A wealth of information on horses, this book would be a helpful reference for a student 4-H member and anyone interested in learning about how horses are used all over the world." * Western Horseman *"This is the horse book to end all horse books. . . . A magnificent reference for anyone with a passion for horses." * Toronto Star *"Cleverly designed and handsomely illustrated, this single-volume encyclopedia of horse breeds will serve nicely both on the reference shelf and as a desktop companion for equine enthusiasts. . . . Writing style is refreshingly straightforward. . . . Although this is published for adult readers, more than 400 richly colored photographs and illustrations will likely attract and hold the interest of young readers as well." * Booklist *"There are some 570 or possibly more varieties of horse . . . and Horses of the World covers them all. There is introductory material about horses, breeds, how we tell them apart, conservation status, etc. Each horse breed is then given one half of a page on each of two folios, so you see overleaf some illustrated text on one side, and a fuller and very official illustration on the other, for most breeds, with some variation."---Greg Laden's blog"A must for horse lovers and a fascinating browse for all readers." * Library Journal *"Well-known French equestrian writer Rousseau here offers, in translation, a detailed, large-format overview of all extant domestic and wild horses and other equine breeds (e.g., zebras), covering the origins of 570 modern breeds; their anatomy, physiology, and variations; and modern equestrian practice." * Choice *Table of ContentsIntroduction 8 Horses of the World 8 How to Identify a Breed of Horse 10 Identity Card 19 The Domestication of the Horse and the Main Equestrian Disciplines 21 How to Use This Book 23 Other Equines of the World 25 Extinct Horses 26 Wild Horses 26 Hybrids 28 Horses of Northern Europe 31 Iceland (1) 32 United Kingdom (23) 34 Ireland (5) 56 Norway (3) 60 Denmark (8) 64 Sweden (6) 70 Finland (2) 76 Horses of Southern Europe 79 Portugal (4) 80 Spain (19) 84 Italy (24) 102 Slovenia (2) 124 Croatia (2) 126 Bosnia and Herzegovina (1) 128 Serbia (1) 128 Albania (1) 129 Greece (9) 130 Horses of Western Europe 137 France (24) 138 Belgium (6) 162 Luxembourg (1) 168 Netherlands (6) 168 Germany (32) 176 Switzerland (3) 202 Austria (4) 204 Horses of Eastern Europe and Russia 209 Estonia (3) 210 Latvia (1) 212 Lithuania (3) 214 Poland (8) 216 Belarus (2) 224 Czech Republic (6) 226 Slovakia (2) 230 Hungary (9) 232 Romania (6) 242 Bulgaria (3) 246 Moldava (1) 248 Ukraine (2) 250 Georgia (3) 252 Russia (33) 254 Horses of the Middle East 279 Turkey (10) 280 Syria (1) 288 Israel 288 Saudi Arabia (1) 290 Azerbaijan (4) 292 Iran (6) 296 Horses of Central Asia 301 Turkmenistan (2) 302 Uzbekistan (1) 304 Kyrgyzstan (2) 304 Tajikistan (2) 306 Afghanistan (1) 308 Kazakhstan (4) 310 Mongolia (2) 314 Horses of the Indian Subcontinent 319 Pakistan (7) 320 India (8) 324 Sri Lanka (1) 330 Nepal (2) 332 Bhutan (3) 332 Bangladesh (1) 334 Horses of the Far East and Southeast Asia 337 China (39) 338 Myanmar (2) 362 Thailand (1) 364 Laos (1) 365 Vietnam (2) 366 Cambodia (1) 367 South Korea (1) 368 Japan (9) 370 Philippines (1) 378 Malaysia (2) 380 Indonesia (13) 382 Horses of North Africa 391 Morocco, Algeria (2) 392 Tunisia (1) 394 Egypt (1) 396 Horses of West Africa 399 Senegal (4) 400 Niger (1) 402 Togo and Benin (1) 402 Nigeria (1) 403 Cameroon (2) 404 Horses of East Africa 407 Sudan (2) 408 Ethiopia (1) 410 Somalia (1) 410 Horses of Southern Africa 413 Namibia (1) 414 South Africa (6) 414 Lesotho (1) 420 Horses of North America 423 Canada (8) 424 Saint Pierre and Miquelon (1) 430 United States (47) 432 Horses of Central America and the Caribbean 479 Bahamas (1) 480 Cuba (4) 480 Puerto Rico (1) 484 Mexico (3) 484 Costa Rica (1) 488 Horses of South America 491 Colombia (3) 492 Venezuela (1) 494 Brazil (14) 496 Peru (2) 504 Bolivia (1) 506 Chile (2) 506 Argentina (6) 508 Horses of Oceania 515 Australia (6) 516 New Zealand (1) 522 Solomon Islands 522 Tonga 522 French Polynesia (1) 524 Conclusion 526 Acknowledgments and Photograph Credits 527 Bibliographic Sources 528 Index of Horse Names 531 Some Extinct Breeds 536

