As a practical handbook for the owner and as a guide to working with the veterinarian and farrier,... |

From Booklist
A companion to Sage's Handbook of American Women's History (2000), this alphabetically arranged encyclopedia focuses on ways in which women had an impact on the history of the West from the mid-1800s to the present.

The weighting is appropriate, with shorter entries for biographical profiles and longer ones for general areas of study, such as Conservation movement, 1870-1940; Education; and prostitution. Coverage is selective rather than comprehensive; for example, the... |
