5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book, should not be going out of print

This is a great book on an often ignored topic. It is well-written, scientific, and has beautiful illustrations. I highly recommend this as an introduction to the topic. I am fascinated by anthrozoology, and as far as I see it, this text is another "must have" in the anthrozoological library. The domestication of animals has changed the human race in so many ways. We humans have to attempt to step outside our species to truly understand ourselves. This book is well worth the price. I do have a question for the author though, it's been 10 years now, where is the new edition? Don't hold back on us Juliet Clutton-Brock.

5.0 out of 5 stars C-B is still the best

Like all of J. Clutton-Brock's books this one is right on target. I'm still surprised when any writer on livestock can't figure out how big, dangerous wild cattle like Bos primigenius were induced to accept domestication. It suggest that such writers haven't spent much time around livestock breeders and their animals. This will be a standard work for a long time to come. Due to the switch from hunting/gathering to farming/herding being the biggest change our species has made since developing speech, I'm amazed that more people aren't interested in this topic. This book says as much about our humanity as it does about livestock.

4.0 out of 5 stars a good introduction to the topic

This book is well written and researched. It has numerous photos and lovely illustrations. I learned an amusing term for housecats - "exploiting captive". My only complaint is that the book was too short.