Princeton University Press Where Are the Women Architects
Book SynopsisPublished in association with Places Journal.Trade Review"All too timely."--Carol Tavris, Wall Street Journal "[A] slim but sharp volume on problems women face in the architecture profession... [A] concise, accessible book."--Publishers Weekly "An excellent introduction to the recurring question that serves as the volume's title... Compact but thorough."--Library Journal, starred review "Where Are the Women Architects? ... explores the reasons why female designers have struggled to gain a foothold in the profession, despite recent efforts and campaigns, and why the attrition of women in the profession continues... From a look at Mattel's architecture Barbie, an intervention in popular culture, to an exploration of the campaign to pressure the Pritzker committee to give equal recognition to Denise Scott Brown (partner and wife of Pritzker laureate Robert Venturi) [Stratigakos] explores numerous facets of architecture's gender imbalance."--Patrick Sisson, Curbed "The book is an excellent primer if you already are concerned about the topic--but especially if you are not."--Anthony Paletta, Urban Land "Stratigakos does not analyze inequalities from afar. She documents interventions and, in some cases, she is among the main instigators. Though Stratigakos is an academic architectural historian, her own agency is a wonderful departure from the typical academic's distance from their subject."--Raj Mankad, OffCite.org "'Male-dominated' is an understatement in architecture... In this slim chronicle, architectural historian Despina Stratigakos incisively catalogues the setbacks."--Books in Brief "The insidious and hidden nature of ... internalized bias is perhaps the most compelling reason why all architects--especially those that don't think that gender equity affects them--ought to examine this issue in greater depth to see if they may unwittingly be taking part. Many architects strive to create socially-minded physical places that encourage access for all. It's imperative to ensure that the same kind of equity is being built into the profession itself."--Elsa Lam, Canadian Architect "[A] concise, highly readable book... The first chapter, in essence a history of women in architecture, gives an illuminating and detailed account of events in the US."--Flora Samuel, Times Higher Education "An important contribution to the discussion of gender and equity in architecture, Where Are the Women Architects? advances a deeper agenda: to document the swell of grassroots and institutional efforts to promote women in architecture and to mobilize new initiatives... What if it became required reading for introductory survey courses on architectural history and theory? [Stratigakos'] call to action--that equity is everyone's issue--is urgent, and it is up to all of us to pick up the charge."--Caroline James, ArchitectureBoston "In 2015, when Britain's Architecture Journal asked its readers whether they would encourage a woman to enter the profession only half said yes. Despina Stratigakos' compact book replies to this impasse and in doing so, it offers moments of despair and delight in rendering the place of women within the practice and culture of architecture... Stratigakos' provocations render this a valuable read. In fields beyond architecture too, where the loss of women eliminates a 'large and vital art of talent pool' to the detriment of both a discipline but also more broadly the community it serves by not being reflective of its make up. Perhaps in wrestling with these questions we might illuminate a path towards more sustainable forms of practice, for all practitioners--women or men."--Kerstin Thompson, Sydney Morning Herald "Reviewing criticism of women architects from each historical period and citing surveys from architects, for the most part conducted over the last decade, Stratigakos challenges stereotypes and refutes ideologies that have remained prevalent within general society and are operant within schools of architecture, architectural organizations, and the profession... [An] affirming volume."--ChoiceTable of ContentsAcknowledgments ix Introduction: Where Are the Women Architects? 1 1. May Women Practice Architecture? The First Century of Debate 5 2.

