  Rory Land - The Up-and-Down...

  Timothy M. Gay writes that four-time major champion Rory McIlroy is "golf's ageless Opie Taylor," a superstar whose charm transcends national boundaries and enlivens the game. His swing is so powerful that Tiger Woods is teaching his own son to mimic Rory's action. 
   
   
   
  But a charismatic persona and a pretty swing don't translate into winning championships. Rory has failed to win another major and fallen short of achieving the career Grand Slam. 
   
   
   
  He's become a lightning rod, getting into a smackdown at the '23 Ryder Cup and, after his betrayal by PGA Tour brass, causing confusion by going from an impassioned opponent of a deal with the Saudi-backed LIV Golf to an outspoken proponent. 
   
   
   
  McIlroy is from Northern Ireland, a geopolitical anomaly where religion and patriotism have been used as bloody cudgels. Both sides of his family were battered by the North's sectarian Troubles. 
   
   
   
  Rory is a man essentially without a country, which might explain why he's become so obsessed with the Ryder Cup. Gay argues that McIlroy has invented his own fiefdom, which the author has dubbed "RORY LAND." 
   
   
   
  Rory Land tells the saga of a compassionate superstar living in a world where "money has no conscience."

  Standing in a Field with Horses

  A memoir of equine connection. 
  If you're not "boss mare" material, can you still work with horses? This was the question Maeve faced each time she interacted with a horse. If it wasn't in her nature to dominate this animal, could she be around them and still stay true to herself? The equestrian world shouted in unison, "Get after him! Tell him who's boss!" Yet Maeve couldn't. When she did, it grated against her soul. Could she successfully navigate a life with equines if her leadership looked different? 
  In this moving memoir, Maeve Birch explores the dynamics between traditional horse handling and her communications with horses, which often didn’t align with what she was taught. In the stories shared, human issues such as codependency, lack of boundaries, impatience, violence, and fear crop up again and again, shaping horse and human relationships. Standing in a Field With Horses provides a window into the mind, spirituality, and social undercurrents of a woman trapped between obedience and self-expression along with the horses. Will she be able to stand in the current or will she be pulled under? 
  As horse care and training evolve, so too do the humans who cherish their hooved companions. The two are inescapably linked together, both in the physical realm and in spirit. In the future, will we break horses to fit us and our human world, or will we allow them to guide us into new worlds, new ways of existing and experiencing? The horses have a lot to say if we are still enough to perceive their whispers through the demands of our human psyche. A new way of being with horses is on the horizon. The hoofbeats approach. Come, stand in a field, and listen closely… You may hear more than you expect.
