"Pigology, Chickenology, and Sheepology are my
absolute favorite books about farm animals. They explain history
and science with ease and charm. These books help us to see that
reality transcends fiction, and that once we understand it, our
sense of wonder deepens, making the world more enjoyable and more
magical."
- Isabella Rossellini
"Aspirationally encyclopedic, this survey covers the pig's
evolution, domestication, characteristics, adaptations, importance
as a global food source, appearances in myth, and more....An
interesting, absorbing browser."
