- Think like a horse : lessons in life, leadership, and empathy from an unconventional cowboy / by Golliher, Grant,author.; Daly, Ellen,author.;
"Grant Golliher is what some would call a "horse whisperer," able to get a wild horse to calmly accept a saddle and a rider without the use of force. Through training thousands of horses, many traumatized or abused, Golliher was able to learn essential lessons about communication, boundaries, fairness, trust, and respect--lessons that apply not just to horses but to humans as well. It's why celebrities, Fortune 500 ex-ecutives, professional coaches, supreme court justices, and even ordinary families from around the world flock to his Wyoming ranch every year to take part in what one CEO called "the most transformational experience I have ever encountered." Horse whispering may sound like magic, but as Grant explains in Think Like a Horse, it's not really all that mysterious. The lessons he shares are as fundamental and ageless as the relationship between horses, the people who ride them, and the beauty of the West. In fact, it's an approach that anyone can learn, and should learn, in order to better understand our common humanity, overcome trauma, foster more fulfilled relationships, and unlock untapped potential in virtually every aspect of our lives. All you have to do is think like a horse." --- Subjects: Self-help publications.; Autobiographies.; Biographies.; Golliher, Grant.; Cowboys; Horses; Empathy.; Leadership.; Self-actualization (Psychology); Human-animal relationships.; Nurturing behavior.;

- Ghost music : a novel / by Yu, An,1992-author.(CARDINAL)831893;
"From the author of the "original and electric" Braised Pork (Time), An Yu's enchanting and contemplative novel of music and mushrooms follows a former concert pianist searching for the truth about a vanished musician. For three years, Song Yan has filled the emptiness of her Beijing apartment with the tentative notes of her young piano students. She gave up on her own career as a concert pianist many years ago, but her husband Bowen, an executive at a car company, has long rebuffed her pleas to have a child. He resists even when his mother arrives from the southwestern Chinese region of Yunnan and begins her own campaign for a grandchild. As tension in the household rises, it becomes harder for Song Yan to keep her usual placid demeanor, especially since she is troubled by dreams of a doorless room she can't escape, populated only by a strange orange mushroom. When a parcel of mushrooms native to her mother-in-law's province is delivered seemingly by mistake, Song Yan sees an opportunity to bond with her, and as the packages continue to arrive every week, the women stir-fry and grill the mushrooms, adding them to soups and noodles. When a letter arrives in the mail from the sender of the mushrooms, Song Yan's world begins to tilt further into the surreal. Summoned to an uncanny, seemingly ageless house hidden in a hutong that sits in the middle of the congested city, she finds Bai Yu, a once world-famous pianist who disappeared ten years ago. A gorgeous and atmospheric novel of art and expression, grief and survival, memory and self-discovery, Ghost Music animates contemporary Beijing through the eyes of a lonely yet hopeful young woman and gives vivid color and texture to the promise of new beginnings." --- Subjects: Novels.; Missing persons; Women pianists; Mushrooms; Musicians;

But the evil sorceress, Maleficent, shows up and places a curse on the princess - where Aurora will die on her 16th birthday after touching a poisoned spinning wheel.

The fairies take Aurora to their cottage and raise her as their own child. On her 16th birthday, Aurora meets Prince Phillip and the two fall in love. Maleficent kidnaps the Prince and she tricks Aurora into touching a spinning wheel. Realizing that the Prince is in trouble, the good fairies head to Maleficent's castle to free him. But the Prince soon finds himself up against Maleficent when she turns herself into a fire-breathing dragon. Now the Prince has to be strong enough to withstand the powers of the evil Maleficent.MPAA rating: G.DVD, region 1, NTSC, widescreen (2.55:1) presentation; Dolby Digital 5.1 surround.- Subjects: Feature films.; Animated films.; Fantasy films.; Action and adventure films.; Children's films.; Video recordings for the hearing impaired.; Perrault, Charles, 1628-1703; Sleeping Beauty (Tale); Princesses; Fairy plays.; Spinning-wheel; Sleep;

"This collection of stories chronicling Sylvia Jorrín's life on the farm provides comfort and inspiration to all those searching for meaning in life's many blessings. The world of Sylvia's Farm is a rich landscape of natural beauty and simple pleasures. Sylvia Jorrín never expected to become the first woman in the New York City Watershed to solely own and operate a large livestock farm. But first the farm, and then farm life, captured her heart as it has captured the hearts of all those who have read her book. Through unexpected surprises and unanticipated hardships, Sylvia Jorrín has grown into the epitome of the one thing she never expected to be: a farmer. With a devoted following of readers inspired by her underlying appreciation of the world around her, Sylvia's Farm is the sort of ageless story that any reader can pick up and enjoy. Sylvia's Farm is, to quote Kirkus Reviews, "The delight-filled education of an out-of-the-clue shepherdess ..." consisting of " ... fine-grained, honest rural sketches, on a par with Noel Perrin and Don Mitchell." Sylvia's Farm is a contemporary account of rural farm life and all of the sometimes beautiful, always meaningful lessons that it continues to teach. Told in short vignettes that span over more than a decade, it is a journal of growth, persistence, and the unexpected joys that a new day can bring"--June Grass Rose -- Pastel Country -- Racing for the Gold -- Dandelion Green -- Shearing Past, Shearing Present/Of Course, You Sell the Wool -- The First Day of Summer -- Cows -- My Grandfather, My Grandson, and I -- The Maple Leaf -- A Story of Three Barns -- Two Stories in One : My Mother's Kitchen, Christmas 1993 -- January 14, 1994 -- Tomato Soup -- Epiphanies and Other Moments -- Samantha -- On Rabbits and Death -- To Milk the Cow -- Watch and You Will Know -- Rose -- Rugosa Roses -- Down There -- Days of Grace -- The Story of the Barn -- Fiona MacDonald -- Gratitude -- Barred Rocks -- Helping Hands -- Shades of Peach and Coral -- The Gooseberry Bushes -- Compromise -- A Pack of Coyotes -- Mangel-Würzels, Rouge Vif d'Etampes Pumpkins, and Leeks -- Pigs and Cows This Is a Day -- Busman's Holiday -- An American Soup -- The New Stove -- One Farmer's Day -- The Carriage House Farm -- Two Women in the Kitchen -- The Ugly Chicken -- Miracles Great and Small -- Summer on the Farm -- To Patricia, from East Lyme -- The Color White -- My Hired Man The Awful Day -- The Pearl Necklace Animal Stories The Gift February Days, February Nights -- The Silent Rhythm of the Days -- A Remarkable Woman -- The Hawk -- Punctuation Marks -- Lady Agatha Van der Horn -- The Simple Life -- The Sweet Time -- Abundance -- The Lord's Great Profets -- The Half Day Off.- Subjects: Autobiographies.; Jorrín, Sylvia.; Women shepherds; Shepherds; Women farmers; Farm life;
