Winner of the Malice Domestic Award for Best First Traditional Mystery Novel With a gutsy heroine, a lovable dog sidekick, quirky characters, and a charming locale, Kathryn O'Sullivan's Foal Play is a zany, fun-filled ride sure to please mystery readers. Colleen McCabe is enjoying an uneventful summer in North Carolina's Outer Banks supervising her firefighters, making rounds with her Border collie, Sparky, and keeping an eye on the wild horses escaped from the local sanctuary. But when a dead body washes up on shore, she knows trouble has arrived in Corolla. Colleen is ready to start work on the investigation, but much to her irritation, her best friend, Sheriff Bill Dorman, makes it clear he doesn't want her butting her nose in or poking around. The stubborn Colleen, however, is not so easily deterred. When a man with a gun is spotted lurking around the lighthouse and her former school teacher's house explodes, she adds arson and a second suspicious death to her informal investigation. Colleen soon finds herself juggling her job, amorous advances from the town's developer, and intrusions from the local press, all while keeping information from Bill. Her secret sleuthing quickly comes to an end, however, when a bigger threat enters the picture.

Children learn about life by playing, and so do lots of adorable animals. Following on from the hugely successful titles Animal Families, and Big Babies, Little Babies, Animal Playtime takes a playful peek at baby lions chewing on daddy's tail, polar-bear cubs using their mom's furry body as a climbing frame, and a young monkey trying to escape a parent's clutches to go off with his friends. For each appealing image, the text points out what's going on, why the play takes the form it does, or what the animal baby is learning from it. Animal Playtime uses simple language that children will understand. It's an ideal book for little ones to share with their parents, and for them to explore by themselves, encouraging their enjoyment of reading, and inspiring them to discover more about the irresistible creatures that scamper through its pages.

A comprehensive, richly illustrated introduction to the fascinating natural history of the horse, from prehistory to the present There are countless books about keeping and riding horses. The Horse is different: it looks not only at the natural history of the horse in the context of its use by humans, but also at its own, independent story, describing the way horses live, think, and behave both alongside people and on their own. Beautifully designed and illustrated, The Horse provides an engaging and accessible introduction to these beloved animals. Beginning with evolution and development, The Horse tells how horses came into being more than fifty million years ago and were first domesticated more than five thousand years ago, eventually spreading across the globe. Chapters on Anatomy & Biology and Society & Behavior explain equine anatomy and how it has affected the lives and social structure of horses, and outline current scientific thinking on their behavior as individual and herd animals, including information on communication between horses. A chapter on Horses & People provides a thorough overview of the horse’s many important roles in human history and today, from pack animal to sporting champion. Finally, the book ends with an engrossing and visually stunning photographic gallery of some fifty popular breeds of horses and ponies with essential information about each. Filled with surprising facts and insights, this book will delight anyone who loves horses and wants to understand them better. Provides a comprehensive, richly illustrated introduction to the evolution, development, domestication, and behavior of the horse—from life cycle, breeding, coats and colors, and the senses to courtship, parenting, communication, emotions, and learning Tells the full story of horses, from their earliest fossil ancestors to the modern-day Equus Offers a detailed survey of how horses and humans have interacted since horses were domesticated, including their use for work and war in the past and recreational and competitive riding today Features infographics, diagrams, and more than 250 stunning color photographs Includes a beautiful photographic directory to some 50 popular breeds

This book provides a comprehensive scientific overview of the behavior of horses as a basis for ensuring their well-being. It begins by discussing the evolutionary and neurological basis of their behavior, and concepts such as emotion and motivation. Chapter 3 considers maintenance behavior, that is, sleep and feeding, which relate to homeostasis in the individual. A chapter on reproduction then reviews male and female sexual behavior as well as fetal, parturient and maternal behavior. Chapter 5 examines behavior of the foal, play, general social behavior and interactions. There is then consideration of abnormal behaviors and how to control them, before the final chapter assesses horse welfare, particularly in the context of training and overall husbandry.

Written for students and all with a general interest in breeding horses, this book sets out to provide a basic understanding with sufficient practical information for beginners to get started. Enough reproductive physiology of the mare and stallion is included to clarify the management techniques which are explained later in the book, but unnecessary details are avoided. Artificial insemination and embryo transfer are also explained, as are selecting the broodmare and stallion, management at covering and during pregnancy, and post-partum care of the mare and foal.
