I used this book for an animal science class in college. I'm quite familiar with horses, but never the less, this book is definitely recommended for most anyone to have around as a basic horse book. For new horseback riders or owners, I'd definitely recommended it. The author covers essentially every topic imaginable, from behavior, conformation, breeds, stabling, feed, teeth, gaits, handling, conditioning, grooming, illnesses, farriers, diseases, performance, breeding and genetics. Even though I was familiar with most of the material covered, it is extremely handy to have such a book on hand for things like a dental chart for aging, or the wight to energy ratios for various grains. Just a lot of stuff down in writing that you might not always remember off the top of your head.

HORUS SAVES is a wonderfully funny work on the motivations behind religious movements. It provides laughter on every page, but also sticks with historic FACT - this is an exceptional book with many layers of information contained between its covers! Don't miss it!

Hot Biscuits is a very highly entertaining and recommended anthology of 18 original stories about the ranching West by both men and women provide a fine Western flavor and diversity, from a story of cowpokes who wrangle bargain horses to Dick Hyson's story of cowboys, truth, and a good yarn. Chatty, revealing, and filled with twists and turns are these old-fashioned Westerns.

When I read this book I was struck by what seemed to be the presence of the author's life in his work. His poetry carries a visuality and immediacy that brings a visceral quality to the work as a whole. I was touched by the personal contact I felt after having immersed myself into the depth of it. This is an author that knows the power of the perfect word or phrase. I highly recommend it for those who seek literature that has a strength beyond mere words.

Not your usual stuff. A very funny book with advice you can actually use. I say every senior citizen should have a copy. What's more, it makes a good gift if you have friends getting near the senior citizen tag.

This wonderful little book makes me wonder why white male preachers continue to be so breath-takingly dull. As a white woman, I side completely with the courageous, dynamic presentations of Black preachers in all their varieties of discourse. Highly recommended.

My discerning 3-year-old loved this one. The story is interesting enough to keep the listener's attention, yet repetitive enough to let him or her participate (e.g. screaming out the title, every other page). Illustrations are great, too. I'm going to buy this for my friends' kids.

This is a great poem dealing with the trials of a strong black women

A therapist I know showed me this book and I had tears in my eyes while reading it. I'm buying it for my 2 granddaughters who are living this awful experience.

An excellent source-book for anyone studying Middle English. It compiles an extensive selection of excerpts which demonstrate the ways in which medieval English writers struggled with the concept of writing in English, and defended their use of the vernacular. The accompanying essays range from excellent to mediocre, but the texts themselves make the book worth buying. By compiling texts about medieval literary theory, this book begins to fill a major gap in medieval studies.
