Back of book: Humans are explorers by nature, embarking on life journeys that often lead through darkness and uncertainty. By comparison, horses, who for centuries have been alongside us, are never lost. Because of this, when horses join a person in their journey the horses help them navigate the distance between head and heart. we call our work equine co-facilitated therapy Some horses do more than read the room; they take the energy and go with it, as if they are expert therapists themselves. As experienced facilitators, dedicated to the field of equine therapy, we support clients in making their own unique meaning of the powerful language of the horse. When we witness horses doing seemingly magical things we, as therapists, are not passive in the process; we are vital co-facilitators who maintain the human boundaries of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual safety during sessions.

Foundations
From one of the world's most influential designers, a rich tour-de-force that explores how history, character, and vision come together to make a home at once timeless and personal. Nate Berkus is beloved for his elegant, narrative-driven interiors that are layered and deeply personal. In this beautifully photographed book, filled with Nate's warmth and years of knowledge, he shares his Four Tenets of Good Design. They are not a recipe to follow, as much as they are inspirational ideas to help get you started: Make it Personal--Draw inspiration from the places you've been, what you love, and who you aspire to be at home. Embrace History--A room feels most complete when it has old things in it; think about where you can bring in objects and details that have stood the test of time. Build Character--Consider introducing architectural details, classic materials, and timeless finishes that will make your home unique. Develop a Vision--Turn your inspiration into a design that embodies who you want to be at home and how you want to live. For Nate Berkus, enduring design is honest, emotional, and tailored to the people who live in it. That means creating rooms that can grow and evolve with you. Foundations is an invitation and inspiration to design a space that is unequivocally yours.
The Science of Pets
In the tradition of The Inside of a Dog, top science writer and TV personality Jay Ingram shares new insights into the hearts, minds, and bodies of the animals who love us (or do they?). More than one billion pets live in homes around the world, sleeping on dog beds, clawing at cat trees, swimming in bowls, crawling around in aquariums. Canada, the United States, Brazil, the EU, and China make up half of those households, with half of the world's population owning a pet of some sort. Yet despite the ubiquitous animals that lick our faces and steal food off the counter, we really don't know a lot about the scientific side of their existence: why do dogs spin around when excited, do our cats really love us, do lizards make good pets, can single-celled organisms be considered pets (you can cut the hydra in two and have two pets!), what are parrots thinking, and can a horse be considered a pet? Or pigs (even those sent to market)? Or praying mantises? Or how about robot pets in Japan, caring for the elderly? Veteran science broadcaster and journalist Jay Ingram, author of twenty popular science titles, including the bestselling Science of Why series, has researched the latest science behind our beloved furry, and not-so-furry, creatures that sleep on our sofas and eat our pizza crusts. Along the way, he discusses the myths and misconceptions about our companions: do dogs always do their business facing north? Why are we seeing a rise in exotic pets such as tigers and bears? Are the deer and foxes we see "rescued" on Instagram considered pets and could they be domesticated? Did dogs entirely evolve from wolves, and why? Can you communicate with a turtle? Do highly intelligent octopi make good pets? And why are baby animals, like baby humans, so darned cute: have they evolved to be born cute as a survival mechanism, and would that cuteness matter to others of their own kind who might consider them their next lunch? Full of fabulous insights, humorous asides, and the wisdom of decades in science reporting, The Science of Pets will elucidate as it entertains. You will never look at your pets the same way again (but be sure they're watching you closely).

Yo' Mama's Disfunktional!
From the celebrated author of Freedom Dreams, a thought-provoking look at how the multicolored urban working class are the solution--not the problem--to the ills of American cities A limited Beacon Classics edition, with a gorgeous spot gloss cover and retro, classic palette In this classic work, acclaimed historian Robin D. G. Kelley undermines false perceptions of Black culture to highlight how grassroots movements hold the key to revolutionizing urban America.

He critiques both conservatives and liberals for ignoring what these cultural forms mean for their practitioners. Blending wit, intellect, and historical detail, he offers groundbreaking analyses of the multicultural roots of Black urban culture and the mistakes of the labor movement in denying the importance of cultural factors. With Kelley's crucial insights as timely now as when they were first published, this repackaged edition of Yo' Mama's Disfunktional! shows how the most heartening progress toward a better future for urban America is revealed in urban grassroots movements.

The Forever Dog
#1 New York Times BestsellerIn this pathbreaking guide, two of the world's most popular and trusted pet care advocates reveal new science to teach us how to delay aging and provide a long, happy, healthy life for our canine companions.Like their human counterparts, dogs have been getting sicker and dying prematurely over the past few decades. Why? Scientists are beginning to understand that the chronic diseases afflicting humans--cancer, obesity, diabetes, organ degeneration, and autoimmune disorders--also beset canines. As a result, our beloved companions are vexed with preventable health problems throughout much of their lives and suffer shorter life spans. Because our pets can't make health and lifestyle decisions for themselves, it's up to pet parents to make smart, science-backed choices for lasting vitality and health. The Forever Dog gives us the practical, proven tools to protect our loyal four-legged companions. Rodney Habib and Karen Becker, DVM, globetrotted (pre-pandemic) to galvanize the best wisdom from top geneticists, microbiologists, and longevity researchers; they also interviewed people whose dogs have lived into their 20s and even 30s. The result is this unprecedented and comprehensive guide, filled with surprising information, invaluable advice, and inspiring stories about dogs and the people who love them.The Forever Dog prescriptive plan focuses on diet and nutrition, movement, environmental exposures, and stress reduction, and can be tailored to the genetic predisposition of particular breeds or mixes. The authors discuss various types of food--including what the commercial manufacturers don't want us to know--and offer recipes, easy solutions, and tips for making sure our dogs obtain the nutrients they need. Habib and Dr. Becker also explore how external factors we often don't think about can greatly affect a dog's overall health and wellbeing, from everyday insults to the body and its physiology, to the role our own lifestyles and our vets' choices play. Indeed, the health equation works both ways and can travel "up the leash."Medical breakthroughs have expanded our choices for canine health--if you know what they are. This definitive dog-care guide empowers us with the knowledge we need to make wise choices, and to keep our dogs healthy and happy for years to come.

Unions Flying High
Complex and closely watched, the U.S. airline industry has long been a stronghold of union labor. Airline unions function as democracies that organize strikes, raise concern about important safety issues, and back mergers that would not move forward without their support. They use their power to improve workers' lives and to enhance safety, which can be threatened by corporate over-commitment to ensuring profits. This book draws from the experience of Miami Herald's former airlines reporter, Ted Reed, who offers an insider's view of the unions' victories, losses, and larger-than-life leaders. From the beginning of his career in the late 1980s, it was evident that covering the airline industry also meant covering the labor unions that represented nearly every group of employees. His 30 years of experience have spanned multiple major strikes and other union events, and the stories he shares are critical to understanding the role of labor organization in the airline industry.
