From the plains of ancient Mesopotamia to the vast farms of modern-day Australia, the domesticated ungulates of the genus Ovis—sheep—have been central to the human story. Starting with our Neolithic ancestors' first forays into sheep-rearing nearly 10,000 years ago, Sally Coulthard explores how these remarkable animals have fed us, clothed us, changed our diet and languages, helped us to win wars, decorated our homes, and financed the conquest of large swathes of the earth. Illustrated with lovely woodcuts, Coulthard's book is also filled with fascinating facts, ovine lore, and great moments in sheep history.
