"Until the popularization of the family car, horses and humans lived, worked, and played side by side. With the invention of the wheel, saddle, bit, and bridle; horses pulled far-flung lands closer together at the speed of a gallop. Trade, agriculture, exploration, and war-none of these would have been possible in the same way without horses. In dazzling spreads packed with maps, sidebars, and other hidden gems, Jennifer Thermes tackles the history of the horse. Horse Power explores horses' evolution.

I have to say upfront that I don’t believe in using horses (or any animal or human child) in any way for any sort of financial gain. I don’t believe in riding horses either, even though I know there are good therapeutic programs and in some cases great love between horses & human riders. One half star off for that personal reason. 4-1/2 stars. That said, I will review the book.

The book is pretty much perfect. The illustrations, including the illustrated pictorial maps, are beautifully done and I loved them all. I could spend ages looking at the pictures.

The information provided is first rate excellent. Great history, great info about different horses & places and horses in human history. An author’s note, a short list of sources, and a timeline are included in the back. Any young (or any age) reader interested in horses is bound to appreciate and enjoy this book. I was never horse obsessed but I have several friends who were (and/or are) and this book would be perfect for them. I wish it had been around when I was young because I can think of a few friends I’d have bought it for as their birthday gift.

Until I had the book in hand I hadn’t realized that it was written & illustrated by the same person who did the book Manhattan: Mapping the Story of an Island another book I loved. I’ll be looking out for more books by Jennifer Thermes.

Highly recommended for anyone who has interest in the subject. ( )
