ecology, land use and livelihoods came with the emergence, and again with the collapse, of communist states. Excessive ploughing and vast influx of people into the steppe zone led to a strong decline in nomadic pastoralism in the Soviet Union and China and in severely degraded steppe ecosystems. In Mongolia nomadic pastoralism persisted, but steppes degraded because of strongly increased livestock loads. After the Soviet collapse steppes regenerated on huge tracts of fallow land. Presently, new, restorative steppe land management schemes are applied. On top of all these changes come strong effects of climate change in the northern part of the steppe zone. This book gives an up-to-date overview of changes in ecology, climate and use of the entire Eurasian steppe area and their effects on livelihoods of steppe people. It integrates knowledge that so far was available only in a spectrum of locally used languages.