Princeton University Press The Right Wrong Man
Book SynopsisTrade Review"The case of [Demjanjuk] the death camp guard turned autoworker, related with authority and clarity."--New York Times Book Review "Douglas relates with authority and clarity the story of these complex legal processes... [He] does justice to both the story's factual complexities and its moral and political conundrums...The Right Wrong Man, from its summary title to its thoughtful postscript is an impressive work, as well as a timely one in its demonstration of the power of legal systems to learn from past missteps."--Anthony Julius, New York Times Book Review "A masterful account... Douglas deftly delivers disquisitions on nuanced legal questions as if they were plot points in a thriller, making his demanding book a pleasure."--Wall Street Journal"A tour de force owing to Douglas' piercing analysis of all the legal complexities."--Foreign Affairs"[An] admirable book... Douglas's narrative and analysis of this convoluted legal odyssey [is] extraordinarily impressive."--Christopher R. Browning, Times Literary Supplement "[M]asterful... [D]eftly delivers disquisitions on nuanced legal questions as if they were plot points in a thriller, making his demanding book a pleasure even for readers unschooled in the particulars of international law."--The Wall Street Journal "As Holocaust historian Lawrence Douglas has written, the Eichmann proceedings were the 'Great Holocaust Trial,' an unparalleled reckoning with the universal moral burden of the Nazi regime and its crimes. But what came--what could possibly come--after Eichmann? This is the question that guides Douglas's new book, The Right Wrong Man: John Demjanjuk and the Last Great Nazi War Crimes Trial... By Douglas's account, the Demjanjuk affair was a tumultuous encapsulation of much of the post-Eichmann politics of international justice, shaped as they were by the wax and wane of European communism, the creation of a nascent global architecture of legal accountability for atrocities perpetrated both during the Holocaust and elsewhere, and the global process of coming to terms with Europe's violent past."--Daniel Solomon, The New Republic "An excellent legal-minded elucidation of the long trail toward the conviction of a notorious concentration camp guard."--Kirkus "[A] story that needed telling."--Dominic Lawson, Sunday Times "Sophisticated and suspenseful, the book provides a trenchant analysis of the legal and moral dilemmas surrounding trials for genocidal crimes against humanity."--Glenn Altschuler, Jerusalem Post "[A] tour de force."--Foreign Affairs "The Right Wrong Man is an important read about the accountability those who do wrong ultimately face."--San Francisco Book Review "Formidable ... a thoughtful treatise."--Cleveland Jewish Star "In his indispensable history of the Demjanjuk case, Lawrence Douglas, the James J. Grosfeld Professor of Law, Jurisprudence, and Social Thought at Amherst College, delivers a reader-friendly history of this controversial case that provides a valuable understanding of how German law evolved from eschewing the legal principles established by the Nuremberg Tribunal to the 2011 Demjanjuk case, which marked the first time a German court had ever tried, let alone convicted, 'one of the thousands of auxiliaries who served as foot soldiers of Nazi genocide.'"--Jack Fischel, Jewish Book Council "A perceptive and thought-provoking analysis... The story told by Lawrence Douglas in The Right Wrong Man is a vital part of that narrative of barbarism [and] a remorselessly fascinating account of the longest trial of any defendant accused of Nazi crimes."--Oliver Kamm, Jewish Chronicle "[A] thoughtful treatise."--Arnold Ages, Chicago Jewish Star "Lawrence Douglas's immensely readable book absorbs the reader in the twists and turns of the Demjanjuk saga, helping us understand both why justice required prosecuting Demjanjuk for his 'egregious moral complicity,' and how the job got done."--Kevin P.

Princeton University Press Scorched Earth
Book SynopsisTrade Review"[A] sweeping history. . . . Kreike offers a stark corrective and an implicit warning: Humanity is not distinct from nature, and assuming it is can have tragic outcomes. Climate change is one; pandemics are another. In this book, catastrophic warfare is a third. Waiting for the fourth horseman would seem unwise."---Tatiana Schlossberg, New York Times Book Review"Waging war against the Earth is an old business, and this book provides ample—and dispiriting—evidence for it." * Kirkus Reviews *"Might this be the most important topic that most smart, very well educated people have never read a book on? [This] treatment is excellent and engaging."---Tyler Cowen, Marginal Revolution"Overall then, Scorched Earth is a thoroughly researched academic book that sits at the intersection of military history and environmental history and especially delivers for readers of the former. A fascinating topic that is by no means light reading."---Leon Vlieger, Inquisitive Biologist"[A] powerful statement of what people often fail to see amid the horrors of war." * Choice Reviews *

The book concludes with chapters on the importance of pollination to humankind and . . . . point[s] again and again at the fragile intricacies of the natural world, offer the most eloquent argument for conservation of all."---Rory Dusoir, Gardens Illustrated"A literary elixir of life, precisely the book which will reveal and explain the extraordinary mechanisms of pollination . . . .
