"""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."" - Kirkus Reviews,"
