Sinossi

"Horse Wide Vision" explores the remarkable visual capabilities of horses, revealing how their unique sensory perception shapes their behavior and survival strategies. Horses possess a near-panoramic field of view, allowing them to detect predators approaching from almost any direction. This adaptation is crucial for prey animals in open environments, where constant vigilance is essential.

 
One intriguing fact is the presence of the tapetum lucidum, a reflective layer in the eye that enhances night vision, aiding in predator detection during low-light conditions. The book delves into the equine anatomy and physiology, neural processing, and behavioral implications of their wide field of view.

 
It progresses from the fundamental concepts of equine visual anatomy to the neural pathways involved in motion detection and spatial awareness. Through anatomical studies, electrophysiological recordings, and behavioral experiments, the book highlights the impact of domestication on visual behavior and the integration of visual and auditory information for threat assessment.

 
Ultimately, "Horse Wide Vision" demonstrates how understanding equine vision can lead to better horse management and training practices, creating safer and more enriching environments for these magnificent animals.

    The Narrow Smile is a portrait of the Pathan and their highland home on either side of the Pakistan-Afghan frontier. Peter Mayne grew up in India, and later spent four years on the Northwest Frontier during the Second World War. He delighted in the company of these fierce but hospitable highlanders, who were as hard as the mountains that assured their independence but democratic to the point that no man admitted the right of another to lead him. In 1953, Mayne took a long journey to see what had become of his old friends in the high, flower-filled valleys on the roof of the world. But peace had always been a relative concept on this frontier, where Afghanistan was now eyeing Pashtun lands in a new iteration of the Great Game. Mayne's misadventures are sometimes serious, often very funny, and at all times compassionate.
