DOWNLOAD EBOOKApart from the dog, the sheep was the first animal domesticated by man (in about 10,000 BC). This pioneering book on the history of our highly profitable relationship combines evidence from every possible source - anthropology, geography, folklore, linguistics, biology and agriculture. The interests of scientists, archaeologists, historians - and general readers - are all kept in view. Wool has been of prime importance throughout man's history, from ancient Babylonia ('Land of Wool') to modern Australia, and a major theme of this book is the author's own research in the variety of fleeces developed by selective breeding. Never before has the sheep, or indeed any domestic animal, been treated on such a wide chronological and geographical scale.

This mythical figure is supposedly a crazed man that has lived in the woods for years eating farmers' sheep, pigs and pets. Most of the townsfolk say it's simply untrue, but some believe it. The boys come face to face with the difference between truth and legend. They also discover that some things are better left unknown.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKEd Ueeck's (eek) life in Alaska would earn him several titles such as Master Trapper, Sourdough, and The Man from Sheep Mountain. Arriving in 1929 with just change in his pocket, Ed never looked back. Matanuska Valley's snow-capped mountains only strengthened his resolve to make it on his own. Within a year, Ed purchased a remote 80-mile trap line which circumvented Sheep Mountain and was running the trap line on showshoes by himself. Any small mistake on the trap line could cost him his life with no one to come to his rescue. Once, a wolverine he'd trapped came to life as Ed carried it over his shoulder. Quickly emptying his trusty 30-06 into the angry wolverine, Ed narrowly diverted disaster. From having one of his cabins burn to the ground in mid winter to a near shootout with a trap line jumper, Ed's story is a fascination window into the life of one of Alaska's true pioneers.

An advertising executive receives a postcard from a friend and casually appropriates the image for an advertisement.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOriginally published in 1975. In Mountain Sheep and Man in the Northern Wilds Valerius Geist, a renowned scientist, sensitive observer, and natural storyteller here recounts his experiences among, and reflections upon, the magnificent bighorned sheep of the Canadian wilderness, where he lived and worked year 'round. The book presents popular science in the best sense -- beautifully written, unmistakably accurate, innovative and thought provoking. In the book, Dr. Geist focuses on cold climates to study animal behavior and its implications for man. He makes valuable contributions to our knowledge about aggression and dominance and offers new insights into the impact of ecological factors upon the anatomy, physiology and behavior of man as well as beast. He looks critically at the role of early and modern man as hunter and tells delightful stories about his own adventures in working with big-game animals. His splendid photographs capture his enthusiasm for the land and the sheep. Finally, he ponders the lessons that urban man can learn from zoological theory so that he may better live within his ecological means. "To the names Fraser Darling, Murie, Schaller, Carpenter and Goodall must now be added Geist." Science "This book is about wilderness, animals and people. These subjects are woven together in a way that will curl your toes. Geist is an excellent writer; he has a probing mind a tempered wit and an ability to convey a total experience. Be sure to read this one." Frontiers. "Geist writes surpassingly well." Canadian Field Naturalist "This is a very well written book that will intrigue the most ingenious thinker. It reflects originality and provides accurate and interesting reading to anyone interested in wild animals." Journal of Wildlife Management "This book is immensely thought provoking." Mammal Review Valerius Geist is a graduate of the University of British Columbia, where he also received his Ph.D. He is professor emeritus of environmental science at the University of Calgary.
