Sinossi

"Horse Wide Vision" explores the remarkable visual capabilities of horses, revealing how their unique sensory perception shapes their behavior and survival strategies. Horses possess a near-panoramic field of view, allowing them to detect predators approaching from almost any direction. This adaptation is crucial for prey animals in open environments, where constant vigilance is essential.

 
One intriguing fact is the presence of the tapetum lucidum, a reflective layer in the eye that enhances night vision, aiding in predator detection during low-light conditions. The book delves into the equine anatomy and physiology, neural processing, and behavioral implications of their wide field of view.

 
It progresses from the fundamental concepts of equine visual anatomy to the neural pathways involved in motion detection and spatial awareness. Through anatomical studies, electrophysiological recordings, and behavioral experiments, the book highlights the impact of domestication on visual behavior and the integration of visual and auditory information for threat assessment.

 
Ultimately, "Horse Wide Vision" demonstrates how understanding equine vision can lead to better horse management and training practices, creating safer and more enriching environments for these magnificent animals.

The Book Of Tea - How A Humble...

Okakura Kakuzo

"Tea began as a medicine and grew into a beverage... Teaism is a cult founded on the adoration of the beautiful among the sordid facts of everyday existence... It inculcates purity and harmony, the mystery of mutual charity, the romanticism of the social order. It is essentially a worship of the Imperfect."

In this short but enlightenimg book, Okakura Kakuzo reveals that tea is a doorway to the soul of the East and the essence of Japanese art and culture. He traces tea's journey from Chinese medicine to Japanese ceremony. The essence of the journey is in the tea masters, who influence everything from architecture and home decor to fashion and social norms. The Sukiya tearoom, or Abode of Fancy, is "an oasis in the dreary waste of existence", intentionally simple and asymmetical, for "true beauty could be discovered only by one who mentally completed the incomplete", .

Through the twin philosophies of Daoism and Zen, Okakura shows how tea infuses the art of living: how to arrange flowers as an offering, how to walk a garden path as a meditation, how to approach a masterpiece as one would "approach a great prince." "The truly beautiful must be always in it", whether in a single perfect flower plucked from a garden, a kettle that sings of distant seas, or a bowl that holds "the sweet reticence of Confucius, the piquancy of Laotse, and the ethereal aroma of Sakyamuni himself."

As Kakuzo says, "Let us have a sip of tea. The afternoon glow is brightening the bamboos, the fountains are bubbling with delight, the soughing of the pines is heard in our kettle. Let us dream of evanescence, and linger in the beautiful foolishness of things."

William Stanek's Yellowstone - A...

The Editors of Our American...

Yellowstone does not reward hurry. It rewards attention.

This guide is for travelers who want more than a checklist of famous sights. It reveals Yellowstone as a connected world of fire, water, wildlife, weather, distance, and human judgmentâ€"from Mammoth and Norris to Canyon Country, Old Faithful, Lamar Valley, Hayden Valley, and Yellowstone Lake.

Literary without losing usefulness, William Stanek's Yellowstone helps readers understand what they are seeing and why one district behaves differently from another. It brings together enduring geography, geology, wildlife intelligence, walking reality, lodge and basecamp strategy, photography as a way of seeing, quieter travel, and humane ways to shape one-, two-, and three-day visits.

This is not a disposable annual guide. It is a Yellowstone companion built around what lasts: place, proportion, attention, and memory.

For first-time visitors, return travelers, families, couples, solo explorers, walkers, and photographers who want Yellowstone to become more than a collection of stops.

See deeply. Travel well. Remember more.

My Garden Fish Pond - Owen Jones

Owen Jones

This manual will teach you how to choose a site for your garden fish pond; how to stock it, and how to maintain it, so that your fish lead happy lives. 
You may also use the articles in your own publication. 
I hope that you will find the contents helpful, useful and profitable. 
In this ultra stressful world, means of relaxation and a must. One of the best of these, if you have the space is a garden fish pond. An alternative could be a fish tank in the house.  
I have had both. I often found myself watching the fish in my tank rather than the television in the corner, but a fish pond is more realistic and makes a fantastic focus of attention. Outdoor fish are also more likely to breed, as they will be local. A garden fish pond also takes less maintenance than a tank. 
This manual will teach you how to choose a site for your pond; how to stock it, and how to maintain it so that your fish lead happy lives. 
The information in this ebook on various aspects of keeping fish is organised into 17 chapters of about 500-600 words each.
