The Uspc Guide To Longeing And Ground Training (Howell Equestrian Library)

Book Description

Longeing and ground training are an important part of horsemanship, both in training the horse and in the education of the rider.

This book explains the principles of handling and training horses safely from the ground, including leading, teaching good ground manners, and preparation for longeing. It provides an introduction to longeing, equipment, techniques, and longeing for various purposes, including longeing to improve the horse's movement and longeing the rider. Because longeing is an activity that requires skill, knowledge, and safe techniques, The USPC Guide to Longeing and Ground Training is essential to understanding what you will need, what to do, and how long to do it safely for yourself and your horse.

This guide can be used by Pony Clubbers, instructors, and all horse owners who want to learn about longeing and how to use this technique safely to benefit their horses' training.

Perfect for all horse enthusiasts.......2000-07-22

This book is perfect for new and experienced horse people. It is filled with a great deal of real world instruction. I've read several intructional books and this had to be the easiest to follow.

Something for everyone.......2000-03-27

This book is a must reference for beginners through advanced horse people. It is clear and concise with enough detail to provide insights for the advanced person, yet it is not written in such a manner that the beginner feels overwhelmed. This book is definately worth the price.

Good for the purpose, i.e. for walking.......2007-03-08

This book tells you exactly what it says in the title. It is purely a walking guide, actually quite a good one. Includes maps and good descriptions of the routes and indicates in which seasons each route is available for walking.

Unfortunately, this book is not a general tourist guide at all.

Book Description

What do the following have in common: the promise of Botox as the key to everlasting youthful looks; E. coli O157 hamburger disease; a mysterious illness which killed 35 heroin users in 2000; and the assassination by poisoned umbrella-tip of a Bulgarian dissident in the 1970s? The answer is that all of these are caused by toxins, the powerful biological poisons released by bacteria and some plants. In Toxin, Alistair Lax reveals the panoply of ways in which bacterial toxins overcome the defences of our cells. He explains how they work, how they are so successful in causing major diseases, the terrible human impact they have had, and how apparently 'new' diseases arise from them. He also discusses how we can combat toxins, and how we can harness their actions for beneficial purposes. Enlivened by the very human story of the persistence, rivalries, and insights from which modern microbiology grew, Toxin is the first widely accessible account of this exciting and important topic.

Book Description

This book discusses recent numerical and algorithmic tools for the solution of certain flow problems arising in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), which are governed by the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. It contains several of the latest results for the numerical solution of (complex) flow problems on modern computer platforms. Particular emphasis is put on the solution process of the resulting high dimensional discrete systems of equations which is often neglected in other works. Together with the included CD ROM which contains the complete FEATFLOW 1.1 software and parts of the "Virtual Album of Fluid Motion", which is a "Movie Gallery" with lots of MPED videos, the interested reader is enabled to perform his own numerical simulations or he may find numerous suggestions for improving his own computational simulations.

One long poetic journal .......2006-06-04

Lawrence's poems have never been among my favorites. I think one reason is that they have been so flowing and evanescent, have not come to some critical point in great memorable lines. They are spontaneous outpourings and make a record of his inner life and struggle. And in this inner life he feels into nature and makes the things of this world, animals, trees, plants feel his feelings and respond as him to him. The strange sympathy which overflows in Lawrence makes him unique as a poet.
Joyce Carol Oates in a long instructive critical essay on Lawrence explains part of his poetic practice this way.
"Lawrence's poems are blunt, exasperating, imposing upon us his strangely hectic, strangely delicate music, in fragments, in tantalizing broken-off parts of a whole too vast to be envisioned--and then withdrawing again. They are meant to be spontaneous works, spontaneously experienced; they are not meant to give us the sense of grandeur or permanence that other poems attempt, the fallacious sense of immortality that is an extension of the poet's ego. Yet they achieve a kind of immortality precisely in this: that they transcend the temporal, the intellectual. They are ways of experiencing the ineffable "still point" that Eliot could approach only through abstract language.

"It is illuminating to read Lawrence's entire poetic work as a kind of journal, in which not only the finished poems themselves but variants and early drafts and uncollected poems constitute a strange unity--an autobiographical novel, perhaps--that begins with "The quick sparks . . ." and ends with "immortal bird." This massive work is more powerful, more emotionally combative, than even the greatest of his novels. Between first and last line there is literally everything: beauty, waste, "flocculent ash," the ego in a state of rapture and in a state of nausea, a diverse streaming of chaos and cunning."

