A comprehensive, richly illustrated introduction to the fascinating natural history of the pig, from prehistory to the present
At any given time, there are around one billion pigs in the world; that's one for every seven of us. And where would we be without them? Prolific, ubiquitous, smart, adaptable, and providers of high-quality protein, pigs have been our companions since neolithic times, when they obligingly domesticated themselves, coming in from the wild to root around our waste pits. But it's not all about the bacon; today, bred in micro sizes, the resourceful pig has developed a whole new career as a popular pet. And thanks to genome mapping, we now know that the pig shares many common physiological features with humans, spurring the use of pig tissue and organs in medical research and surgery. Beautifully designed and illustrated, The Pig provides a snout-to-tail natural history of this important species, from the prehistoric hell pig to today's placid porker, covering the pig's evolution and domestication, anatomy and biology, behavior, role in human life and culture, and breeds. The book also features an engrossing and visually stunning photographic gallery of some thirty popular breeds from around the world, with essential information about each. Filled with surprising facts and insights, The Pig will delight anyone who loves these animals and wants to understand them better.- Provides a comprehensive, richly illustrated introduction to the pig's evolution and domestication, anatomy and biology, behavior, role in human life and culture, and breeds

Very cute, but the colors are a bit limited！！
Color: Dark Green/Azure Internal Mirrored Silver, Lens Width: 53 Millimeters
These oval oval sunglasses are super cute ，They will look great on any shape of face. Green is one of my favorite colors, but green is also a great test of matching skills! The lenses of Swarovski sunglasses are coated with a 100% UV protective coating to protect your eyes from UV rays！

My son loved them
Style: Hinged Post
They were really nice and I thought about keeping them for myself. LOL Gave them to my son as a gift and he loved them. He wears them all the time and they still look good. They are just the right size that a girl or guy can wear them.
