Deer (Animal)
- Used Book in Good Condition
The Celts called them â€œfairy cattleâ€ and the Greeks associated them with theÂ hunter goddess Artemis, but for most people today, deer are seen as cute, like Bambi, or noble, like the Monarch of the Glen. They can be a danger when we're driving at night, or they can simply be a tasty venison burger. But while we may not often eat humble pieâ€”an actual pie filled with deer organsâ€”deer still appear in religion and mythology, on coats of arms, in fine art, and in literature ranging from The Yearling to Harry Potter and The Chronicles of Narnia. In Deer, veterinarian and deer farmer John Fletcher brings together the cultural and natural history of these dignified animals.
Â
Fletcher traces the evolution of deer, explaining why deer grow and cast aside their antlers each year and describing their symbolismÂ in various cultures throughout history. He divulges the true story of Rudolph and Santaâ€™s other reindeer and explores the role deer have played as prized objects of the hunt in Europe, Asia, and America. Wide-ranging and richly illustrated, Deer provides a fresh perspective on this graceful, powerful animal that will appeal to hunters and gatherers alike.
