Adaptable, resilient, yet often overlooked, the goat sometimes called the'poor man's cow' is found in nearly every part of the world wherehumans live. But our relationship with this strange yet familiar animal isoddly ambivalent. In Goat, Joy Hinson explores the reasons behind thisunease, from our interaction with the endangered wild goat species ofremote mountainous regions to the more familiar farmyard goat.This book traces the history of the animal, moving from their evolution,through their domestication and global spread, to the role of goats today.
