Horses have long been admired for their strength, grace, and beauty, but their role in human healing extends far beyond these physical qualities. Over the years, research and practice have increasingly shown that horses possess a unique ability to promote emotional, psychological, and even physical well-being. Equine-Assisted Therapy (EAT) leverages this connection between humans and horses to foster healing in individuals facing a variety of challenges, from trauma and mental health struggles to physical disabilities. The connection between humans and horses is deeply rooted in history. Horses have been companions to humans for thousands of years, assisting in transportation, agriculture, and warfare. Throughout this history, humans have formed a deep bond with these majestic animals. Today, this bond has evolved into a therapeutic relationship, where horses act as partners in the healing process. Unlike traditional therapies, the equine approach is hands-on, experiential, and often non-verbal, allowing clients to engage in ways that feel natural and safe. One of the most remarkable aspects of horses is their ability to reflect human emotions. Horses are incredibly sensitive animals, capable of picking up on subtle cues such as body language, tone of voice, and even a person’s emotional state. This sensitivity allows horses to act as mirrors, reflecting back emotions that individuals may not be aware of or may have difficulty expressing. This process can be incredibly insightful for clients, offering them an opportunity to better understand and process their emotions.Show book

Freelance writer Sora Reid believes in inertia. She’s the odd one out in a family of go-getters, including her Japanese American mom, who hints about losing weight, and her almost-married sister, who needs Sora to get a date for the wedding, otherwise she’ll be dancing with her Scottish great-uncle Bob. For Sora, the phrase “minimal input, minimal expectations” is a way of life. The one thing that disrupts her inertia: an intense dislike for Valentine’s Day. What is it with the commercial love machine? Why do we get our hopes up, when staying home with a package of bacon and a bottle of tequila is better? Sora’s been betrayed before, and her heart feels like Grandma Mitsuye’s antique Japanese ceramic bowl with its gold-filled cracks. When her pledge to stay single inspires readers to #GoSolo, Sora wants to empower her followers. It shouldn’t be that hard, right? Enter Jack Mann, a muscle-bound baker Sora hasn’t thought of since elementary school. When a run-in at the grocery store leads to instant attraction, Sora knows she has to shut it down. She can’t #GoSolo and get the guy. She can’t let down her readers. And relationships always end, so why should Jack be different—even though he’s confounding her expectations of love? Cheerfully irreverent, bitingly funny, and filled with romantic charm, The Second You’re Single is about navigating the most romantic month of the year, and how love always comes when you least expect it.Show book

Northern India has long been a battleground for powerful invaders who established vast empires, shaping the region’s culture, politics, and economy. Among these, the Kushan Empire, the Delhi Sultanate, and the Mughal Empire stood out for their foreign origins and lasting influence on Indian civilization. The Kushans, originally from Central Asia, played a vital role in connecting India with the Silk Road, fostering trade and spreading Buddhism across the subcontinent. The Delhi Sultanate, founded by Turkic and Afghan rulers, introduced Islamic governance, transforming India's political landscape through military conquests and administrative innovations. Later, the Mughal Empire, with its Timurid roots, brought about a golden age of Indo-Islamic culture, marked by architectural marvels like the Taj Mahal, advancements in art, and economic prosperity. These empires, though foreign in origin, became deeply intertwined with India's history, leaving behind a complex yet enduring legacy of conquest, governance, and cultural exchange.Show book
