ISBN10: 0801873444, ISBN13: 9780801873447, [publisher: Johns Hopkins University Press, Baltimore, MD] Hardcover Hardcover. How did animal breeding emerge as a movement? Who took part and for what reasons? How do the pedigree and market systems work? What light might the movement shed on the assumptions behind human eugenics? Margaret Derry provides a comprehensive and accessible book on the human quest to improve and develop livestock. Derry, herself a breeder and trained historian of science, explores the "triangle" of genetics, eugenics and practical breeding, focusing on Shorthorn cattle, show dogs and working dogs, and one type of purebred horse, the Arabian. By examining specific breeders and the animals they produced, she illuminates the role of technology, genetics, culture and economics in the system of purebred breeding. "Bred for Perfection" also provides the historical context in which this system arose, adding to our understanding of how domestication works and how our welfare - since the dawn of time - has been intertwined with the lives of animals. Bred for Perfection provides the historical context in which this system arose, adding to our understanding of how domestication works and how our welfare-since the dawn of time-has been intertwined with the lives of animals.
