The first in-depth account of the storied history of guinea pig and human interaction, this book shows how guinea pigs have influenced humans since earliest times, including scientists such as William Harvey, and painters from Jan Brueghel to Beatrix Potter.

Wild Boar traces the history of the interaction between humans and wild boar in fascinating detail, from the iconic beasts of myth and legend, such as the Calydonian Boar, to the adoption of the boar as a heraldic device.
