This sumptuous tribute to the earth's most beautiful animal has been redesigned in a new mini format that is 100 pages longer than the original. Renowned photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand—master of light and shadow, angle and exposure—etches these magnificent creatures and their human partners in photographs shot on location and around the globe, from Montana to Russia, central Asia to Argentina, Mongolia and Cameroon, and points in between. Each moment captured offers a glimpse of the breath of humanity, and man's powerful and moving relationship with the horse. Full of tribal costume, local color, and panoramic scenery—accompanied by the text of equine expert Jean-Louis Gouraud—Horses is a project of unparalleled ambition and scope. Average Rating:

Then you will adore this book. The photos, taken around the world, are taken against a broad long well lit canvas.

The lighting is varied giving rise to different moods, feelings, emotions. The horses are splendid. Rating: - Love it!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. Rating: - Horses by Yann Arthus-Bertrand......For anyone who treasures the Horse. Interesting presentation and history of the breeds. A perfect coffee table book. Rating: - Beyond the stunning photos...........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 ... Read More
