"The Last of the Wild Horses has held up the wild horse, and our treatment of it, as metaphor for our modern society's attitudes to all wildlife. This edition brings readers up to date with the Prezewalski, or "Spirit Horse," which faced extinction but a decade ago. Conservation efforts have meant that their numbers have grown from a scant 400 to more than 1,200, and ongoing efforts by organizations worldwide promise to save this species from extinction. The Last of the Wild Horses is an evocative celebration of seven distinctive wild horses from around the world, including the Tarpans of Poland, the horses of Sable Island, the Australian Brumbies, and the Mustangs of the American West. It will delight all those who respond to the romance and beauty of these animals."--
