Goat
by Hinson, Joy
"Adaptable, resilient, yet often overlooked, the goat--sometimes called the 'poor man's cow'--is found in nearly every part of the world where humans live. But our relationship with this strange yet familiar animal is oddly ambivalent. Goat explores the reasons behind this unease, from our interaction with the endangered wild species of remote mountainous regions to the more familiar farmyard animal."--Page 4 of cover.
