    Journey to the ancient past with cutting-edge science and new data to discover how horses forever altered the course of human history. 
     
       
      
    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. Tracing the horse's origins and spread from the western Eurasian steppes to the invention of horse-drawn transportation and the explosive shift to mounted riding, Taylor offers a revolutionary new account of how horses altered the course of human history. 
     
      
      
    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.

    Arches is a landscape built around openingsâ€"and around the forces that will eventually erase them.
    
    This guide moves beyond the familiar icons to reveal a park of fins, fractures, windows, towers, desert light, exposed walks, hidden rooms, and distance. From the park's first great walls to the Windows, Delicate Arch country, Devils Garden, and quieter passages between them, William Stanek's Arches explains not only what deserves attention, but what each part of the park asks from the traveler.
    
    Geology becomes field intelligence. Light becomes timing. Distance becomes judgment. A famous formation becomes more meaningful when the reader understands the stone around it.
    
    Literary, practical, and built for repeated use, this is an Arches guide for travelers who care about atmosphere as much as mileage, patience as much as accomplishment, and memory as much as the photograph.
    
    For first visits, return journeys, desert walkers, families, couples, solo travelers, and photographers.

    This memoir of buying and transforming an abandoned olive farm “describes life in the South of France with lush, voluptuous appreciation” (Publishers Weekly). Presented with an opportunity to purchase a ten-acre property near Cannes, actress Carol Drinkwater and her film-producer fiancé, Michel, decide to take the plunge. It will take all their savings just for the down payment, but the beauty of the surrounding countryside and the promise of a new adventure seem worth the risk. As they work to clear the weeds and rehabilitate the abandoned farm, they meet Provence’s quirky locals, puzzle through France’s legal bureaucracy, explore the nearby Mediterranean islands, and encounter the region’s wildlife. This colorful memoir from the Sunday Times–bestselling author recounts one couple’s remarkable journey from being inspired but inexperienced new landowners to realizing their dream of a fulfilling, peaceful life on their own little plot of paradise. “Good-humored and well-written.” —The Washington Post “A fantasy come true, as it will be for many of the readers who yearn to experience the magic of southern France.” —The Austin Chronicle
