Actually it's very well done, insofar as the information is intriguing and objective, and modern in its outlook - it takes into account the effects of our interactions with ohter animals. The illustrations could be higher quality, but I guess that would mean a much more expensive book. I imagined myself ducking in and out of this book to check on specific entries of interest, but instead I read it from cover to cover. Congratulations to Eric Chaline! I hope he regularly puts out updated versions. ( ) 50 dieren die de geschiedenis veranderd hebben is een prachtig geïllustreerd boek dat het fascinerende verhaal vertelt van vijftig grote en kleine schepselen. Elk van de beschreven dieren heeft zijn stempel gedrukt op de ontwikkeling van onze wereld en op de manier waarop we nu leven, bijvoorbeeld het paard, dat al sinds 4000 voor Christus in oorlogen wordt gebruikt (en zo de Mongolen hielp om grote delen van de wereld te veroveren); de zijderups, die 5500 jaar lang bepalend was voor de textielindustrie (en de oorzaak van het ontstaan van de Zijderoute tussen China en Europa); de honingbij, die niet alleen honing en was levert, maar ook onmisbaar is voor de bestuiving van al die planten en gewassen waarvan we voor onze voedselproductie afhankelijk zijn. Lees alles over de intrigerende geschiedenis van deze ongelooflijke dieren en hun betekenis voor de menselijke beschaving. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

The 50 animals include the horse, dog, rat, whale, reindeer, beaver, flea, leech, dodo, falcon, oyster and shark. These creatures, great and small, have played central roles in the evolution of humankind, but they have remained at the periphery of our understanding of history. Whether it is an advancement in scientific knowledge, a trade war, disease and death, battles won and lost, or encounters with explorers in unknown lands, these animals have changed the course of history.
