Beschreibung

In "Lectures on Horsemanship," the anonymous author presents an insightful exploration into the art and science of horse riding, combining practical instruction with a philosophical examination of the rider-horse relationship. The work is characterized by its didactic style, blending anecdotal narratives with technical expertise, making it accessible to both novice riders and seasoned equestrians. The author draws from historical precedents and contemporary techniques, situating the text within the broader context of 18th-century literature that sought to elevate horsemanship from a mere practical skill to an esteemed art form. The anonymity of the author adds an intriguing layer to the text, evoking the tradition of equestrian literature that often transcended individual authorship in favor of communal knowledge-sharing. This author likely emerged from a background steeped in equestrian culture, reflecting a synthesis of military, agricultural, and leisure pursuits that defined social hierarchies of the time. The effort to disseminate this knowledge aligns with contemporary movements advocating for the ethical treatment and understanding of horses. "Lectures on Horsemanship" is essential reading for those passionate about equine studies and for anyone looking to deepen their connection to these magnificent animals. It serves as both a manual and a meditative text, urging readers to cultivate respect and empathy within the practice of horsemanship, making it a timeless addition to the genre.

    When we go for a walk, whether in the countryside or city, we pass through landscapes full of natural beauty and curiosities both visible and invisible - but though we might admire the view, or wonder idly about the name of a flower, we rarely have the knowledge to fully engage with what we see. When we do, our sense of place is expanded, our understanding deepened and we can discover richness in even the most everyday stroll. 
     
    John Wright has been leading forays around Britain for decades. As an expert forager, he shows people how to identify the edible species that abound - but he also reveals the natural history, stories and science behind our surroundings. Here, he takes us with him on eight walks: from verdant forests to wild coastlines, via city pavements, fields and rolling hills, he illuminates what can be found on a walk across any British terrain, and how you might observe and truly understand them, for yourself.

    The period before the rise of the Sui Dynasty was marked by fragmentation and instability, as China remained divided between the Northern and Southern Dynasties. This era, which lasted from the late 4th century to the late 6th century, was characterized by constant warfare, shifting alliances, and a deep cultural divide between the north and south. The fall of this system set the stage for the reunification of China under the Sui Dynasty. 
    The north was ruled by a succession of non-Han Chinese states, often founded by nomadic groups that had migrated into China during the decline of the Western Jin Dynasty. The Northern Wei, established by the Tuoba clan of the Xianbei people, was the most powerful of these states. Over time, the rulers of the Northern Wei adopted Chinese customs, Confucian governance, and Buddhism, which helped stabilize their rule. However, internal struggles, court intrigue, and opposition from powerful aristocratic families led to the dynasty’s division into the Eastern and Western Wei, eventually giving rise to the Northern Qi and Northern Zhou dynasties. 
    In contrast, the Southern Dynasties were ruled by Han Chinese elites who maintained a more traditional Chinese way of life. The Eastern Jin, followed by the Liu Song, Southern Qi, Liang, and Chen dynasties, governed the southern regions, centered around the lower Yangtze River. These dynasties often suffered from weak central control, as powerful noble families exerted significant influence over the government. While the south was culturally rich and economically prosperous, political instability and frequent coups weakened its ability to resist northern invasions.
