An Esquire Best Book of the Year, the ostrich is one of nature's misfits: A gigantic bird that can neither fly nor sing. But the fin-de-siecle fetish for feathers made ostrich plumes more precious than gold. Rob Nixon grew up near the South African desert where ostriches first boomed, and had an early passion for the outsize bird. Later, his rejection of apartheid led him to immigrate to the United States, where he encountered a new wave of ostrich mania: American ranchers were trying to convert the gawky bird into a low-cal cuisine.

This beautifully illustrated book, with more than 200 magnificent color photographs and 150 original paintings, maps, and diagrams, presents an up-to-date and comprehensive survey of the natural history of birds...

The fundamentals of riding are not contained in a simple list of steps, like the rules for using a computer or fixing a car. The basis of riding is the symbiosis of two living creatures, horse and human. Riding is too often taught as though the horse was a piece of machinery, with the result that riders, especially as they advance, have little understanding of the subtly different requirements for each riding style, or why the horse responds as it does. This is a visual guide for both the beginner and advanced rider that shows you how a horse without a rider moves naturally; you feel the horse... View more info
