TheHORSE

Horses are among the most exquisite animals on Earth, and this beautifully illustrated book celebrates their unique qualities in over 100 striking images. Their grace, spirit,

and presence leap out from each eye-catching image to reveal stunning details of movement and equine behavior.

Horses are far more than just beautiful creatures, however, and this book explores their special relationship with humans by describing the unique characteristics of all

horses and the specific features that typify distinct breeds.

Learn how herd life and relationships shape the way in which a horse understands the world

Explore the sensitive spirit of horses and how it has been woven into myths and legends across the ages

Find out how the physiology and anatomy of the horse combine to create a free-running animal that can also bear a rider on its back

Learn how complex and fascinating the world of horse colors and markings can be

Follow the life of a young horse from birth to adulthood

Illustrated throughout with stunning photographs showing a variety of horses and ponies from around the world, this is a book for horse-lovers of all ages.

Elaine Walker is a freelance writer based in North Wales in the United Kingdom. She writes non-fiction, fiction, and poetry and is

a consultant on the horse in cultural history. She also lectures in literature and creative writing. Her books on horses include Horse (2008), To Amaze the People with Pleasure and DelightThe Horsemanship Manuals of William Cavendish, first Duke

of Newcastle (2010), and a novel, The Horses (2010). She has ridden since her fifth birthday and became a convert to Western riding and Appaloosa horses while holidaying in Scotland in 1990. She has ridden Western-trained spotty horses ever since. For more about her work see elaine-walker.com.

The special relationship that exists between people and horses has spanned many thousands of years. An inspiration for artists, writers, and travelers of every culture, the horse has shaped human development and thinking more than any other animal. Horses have long been ridden to war, even though their nature is to run from danger. They have pulled plows and hauled carts, even though they are naturally restful creatures. And while, instinctively, they want to flee from predators, they

willingly engage with humans who once hunted them for food. Horses have been trained to conquer their natural caution to become our willing work partners, companions, and much loved members of the family.

Just what is it about this particular animal that leads to such a unique relationship? This book explores the nature of the horse to get to the heart of that question. The instincts of the herd, their flight response

when faced with a threat, the physical characteristics and sensitive intelligence of the horse all offer insights into its capacity for forging a unique bond with humans. Illustrated throughout with superb full-color photographs, this book reveals the exceptional nature and unrivalled spirit of the horse.

HORSEThe

Passion Beauty Splendour Strength

With holes to peek through and shapes to peep over, join this cat and dog in their playful, peek-a-boo romp

through the pages.

For a long, long time, everyone has known that dogs and cats just dont get along.

This little cat knows this very well. So she runs. And this little dog chases her.

Through a fairy tale where Cat gets Goldilocks in trouble for eating a little bears porridge.

Through a storybook where Cat leads Dog round and round and down and down a beanstalk...

But what will happen when Dog finally catches up?

1. Line three baking sheets with baking paper and set aside.

2. Follow the basic recipe (see page 6) to make the cookie dough. Gather it into a ball with your hands, wrap it in clingfilm and chill in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes.

3. Place the dough between two sheets of baking paper. Roll out to a thickness of about 8 mm/3/8 inch. Press out 12 cookies using an 8 cm/31/4 inch round cutter, re-rolling the dough as necessary.

4. Transfer the cookies to the prepared baking sheets, leaving room for the lollipop sticks. Dip one end of a lollipop stick in water and then carefully insert it into the centre of the bottom of a cookie round, pushing it about halfway into the cookie. Repeat with the remaining lollipop sticks and cookies. Chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas Mark 4.

5. Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 1518 minutes or until golden. Remove from the oven and cool the cookies on the baking sheets for a few minutes, then transfer them to wire racks and leave to cool completely.

How to make itPut the spinach, lambs lettuce and chard leaves in a salad bowl. Scatter on the grapefruit and orange segments. Squeeze the juice from the trimmings into a screw-top jar and reserve.

Preheat the grill to hot and line the grill pan with foil. Arrange the sea bass flesh side-up on the foil, sprinkle with the lime rind and juice and season. Turn the fish over, season the skin side and drizzle with olive oil. Grill for 6-8 minutes, until the skin is browned and the fish flakes when pressed with a knife.

For the dressing, add the oil and honey to the fruit juice in the jar, season, screw on the lid and shake well. Pour over the salad and toss gently, then divide between four plates.

Break each fish fillet into bite-size pieces, then arrange them on top of the salads. Sprinkle with the coriander, spoon over any juices from the grill pan, then serve.

ain-boosting beetroot

The high levels of nitrates may help slow down the progression of dementia. When the pigment

betacyanin, which gives beetroot its colour, combines with carotenoids and flavonoids, it may help reduce the oxidation of LDL cholesterol,

so protecting artery walls and reducing the risk of heart disease

and stroke.

Create youraladPut the couscous in a saucepan of boiling water, bring back to the boil and simmer for 68 minutes, until just tender. Drain into a colander, rinse, drain again, then transfer to a salad bowl.

Add the beetroot, red onion, cherry tomatoes and pomegranate seeds and toss.

For the dressing, put the lemon juice, flaxseed oil and olive oil in a screw-top jar. Add the tomato pure, then season, screw on the lid and shake well. Pour over the salad, then sprinkle on the mint and toss gently.

For the griddled chicken, put the lemon juice, olive oil, tomato pure and crushed peppercorns in a clean plastic bag, twist and shake well. Add the chicken slices, seal well, then shake until the chicken is evenly coated in the mixture.

Preheat a griddle pan or grill to hot. Cook the chicken, in batches if necessary, for 10 minutes, turning once or twice, until browned and cooked through. Arrange over the top of the salad and serve.

