A richly illustrated look at the people and animals of rodeo, from the rules of competition to the drama and action of each event. Lynn Campion, who grew up in Colorado, traveled to many rodeos over a period of years, taking photographs, conducting interviews, and studying the complexities of the competition. She provides a fascinating look inside the world of rodeo -- including how the competitors prepare for their events, how the livestock are raised and selected, and what it takes to win. Beautifully designed and illustrated with 200 full-color photographs, this is an honest and rich celebration of a sport that is both an art and a way of life. ¿Spectacular photos.¿ ¿This book is a stand-out.¿
