A true partnership with your horse is built on a bond of trust created through understanding and mutual respect. The Better Deal is about helping you get there. Margaret Beeman, drawing on decades of experience working with horsemen and women in multiple disciplines, including national and international competitors, begins with the basics: the facts about the nature of the horse and the herd rules. She then demonstrates the things you need to learn about yourself: how to move your body, control your emotions, and understand the language you will use to communicate clearly with your horse. Finally she describes a comprehensive series of ground exercises which apply this new understanding and can be used to evaluate and address problems at all levels. The exercises are explained step by step and illustrated with photos. Margaret's methods are designed to help both the competitor who wants to get to the next level and the pleasure rider or driver who wants to have more fun and feel safer with their horse. Her approach is designed to help people who don't want to keep handing their horse to a trainer to be fixed, but want to understand how to develop their own horsemanship skills to work and progress independently. Developing a partnership based on respect and understanding not only brings greater satisfaction and pleasure to anyone working with horses, but also makes working with horses much safer. Feeling safer with your horse is a huge step to having more fun and greater success, whatever your discipline.

Mordantly funny and deeply moving, this award-winning novel about life in a West Bank settlement has been hailed as “brilliant” (The New York Times Book Review) and “The Great Israeli Novel [in which] Gavron stakes his claim to be Israel’s Jonathan Franzen” (Tablet). On a rocky hilltop stands Ma’aleh Hermesh C, a fledgling outpost of Jewish settlers in the West Bank. According to government records it doesn’t exist; according to the military it must be defended. On this contested land, Othniel Assis—under the wary gaze of the Palestinians in the neighboring village—lives on his farm with his ever-expanding family. As Othniel cheerfully manipulates government agencies, more settlers arrive, and a hodge-podge of shipping containers and mobile homes takes root. One steadfast resident is Gabi Kupper, a former kibbutz dweller who savors the delicate routines of life on the settlement. When Gabi’s prodigal brother, Roni, arrives penniless on his doorstep with a bizarre plan to sell the “artisanal” olive oil from the Palestinian village to Tel Aviv yuppies, Gabi worries his life won’t stay quiet for long. Then a nosy American journalist stumbles into Ma’aleh Hermesh C, and Gabi’s worst fears are confirmed. The settlement becomes the focus of an international diplomatic scandal, facing its greatest threat yet. This “indispensable novel” (The Wall Street Journal) skewers the complex, often absurd reality of life in Israel. Grappling with one of the most charged geo-political issues of our time, “Gavron’s story gains a foothold in our hearts and minds and stubbornly refuses to leave” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review).

Hill Top is a shrine to Beatrix Potter, each room imbued with her spirit. The house she bought with the royalties from her first and most famous book, The Tale of Peter Rabbit, became her cabinet of curiosities, a giant dolls house where she would arrange and re-arrange her things as she liked. Every painting, piece of furniture and antique had symbolic or emotional meaning to her. Featuring new photography, illustrations from the little books and photographs of Beatrix and her family, this new guidebook traces the fascinating story of this extraordinary woman. Peppered with quotes from Beatrix, it reveals her lonely London childhood, how she became a successful author and illustrator, and how she fell in love with the Lakes and acquired Hill Top. Readers will discover her lovely farmhouse and cottage garden and see how her surroundings inspired many scenes in her little books, and how, in later life, she reinvented herself as a farmer, landowner, conservationist and National Trust supporter. Today, it is thanks to her that the Lake District remains one of the most spectacular corners of England.
