Download or read book Origin and History of the Horse (Classic Reprint) written by Fairfield Osborn and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-27 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Origin and History of the Horse The subject of the origin and history of the horse is not a simple one. It is a very complex one, because every scientific problem, like every financial problem, has its method of attack - from a number of different points of view. The first of the points to consider is that of the horse as the most perfect animal machine among the quadrupeds. Second, we shall see how this ma chine by purely natural processes evolved from comparatively small and simple beginnings. So we shall follow the evolution of a number of structures which make up this machine, and of the horse as a whole. Third, we shall look at the races, the wild breeds of the family of horses, as they are found in Asia and Africa today, because it is possible that some of these breeds throw some considerable light upon the most interesting of questions, the origin and history of this ani mal. Fourth, we come to the point where the history of the horse touches the history of man, and that was a turning point in the history of civilization, be cause, if you will reflect a moment, when man discovered the use of the horse, he discovered a mechanism which he could turn to his service in the same way as we use steam and electricity today. The horse became a means of civilization, of exploration and intercommunication. So, the history of the horse as a use ful animal to man comes in as the third or fourth topic.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Horse: A Study in Natural History The works to be comprised in this Series are in tended to give on each subject the information which an intelligent layman might wish to possess. They are not primarily intended for the young, nor for the specialist, though even to him they will doubtless be often useful in supplying references, or suggesting lines of research. Each book will be complete in itself, care, however, being taken that while the books do not overlap, they supplement each other; and while scientific in treat ment, they will be, as far as possible, presented in simple language, divested of needless technicalities. The rapid progress of science has made it more and more difficult, and renders it now quite impossible, to master the works which appear, almost daily, on various branches of science, or to keep up with the proceedings of our numerous Scientific Societies.

Download or read book The New Book of the Horse (Classic Reprint) written by Charles Richardson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-16 with total page 702 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Book of the Horse The Arab, it may not be generally known, has stood still in his own country through out the long period of time during which anything definite has been known about him. He has undoubtedly the same elegant outline, the same beautiful appearance, and the same wonderful stamina for which he has always been noted. But in his native state he is no bigger or heavier than he was when he was first introduced into this country some thing like 300 years ago, and this is probably due to the fact that he is bred in countries which do not possess such land as is to be found in many parts of the United Kingdom. It may be urged that the Arab in his own country does not require the luxuriant grasses upon which English horses are reared, and to some extent that is true; but it may be pointed out that when Arabs, Barbs, and other Eastern sires were brought to this country with a view to improving our native breed, the size quickly increased, even in horses whose blood was almost entirely Eastern. The fact is that England, Ireland, and even parts of Scotland, are eminently suitable for horse - breeding, as are the blue grass plains of Ken tucky, the Percheron district of France, certain parts also of the Northern Coast of France, and many districts of Australia and New Zealand.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Horse-Racing in France: A History Circumstances rather than natural aptitude, taste, inclination, or deliberate design have made me for more than twenty years a close student of horse-racing, both English and French. Into those circumstances there is no occasion to enter, and I have not the slightest intention of being gratuitously tedious. Suffice it to say that my first experience of horse-racing carries me back more than forty years to a day of which I have still a vivid remembrance, when I saw an animal belonging to the famous Colonel (afterwards General) Peel run at a provincial race meeting; and that I believe I can still from mere memory give that animal's name (although it achieved no great celebrity) - 'I-am-not-aware.' Since then I have witnessed a great many of the most memorable races ever run, and have had at least a bowing acquaintance with some of the most notable race horses, English, French, Austro-Hungarian, German, American, and others, that ever came to the post.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Horse and Its Relatives The following popular, and yet, I hope, scientifi cally accurate, account of the natural history of the more important representatives of the horse family, inclusive of the older domesticated breeds and its extinct forerunners, will, I venture to think, appeal to a large circle of readers.

Book Synopsis The Horse by : Henry Fairfield Osborn
Download or read book The Horse written by Henry Fairfield Osborn and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-11 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Horse: Past and Present In 1891 the American Museum began its long series of explorations and studies upon the evolution of the horse. It now contains the most complete collection of fossil horses in the world; also a very remarkable collection of mounted skeletons and models of modern horses, including both wild and domestic breeds. The ancestry of the horse has been traced back through successive stages represented by fossil skeletons to small progenitors with four toes on the fore feet and three on the hind feet, with short-crowned, simple teeth and small brain, but always possessed of great relative speed. What may be called the fossil breeds are found to be specialized as are modern breeds into exceedingly swift running as well as into slow moving types, into giant horses exceeding the very largest existing percherons, and into diminutive horses smaller even than the most diminutive shetland. The comparison of fossil and living types is therefore most interesting and instructive. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
