Fifty-six million years ago, the proto-horse was a "twelve-pound runt" that balanced on feet with four toes. The first glimpse we have of what he looked like and how he was evolving are images found painted across the Paleolithic Lascaux Cave in southern France. Anthropologist and equestrian expert Susanna Forrest presents a singular, sweeping panorama of the animal's prominent role across time and in societies around the world. Combining fascinating anthropological detail and incisive personal anecdotes, Forrest illustrates how our evolution has coincided with that of horses. She deftly synthesizes historical material with her experience in the field, traveling the globe to give us a diverse, comprehensive look at the horse in our lives today: from Mongolia where she observes the endangered takhi, to a show-horse performance at the Palace of Versailles and then to Arlington, Virginia, where veterans with PTSD are rehabilitated through interaction with horses. Unique, passionate, and insightful, this book investigates the complexities of human and horse coexistence, brilliantly revealing the multifaceted ways our cultures were shaped by this powerful creature.Binding Type: Paperback

Exactly what I was looking for.
Color: Brown, Size: 3 Panel, Color: Brown, Size: 3 Panel
Although other reviews found this item was too lightweight and flimsy, frankly it was exactly what I was looking for. I needed to partition my workspace off from the rest of the room and I wanted something that I could easily attach to the back of an unfinished bookcase as part of creating a private space. It was perfect. Lightweight easy to handle and I didn't mind putting some nails through it. Great price point for what I needed.

Made cheaply.
Color: White, Size: 3 Panel
Seems fairly sturdy ( 3 panel white) but made with extremely cheap materials that will not last. The cheap materials are very noticeable with the white screen. No assembly needed. Would not but again.

Beautiful brown privacy screen!
Color: Brown, Size: 3 Panel, Color: Brown, Size: 3 Panel
Why did you pick this product vs others?:
The measurements were perfect for what I was looking for. The length and width are the same as my rattan raised garden bed which I have placed in front of the screen on the deck. This secures the screen so there is no issue of weather conditions. I have been looking for weeks for a privacy screen at every possible product and combination. and almost gave up when I noticed the measurements of the screen would fit behind my raised bed! Now I am going to plant some flowers in it. This is a terrific buy for me. i am so happy!
Looks great:
The perfect size, color, and design match my brown deck rattan furniture.
Ease of assembly:
No assembly which is nice in this hot weather!
Room divider:
It provides much needed privacy

Love it it was perfect for what I needed it for. Good quality!
Size: 4 Panel, Color: Black
It like a very dark chocolate brown/black. What I liked most about it is that you just pull it out of the box take the long plastic film off of it and it's ready to go. It has protective feet on the bottom. It's very attractive and it was so easy. It's so nice when you have a product you don't have to assemble.
