 beautiful beyond compare!!! July 19, 2008
Do you like Munnings? Do you like Stubbs paintings? Then you will adore this book. The photos, taken around the world, are taken against a broad long well lit canvas. Some of the photos show the horses and riders or owners standing against the canvas behind which are snow-capped mountains or long low plains. It is an uplifting book. It will make you happy.
The lighting is varied giving rise to different moods, feelings, emotions. The horses are splendid.
Love it! July 13, 2008
I really love this book. It has gorgeous illustrations and amazing stories as well as a wealth of information about rare breeds of horses all over the world.
Horses by Yann Arthus-Bertrand...... May 23, 2008
For anyone who treasures the Horse. Interesting presentation and history of the breeds. A perfect coffee table book.
Beyond the stunning photos........... May 8, 2008
The magnificant photos speak for themselves and sold me on the book without my even realizing how wonderful the literary content is. Written as if it could be a sociology text, there is more interesting cultural information than in anything I've read in a long time. The history of the horse as we know it today is laid out in such a fasinating way that even those who may not love horses will come to admire the remarkable relationship they have with man. True, we have organized their strengths around our needs; however, this book captures the essence of their unique spirit and spiritual connection with man.
First Amazon purchase October 15, 2007
This was my first Amazon purchase and I was happy to find my item available. The transaction was simple, smooth and prompt confirmation. I was extremely impressed when the status of my order showed 2-3 weeks before I would receive the package and I ended up receiving it within the week. The book is a beautiful piece of art and wonderfully displayed on my counter with Remington bronze sculpture, however the outside corrugated shipping box had some small damage, hence the inside packaging tore a small piece on the book cover. I was still content with the transaction as a whole.
