The history of a cultural landscape This copiously illustrated
standard work deals for the first time with all indigenous farm
animals of the Alpine arc. The author spent two years travelling
around the various Alpine regions, seeking out the original
distribution areas and talking with breeders. The reader follows
him to visit the last herding dogs native to Eastern Tyrol and
Savoy, Evolene cattle - the smallest Alpine cattle - in the Valais,
Provencal donkeys, the last of the black Alpine pigs and the rare
blue goats of Tyrol. Extensive maps, a detailed history of the
former wide variety of Alpine farm animals, interesting facts about
conservation status and the history of breeding round off this
survey of how the region has been shaped over 7,000 years by
mankind and his domestic animals.
