"From the ever-talented Julia Rothman -- she of Drawn In and The Exquisite Book fame, and one of the most original illustrators working today -- comes Farm Anatomy: The Curious Parts and Pieces of Country Life, a charming illustrated guide to the intricate microcosm that underpins your dinner plate. From how to properly milk a cow to a taxonomy of squash varieties and faming tools to a morphology of barn cupolas, Rothman's warm drawings are bound to entertain, educate (did you know that a one-year-old goat is called a 'yearling' and you can use cornflower to dye wool blue?), and instill in you newfound awe and fascination with rural life."

"Farm Anatomy delivers a dose of reality. It’s presented in colorful drawings and brief text blocks, making the country life seem accessible and even attractive. Although city gardeners probably won’t be raising cattle or constructing a sheep shed, they will enjoy seeing how to build a bean teepee for climbing legumes, perusing tomato cultivation options, learning to can vegetables, and pondering beehive construction."
