Roger Caras's exhilarating exploration of the enduring ties between man and beast, brings to light the far-reaching impact domesticated animals have had on shaping the course of human civilization. Spanning centuries of history, Caras discusses the birth of agriculture through the domestication of sheep and goats and the role of the camel in bringing about the meeting of Eastern and Western cultures. Additionally, he shows the aid horses, donkeys and other beasts of burden have given, from construction to transportation, vastly reducing human toil and hardship. Plus the often understimated contributions of dogs, who have served not only as faithful friends, but as a diligent herders, hunters, and guards. As much about humans as animals, A PERFECT HARMONY is a landmark work, a compelling exploration of a vital but virtually ignored aspect of human history.
