It is unique in many respects: the character of its land, its native vegetation, and its indigenous animal life. The way of life developed by its human inhabitants over the past two hundred years, especially its focus on the Thoroughbred horse, is also unique. The interaction of these two forces--natural and human--is the focus for this important work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book includes color plates of representative plant and animal species and typical habitats.
