  "In my eyes, my success is measured on how well my horse and I work together as a team. A ribbon is just a bonus." 
   
  Felicity Davies wrote those words at nineteen. It would take her another decade, a journey halfway across the world, and the unravelling of everything she thought she wanted, to discover what they really meant. 
   
  For years, Felicity measured her success with horses through ribbons, placings and the opinions of others. But as the horses she loved kept showing her, in different ways, that something wasn’t working, she found herself questioning everything she thought she knew. 
   
  Beyond the Ribbon is the story of what happened when she finally learned to listen. 
   
  This book follows Felicity's journey from traditional training and competition toward a more compassionate way of understanding horses, and herself. Through personal stories, the horses who changed her, and lessons drawn from the thousands of equestrians she has supported around the world, she shares the principles that transformed her own relationships: how to look beneath behaviour, understand what your horse is really communicating, build confidence and trust, and create a relationship that feels good for both of you.  
   
  Honest, warm and deeply practical, Beyond the Ribbon is for every horse lover who has ever sensed there might be another way, and feels ready to start trusting that instinct. 
   
  Because the real win was never tied around your horse’s neck. It was standing right beside you the whole time.

  Earth in Flames - How an...

  Sixty-six million years ago an asteroid as large as Mt. Everest hit what is now the Yucatan Peninsula at a speed ten times faster than the fastest rifle bullet. Debris from the impact blew into space, re-entered the atmosphere as a swarm of shooting stars that burned the global forests and grasslands, leaving behind a thin global layer containing rock from the asteroid and from Mexico, and smoke from the fires. This layer marks one of the greatest extinctions in Earth history including not just dinosaurs, but also fish, plankton, ammonites, and plants making up about 75% of the known species. 
   
   
   
  A nuclear war with just a few hundred of the world's 12,000 nuclear weapons targeted on densely populated cities could plunge Earth into the same types of conditions that the dinosaurs experienced. Even a war between India and Pakistan could kill 1 to 3 billion people from starvation due to agricultural failure, while 6 billion people might starve following a war involving Russia, NATO, and the U.S. 
   
   
   
  The book describes how the dinosaurs died, and how their deaths parallel what might happen to people after a nuclear war. The book reflects on the odds of future asteroid impacts, how to stop them, and ends with what the listeners personally and together can do to prevent a nuclear war, so that humans don't end up like the dinosaurs.

  Cancer - A Very Short...

  In 1961 John F. Kennedy pledged to put a man on the moon by the end of the decade. Nine years later, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon. Ten years later, Richard Nixon echoed this pledge by declaring a "war" on cancer. More than thirty years later, however, cancer remains one of the largest causes of death worldwide, with around one in three developing the disease. Curing cancer is not "rocket science," but the question is, why has cancer proved to be harder to tackle than the moon landings turned out to be? 
   
   
   
  Cancer research is a major economic activity. There are constant improvements in treatment techniques that result in better cure rates and increased quality and quantity of life for those with the disease, yet stories of breakthroughs in a cure for cancer are often in the media. 
   
   
   
  In this Very Short Introduction Nick James, founder of the CancerHelp UK website, examines the trends in diagnosis and treatment of the disease, as well as its economic consequences. Asking what cancer is and what causes it, he considers issues surrounding expensive drug development, what can be done to reduce the risk of developing cancer, and the use of complementary and alternative therapies.
