Beautiful and hilarious, tearful and rambunctious, very real, ironic and magic-filled, Martín Prechtel's new book The Mare and the Mouse is a series of lyrical sagas in tribute to each of the native New Mexican horses that carried him through his youth on the Reservation and then again during the difficult times following his return home after over a decade in the Mayan Highlands of Guatemala. First in the Stories of My Horses Series, The Mare and the Mouse is meant to be read aloud to crowds around campfires, especially to people who are mistaken that only rich people or rednecks ride horses, Prechtel credits both his own physical and spiritual survival in "modernity's mad rush to nowhere" with the sanity of riding and living with his natural-born Southwestern horses. Not raised for show, performance, status, or money, these little horses allowed a way of living that took him flying over ravines into deep-mountain Holy places, backwards over streams, and in general keeping alive a sparkier, older spirit in an age where horses have been grossly de-natured and sadly removed from our own everyday lives after three millennia as the closest companions of our ancestors' dreams and mythologies.

The danger to Xanth was so great that only a night mare could offer hope! The Nextwave of barbarian warriors was invading Xanth from the north, ravaging and destroying as they advanced. But Mare Imbrium had her own problems. Ever since she had gained the half soul, the night mare had begun to mishandle her job of delivering bad dreams. Now the night Stallion dismissed her, exiling her to the day world with a message for King Trent: Beware the Horseman! She had no idea what that meant. But that was the way with prophetic warnings—nobody could understand them until it was too late. Then she met the Horseman. And she discovered that one who would right a night mare was a master of a bit and spur, and not a man to surrender her. For the night mare, it all began to be a horrible nightmare!

A finalist for the National Book Award and National Book Critics Circle Award, here is an evocative novel about female friendship in the glittering 1980s. One of the New York Times’s 100 Best Books of the 21st Century • One of The Atlantic’s Great American Novels of the Past 100 Years Alison and Veronica meet amid the nocturnal glamour of 1980s New York: One is a young model stumbling away from the wreck of her career, the other an eccentric middle-aged office temp. Over the next twenty years their friendship will encompass narcissism and tenderness, exploitation and self-sacrifice, love and mortality. Moving seamlessly from present and past, casting a fierce yet compassionate eye on two eras and their fixations, the result is a work of timeless depth and moral power.

* An extensively revised & expanded text & reference book for research scientists, veterinarians, teachers, students & others needing in-depth information on the biologic & applied aspects of mare reproduction. * Biologic mechanisms are treated in detail, but sections or chapters usually culminate in a summary or diagrammed conceptual overview that seems most consistent with current knowledge. * Comprehension is aided by illustrative material including photographs, photomicrographs, drawings & original conceptual diagrams. All chapters include a listing of highlights & in most instances, a chronological list of milestones. * The applied ramifications of the biology covered in each chapter or section are discussed. In addition, the book includes a 64-page chapter on reproductive efficiency (e.g. pregnancy loss, twinning). * Considerable effort has been devoted to developing a realistic perspective of mare reproductive biology. Little is taken for granted; the appropriate experimental work is discussed in the development of conclusions & in the consideration of currently controversial matters. Research needs & project suggestions are noted throughout, as well as the potential for utilization of the mare as a research model. 107 colored photographs in 20 plates, 103 black-&-white photographs or plates, 207 graphs & tables, 55 drawings & conceptual diagrams, 1,875 references in a single bibliography.
