From "Three Billy Goats Gruff" to The Men Who Stare at Goats, this inimitable ruminant has long played a role in our literature and popular culture. And yet, our relationship with the "poor man's cow" is oddly ambivalent. In the beautifully illustrated Goat, Joy Hinson explores the reason behind this unease while presenting readers with the animal's fascinating natural history and its effect on myth, medicine, and culture.
