Summary

In 'On Horse-Breaking,' Robert Moreton presents a comprehensive manual that delves into the art and science of training horses. This seminal work not only outlines practical techniques but also emphasizes the psychological understanding necessary for effective horse management. Moreton's literary style is characterized by its clarity and precision, making complex concepts accessible to both novice and experienced equestrians. Set against the backdrop of an evolving agricultural landscape in the early 19th century, the text mirrors contemporary debates about animal welfare and training ethics, positioning itself as a crucial contribution to the field of equestrian literature. Robert Moreton was a prominent figure in equestrian circles, known for his hands-on experience in horse training and a deep-rooted passion for animal behavior. His background, enriched by years spent with skilled trainers, equipped him with unique insights into the symbiotic relationship between horse and handler. Moreton's commitment to improving training practices reflects a broader movement toward more humane and effective methods during a time when equestrian standards were rapidly changing. 'On Horse-Breaking' is a must-read for anyone interested in horses, whether they are trainers, riders, or enthusiasts. Moreton's eloquent discourse not only serves as a technical guide but also invites readers to ponder the deeper connections between humans and these magnificent creatures. This book will enrich the understanding of horse training and inspire a more compassionate approach to the craft.

Books about the mechanics of golf are many, but few have been written about the mental aspect of the game. In Golf Is Not a Game of Perfect (1995), sports psychologist Dr. Bob Rotella explores the importance of adopting the right mindset in golf. Some players work hard on perfecting their mechanics, but eventually get stuck and stop improving. Rotella explains that mechanics should never be the main focus, whether you are practicing or competing. Confidence is key, and it beats mechanics any day.

    From the award-winning, New York Times best-selling author of Cod and Salt, To Catch a Fish is an entertaining and beautifully written illustrated collection of essays that explore a lifetime fascination with fishing.    For as long as there have been humans, there have been humans trying to catch fish. The two species—fish and man—live in constant tension. One chases the other. One tries to get away. Some of us—author Mark Kurlansky included—are hard-wired for that chase. Guiding readers through the waters and into the mind of the fish, Kurlansky considers who fish are and why they behave the way they do, and along the way delves into the many approaches to catching a fish, their ecology, and the ins and outs of cooking and eating your catch.      Whether you’re a seasoned angler or a novice, or simply want to explore the world of fish, the forty short essays in this collection and the dazzling illustrations by Bri Dostie, shed new light on these creatures and our relationship to them.

    River Songs is rich with bracing, authentic, generous stories—writing that revels in language and spirit. Avoiding most of fly fishing's clichés—the romantic elegies, the Moby-Dick-like conquests, the play-by-play detailing a "victory" over a fish—Steve Duda instead offers pieces that breathe lived experience, reveal vulnerabilities, and convey a broad perspective of what it means to have "a long run with a tight crew." Duda is interested in what has been learned out there on the river: what is it about this "ridiculous activity" that connects us to this planet, makes us human, gives us hope? 
 
 
 
River Songs focuses on the in-between moments and the unexpected revelations—awe, fear, frustration, doubt, joy—that are as much a part of fishing as tying knots and chucking flies. Listeners ride along with Duda in battered pickup trucks, fish "between jobs," look longingly at unfished famous rivers while touring with a country-punk band, and wonder how a fishing trip led to getting a tooth pulled while being surrounded by trash-talking friends. They will find beauty, discovery, heartbreak, good dogs, and the wonder of nature within the expanse of Northwest landscapes and beyond.

The Long Golden Afternoon tells the story of the transformative generation of golf that followed the rise of Young Tom Morris - an era of sweeping change that saw Scotland's national pastime become one of the rare games played around the world.
It begins with the first epochal performance after Tommy - John Ball's victory at Prestwick in 1890 as the first Englishman and the first amateur to win the Open Championship - and continues through the outbreak of the Great War. If Tommy ignited the flame of golf in England, Ball's breakthrough turned that smoldering fire into a conflagration.
The generation that followed would witness the game's coming of age. It would see an explosion in golf's popularity, the invention of revolutionary new balls and clubs, the emergence of professional tours, the organization of the game and its rules, a renaissance in writing and thinking about golf, and the decision that the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews must always remain the sport's guiding light.
'A beautifully crafted examination of a period in the history of golf that will never again be witnessed. It is not to be missed' - Jim Davis, The Golf
