From the Rockies to the Himalayas, the bond between horses and humans has spanned across time and civilizations. In this archaeological journey, William T. Taylor explores how momentous events in the story of humans and horses helped create the world we live in today.

Drawing on Indigenous perspectives, ancient DNA, and new research from Mongolia to the Great Plains and beyond, Taylor guides listeners through the major discoveries that have placed the horse at the origins of globalization, trade, biological exchange, and social inequality.

    “He views life with a Jack Nicholson like, quizzical overview, a Why is this thus? disdain.” Ted Egan 
Entertaining account of Monte struggling to come to grips with Sunrise, technology and a newly-acquired 4WD bus determined to kill him. 
Monte’s amusing transition from mainstream television to freelance multimedia something-or-other; stories edgier and more chaotic than the first book, a touch of restrained madness here.

    If You Want To Receive A Sufficient Amount Of Safe Proteins And Essential Plant-Based Nutrients, Then Listen On. 
You're probably eating plant-based foods, such as pea proteins or nuts, assuming that you're getting the full variety of proteins that your body needs, but you may not realize that you often miss the essential amino acid known as lysine and that you don't assimilate the right amount of proteins. 
Normally, one of the first questions vegans are asked is how they get protein, because animal foods are considered by many to be the best source of protein— and some people think they are the only protein-containing foods. 
You must be prepared in advance to ensure that adequate amounts of nutritious proteins, vitamins, iron and calciumB-12 are obtained, not as easily found in vegan diets as in omnivorous diets containing meat rich in these nutrients. 
Nevertheless, with the best plant-based protein foods, you can eat well-balanced nutritional plans that maintain a healthy body and reduce the risk of certain illnesses. 
The audiobook will give you a full understanding of nutrition, including how much you really need, and how to get more than enough of plant foods. Armed with the details, recipes and meal plans in this book, you'll be relaxed and safe as a vegan— and have answers to those questions. 
The audiobook is also for vegetarians and meat eaters, since focusing more on the plant side of your plate is always a good thing, and you might be curious about how healthy your vegan friends can be without food. 
This audiobook is a plant-based protein guide that gives you the best resources you need to help you eat healthy meatless high-protein foods and feel better about your plant-based lifestyle.

    Having Seaman Jenna as the mascot on the USS Vandegrift was never meant to be a statement or symbolic act, or to put the crew on the radars of four-star admirals. Jenna came aboard unannounced, a Christmas gift that brought instant joy to the crew and transformed a gray ship into a home for 225 sailors. Her addition was not pre-approved by the chain of command—contrary to military protocol. Before long, Jenna became a phenomenon—the only dog on a Navy ship since World War II—despite the best efforts to keep her from the public eye. This orphaned Shiba Inu and the displaced crew shared countless adventures and trials during her five years on board. Jenna dodged being eaten in Korea (a country that still views dogs as edible fare), sidestepped Hawaii's strict quarantine law, avoided threats of being shot in Australia, charmed a Chinese admiral, and nearly initiated an international incident in Pakistan. Jenna became a symbol of the ship and of free will, and created a bond amongst the crew that remains strong decades later . . . long after her death. Neal Kusumoto is proud to say that he was the captain of that fine ship, blessed with a magnificent crew that included one special sea dog. Join Seaman Jenna as a part of the crew on her five-year adventure on the high seas.
