Cottage Economy
ISBN: 9781108004077 / Angielski / Miękka / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. William Cobbett (1763 1835) was at various times a soldier, a farmer, a radical activist and politician, and a journalist.

With practical...

Sheep – The remarkable story of the humble animal that built the modern world.
ISBN: 9781846943812 / Angielski / Miękka / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. What was the most important step in civilization? Alan Butler's answer is that it was when we began capturing wild sheep, domesticating and breeding them. Sheep were the mainstay of ancient cultures, by far the most important of the domesticated animals. Able to survive almost anywhere, over-wintering successfully, they provided not just milk, meat and skin, but warm clothing. This is why so many of the earliest gods and their myths are sheep related, from the Egyptian Ra (ram) to the later Christian Lamb of God. But sheep have not only sustained us for thousands of years. Sheep farming also...

ISBN: 9781452001258 / Angielski / Miękka / 96 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Between April 2007 and August 2009, I wrote a blog on Myspace.com which described my life in rural France with an increasing number of pets and other animals. My family and friends found the articles amusing and entertaining, so I have edited those blogs to tell a story with photographs, which I hope will appeal to a wider audience of francophile animal-lovers. The book title reflects my husband's exasperation when I turned up with yet 'another bloody goat'.

Elements of Ethology: A Textbook for Agricultural and Veterinary Students
ISBN: 9780412231704 / Angielski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The object of this book is to introduce ethology to agricultural and veterinary students. Today ethology covers many approaches to the study of animal behaviour which are connected by one unifying concept: all behaviour must be considered in relation to the ecology and evolutionary history of the species under investigation. This may seem to some to put domesticated animals beyond the scope of classical ethology but, while domestication has involved some behavioural changes, we shall see that much of the behaviour of our species of farm livestock differs little from that of their putative...