Sugars, syrups and honey Caster sugar is ideal for baking as its ne grains dissolve easily, making it ideal to cream smoothly with softened butter or margarine.

Other sugars, such as soft light and dark brown sugars, have more depth of avour than white sugars and add richness and colour to your cupcakes. If possible, choose unre ned or muscovado brown sugars which have an excellent avour.

Demerara sugar has large golden crystals, which add crunch and texture when sprinkled over the tops of cupcakes before baking.

Icing sugar has a ne powdery texture that dissolves easily, making it perfect for buttercream, royal and glac icings and frostings.

Golden syrup, maple syrup and honey are all useful sweet syrups to keep in the storecupboard. They can be used in place of sugar in some cupcake recipes or for frostings and glazes.

Eggs For the best baking results, always use fresh eggs at room temperature. If eggs are too cold, they will curdle the creamed butter and sugar mixture. Be sure to use the correct egg size for the recipe the recipe or cookbook should give guidance on the size of eggs required.

Flour Cupcake recipes either use self-raising our or a combination of plain our and baking powder or bicarbonate of soda. Always check that self-raising our has not passed its best before date, as the raising agent will be less effective. To make your own self-raising our, add 2 level teaspoons of baking powder to each 225 g/8 oz of plain white our.

To incorporate as much air and lightness into the cupcake batter as possible, sift the our before using. If using wholemeal our, remember to tip any bran left in the sieve into the mixing bowl, as this is the most nutritious and avoursome part.

Raising agents Both baking powder and bicarbonate of soda are used as raising agents to produce light and airy cupcakes. Baking powder is a mixture of cream of tartar and bicarbonate of soda.

Only buy these raising agents in small quantities and check the best before date before using as they have a limited shelf-life.

Flavouring extracts Vanilla and almond extracts, when used sparingly, can add a wealth of avour to a simple cupcake batter and other natural extracts, such as lemon, orange and peppermint, are also available. Be sure to buy natural extracts, not synthetic avourings (essences).

For delicately scented cupcakes, invest in a small bottle of rosewater and orange ower water.

Cocoa powder Cocoa powder is a ne, reddy-brown powder that has a bitter but intense chocolate avour. Unsweetened cocoa powder is widely used as a avouring in cupcakes, other cakes, bakes and desserts. It can also be lightly sifted over baked cupcakes as a decoration.

Greasing and lining cupcake tins

Always follow the recipe instructions about preparing tins. With most cupcake recipes, you will line the bun/muf n tins with paper cupcake

cases, so there is no need to grease the tins before use.

If, however, you are not using paper cupcake cases (perhaps you would like smooth-sided cupcakes instead of pleated ones, for a change), grease bun/muf n tins with melted or softened butter (preferably unsalted) or a avourless vegetable oil. Spray vegetable oils are also useful for greasing tins. Alternatively, a bun/muf n tin can be greased and oured before use.

Using a piece of kitchen paper, you can wipe a thin lm of sun ower or vegetable oil over the top of the bun/muf n tin, before lining the holes with paper cases, if you like. If the cupcakes then rise above their cases during baking, the greased surface will help to prevent the tops of the cupcakes sticking to the tin.

Kadhi is a traditional Gujarati preparation of a wonderful sweet and spicy curd mixture thickened with gram fl our.

This authentic Gujarati-style spiced yogurt soup is slightly thinner in texture than the Punjabi version of the same

dish. They both have a balance of sweet, sour and spice fl avours.

ATLAS OF MILITARY HISTORY

DR AARON RALBY

Atlas of Military History provides a fascinating, in-depth look at the world of warfare and reveals how the face of war has changed dramatically over the millennia with the emergence of new technology and tactical innovations that so often prove decisive in conicts. It charts the appearance of such innovations throughout the ages: from the humble bow and arrow to warhorses and chariots; from gunpowder and rearms to tanks and heavy artillery; through to the modern world of submarines, ghter jets, drones and devastating weapons of mass destruction, culminating in the ultimate deterrent the nuclear bomb.

However, Atlas of Military History is not just a story of ever more devastating weaponry. It is also the story of human psychology and religious faith or fervour, of politics and diplomacy, of human savagery and civilization. This magnicent book takes the reader on a journey through time and tells the dramatic stories of the rise and fall of some of the greatest empires the world has ever seen, along with the military leaders who built them. The names of many such warriors echo through time: Alexander the Great, the legendary ruler of Macedonia; Augustus Caesar, founder of the mighty Roman Empire; and Attila, the ruthless leader of the vast Hunnic Empire.

Although the nature of war has changed, the reasons for war remain constant. Wars are still waged in competition over territory and resources; out of hatred, intolerance or the desire for vengeance; or because of the simple greed for glory of individual rulers who, by the very force of their character, rally vast armies to ght for their cause however just or unjust. The political structure of the world today has been shaped by battles fought long ago in far-ung corners of the earth. Understanding the wars of the past gives insight into the wars being waged today and those likely to be fought in the future.

With authoritative text supported by hundreds of fascinating photographs and maps, Atlas of Military History takes the reader on an extraordinary journey from

prehistoric conicts employing rudimentary stone weapons to todays hi-tech War on Terror with its dependence on elite forces, drones and computer-guided

missiles. It tells the remarkable stories of the great leaders both men and women who rallied vast armies into battle, whether it be Queen Boudicca inciting the

Britons to rise up against Roman repression, or Alexander the Great conquering neighbouring lands to extend his formidable empire.

Atlas of Military History charts the causes and calamities of two World Wars and explores their legacies including the Cold War and the emergence of the United States as a lone superpower and brings the reader right up to date with recent terrorist attacks against the United States and its allies, as well as the dawn of

the Arab Spring in the Middle East.