Lawrence so restless so individual could not bear the constrictions of traditional poetic form, and he stretches the free verse technique of Whitman even further, bending its broken lines to the shape of his own soul.

I think Oates has its right, and Lawrence is not properly read by reading a poem here and there, but only by immersing oneself in the total flow of his work.

Again his soul and feeling and world are not mine but it is impossible not to feel the poetry interfused in almost all he writes.

The vital sap .......2005-11-04

Lawrence began with imitative Georgian verse filled with archaic turns and cliched tropes. But influenced by Whitman he turned to a kind of free verse, and so began his long life in creating a vital poetry. Lawrence's poetry is the expression of his most initimate feelings. The poems which are most renowed are those which express his relation to nature,"The Snake" perhaps being the most well- known of them. He also has however especially towards the end , poetry which simply argues and derides those who oppose him.
His poetry becomes so ' free ' at time that it would seem closer to 'prose poetry' than Poetry itself.
His poems are short, and have sudden turns which may spring the lines to life.
I find however a shortcoming in what I would call a lack of 'memorable lines'.

Great Collection!.......2005-08-26

The collection of poems is great. The book is very complete and organized in a easy to read format. I'm really glad I bought this book.

D.H........2003-09-15

I became acquainted with Lawrence's novels my sophomore year in college, and was hooked. A couple of years down the line, a professor recommended I take a look at his poetry, which he suggested was equally great, if not greater. He said he was like a British Whitman. Investigating the analogy, I came across this quote of Lawrence's: "Whitman, the great poet, has meant so much to me. Whitman, the one man breaking a way ahead. Whitman, the one pioneer. And only Whitman. No English pioneers, no French. No European pioneer-poets. In Europe the would-be pioneers are mere innovators. The same in America. Ahead of Whitman, nothing. Ahead of all poets, pioneering into the wilderness of unopened life, Whitman. Beyond him, none." Hyperbolic? Could be, and I'm admittedly a poor judge of poetry, much of it passing over my head, but there is more than enough in this hefty 1,000+ page paperback edition to convince me of Lawrence's greatness in verse. The book is split into "Rhyming poems," "Unrhyming poems," "Pansies," "Nettles," "Last poems" and "Uncollected poems." A couple of the shorter ones--
SUNSET
"There is a band of dull gold in the west, and say what you like
again and again some god of evening leans out of it
and shares being with me, silkily
all of twilight."
REVOLUTIONS AS SUCH!
"Curiously enough, actual revolutions are made by robots,
living people never make revolutions,
they can't, life means too much to them."
TALK OF FAITH
"And people who talk about faith
usually want to force somebody to agree with them,
as if there was safety in numbers, even for faith."
LUCIFER
"Angels are bright still, though the brightest fell.
But tell me, tell me, how do you know
that he lost any of his brightness in falling?
He only fell out of your ken, you orthodox angels,
you dull angels, tarnished with centuries of conventionality."

The most moving is "self pity"

I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself. --D. H. Lawrence

To this reader, poems and essays of DHL are his best works........1998-10-03

This book of poems shares the top spot in my bookcase with Whitman's "Leaves of Grass". They are accessible, highly perceptive, pertinent and intensely personal. My favorites are:

"FIDELITY" - "...The wonderful slow flow of the sapphire..."

"GOD IS BORN" - "...And so we see, God is not until he is born. And also we see there is no end to the birth of God."

"SHIP OF DEATH" (Appendix III version) - "...Pulling the long oars of a lifetime's courage, ...and eating the brave bread of a wholesome knowledge..."

"GRIEF" - "...How am I clotted together Out of this soft matrix... The air, the flowing sunshine and bright dust..."

"WEDLOCK" - "...How sure the future is within me. I am like a seed with a perfect flower enclosed..."

Finally, as a scientist I marvel at his intuitive grasp of relativity in "SPACE" and "RELATIVITY" - ..."As if the atom were an impulsive thing always changing its mind."

I would be delighted to share my enthusiasm with other readers.
