La culture equestre de I'Occident XVIe-XIXe siecle. L'ombre du cheval. Tome premier, Le cbeval moteur [Western Horse Culture from the 16th-19th Centuries

摘要

In light of recent discussions concerning 'horsification', the initiative of the Brussels municipality to collect waste by horse traction seems rather surprising and contradicts the commonly accepted association of horses with the countryside. After reading this important book by Daniel Roche, however, this evolution makes perfect sense. His book is the first of three volumes dedicated to the 'culture equestre' (horse culture).
