This action-packed story by the famous Ukrainian writer Zirka Menzatyuk is included in the school curriculum for the 5th grade. It all started with the fact that Mashka appeared in the Rusnak family - an old, battered, and still not so bad vehicle. And then one freaky ghost reported that an ancient Cossack relic could fall into bad hands... Crazy races, death traps, new acquaintances with cool and not very cool guys, dangerous, travels, full of mysticism and delight, through the ancient castles of Ukraine in search of a Cossack sabre... You won't put the book down until you read it.
This book continues to provide a comprehensive overview of equine behaviour and an outline of current advances in our understanding, as well as offering insights into contemporary and future challenges for improving horse welfare and safety.

A range of international experts and key opinion leaders have updated this edition to include the effects of noise on the horse's welfare, husbandry and grazing management including the identification of harmful plants and issues of climate change. New illustrations and examples bring the book to life and further help to explain equine behaviour in a whole range of different situations, including road transport and horse safety during transport. The text covers key issues concerning equipment and the horse's mouth. It gives new insights into genetics, temperament and horse vocalisations and what these indicate. Welfare assessment models are outlined and the challenges presented in different equestrian sports debated. Difficult topics such as euthanasia are covered also. This classic text remains an essential resource for veterinarians, animal scientists, equine professionals and horse owners.

Southern Africa played a varied but vital role in Britain's maritime and imperial stories: it was one of the most intricate pieces in the British imperial strategic jigsaw, and representations of southern African landscape and maritime spaces reflect its multifaceted position. Representing Africa examines the ways in which British travellers, explorers and artists viewed southern Africa in a period of evolving and expanding British interest in the region. Drawing on a wide range of archival sources, contemporary travelogues and visual images, many of which have not previously been published in this context, this book posits landscape as a useful prism through which to view changing British attitudes towards Africa. Richly illustrated, this book will be essential reading for scholars and students interested in British, African, imperial and exploration history, art history, and landscape and environment studies.

Sie ist vielleicht nicht hübsch, aber sie hat Stil, sagten die Kommilitoninnen über Iris, als sie in New York Kunstgeschichte studierte. Schon als Kind erlebte sie in der Boutique ihrer Eltern die Faszination von Mode und Design. Diese Faszination durch das Schöne hat sie von klein auf selbstbewusst verkörpert. Und zu ihrem Beruf gemacht. Als Journalistin, Autorin, Model, Ausstellungsmacherin und Beraterin von neun Präsidenten, denen sie als Innenarchitektin Farbe, Glanz und Flair ins Weiße Haus brachte. Stil ist keine Frage des Alters, nach diesem Motto lebt und arbeitet die inzwischen 102 Jahre alte Stil-Ikone noch immer. Little People, Big Dreams erzählt von den beeindruckenden Lebensgeschichten großer Menschen: Jede dieser Persönlichkeiten, ob Philosophin, Forscherin oder Sportler, hat Unvorstellbares erreicht. Dabei begann alles, als sie noch klein waren: mit großen Träumen.

Electronic information distribution has become undeniably important in the hospitality and tourism sectors. Using a combination of narrative, analysis and case studies, this text traces the origins of electronic distribution in tourism and places current developments in context, while also looking at developing technologies and assessing their potential effect on the industry of the future. It is written from a managerial (rather than a technical) perspective, and takes an international approach with worldwide analysis and case studies encompassing Europe and the USA as well as the global marketplace. These include discussions of the distribution strategies of companies such as SABRE, Group Accor, Holiday Inn, Utell International, Best Western, as well as examinations of developing systems such as TIS, Gulliver, TravelWeb, Microsoft Expedia, Degriftour, Imminus and THG. Developments in all sectors of the tourism and hospitality industries are explored, but particular emphasis is placed on the accommodation product, illustrating its information distribution through each of the different systems.
