Description
50 Animals That Changed History is a beautifully illustrated book that tells the fascinating story of fifty large and small creatures. Each of the animals described has left its mark on the development of our world and on the way we live today, for example, the horse, which has been used in wars since 4000 BC (and thus helped the Mongols conquer large parts of the world); the silkworm, which defined the textile industry for 5,500 years (and was the cause of the creation of the Silk Road between China and Europe); the honeybee, which not only provides honey and wax but is also indispensable for the pollination of all those plants and crops on which we depend for our food production. Read all about the intriguing history of these incredible animals and their significance to human civilization.
