Adaptable, resilient, yet often overlooked, the goat—sometimes called the 'poor man's cow'—is found in nearly every part of the world where humans live. But our relationship with this strange yet familiar animal is oddly ambivalent.

In Goat, Joy Hinson explores the reasons behind this unease, from our interaction with the endangered wild goat species of remote mountainous regions to the more familiar farmyard goat. This book traces the history of the animal, moving from their evolution, through their domestication and global spread, to the role of goats today.
