A Parent’s Guide to Riding Lessons

 Answers all the questions parents ask when a kid falls for horses  Packed with practical advice, quick tips, anecdotes, and information on all things horse-related

Elise Gaston Chand

E

very parent hopes to experience the thrill of seeing a child discover an activity she loves, and then watching as that interest unfolds into a lifelong passion. But when a child adores horses above all, these joys are often dampened by anxiety, especially when the parent knows little about riding. The questions can be overwhelming: How does one begin to find a qualified riding instructor? Just how expensive is this hobby? And — most important — will my child be safe? Parents searching for answers will find relief in A Parent’s Guide to Riding Lessons, by Elise Gaston Chand. A former horse-crazy child born to horse-clueless parents, Chand is today both an accomplished horsewoman and the mother of a horse-crazy daughter. Her vantage point allows her to get to the heart of parents’ concerns, then offer the information, instruction, and peace of mind that they desperately need. With its engaging “been there” voice, A Parent’s Guide to Riding Lessons combines the instant appeal of an impulse purchase with the practicality and depth of content of a thorough guide. Parents will snap up the book for its clear, reassuring voice, then refer back to it often for its quality answers and information.

A Parent’s Guide to Riding Lessons gives busy parents an overview of horseback riding and lesson progression.

very baker has pondered the wisdom of substituting one ingredient for another (“I don’t have any cake flour. Can I use allpurpose flour?”), using a square baking dish instead of the rectangular pan the recipe requires, or constructing a fancy dessert with frozen puff pastry rather than homemade. Baking recipes require precision and attention — exact measurements, correct ingredients, and a confident hand — to mix, cream, froth, and whip. But surely there is some leeway? And if there really is no room for error or substitution, then the curious baker wants to know why. Answering every question about common and specialty ingredients, finicky ovens, the best equipment for every recipe, the science behind the magic of baking, and the unique properties, quirks, and flavors of every kind of baked good, author Lauren Chattman reassures readers with

commonsense solutions, foolproof substitutions, and fun-to-know facts about the history and evolution of favorite baked goods. She even includes recipes that allow readers to practice new techniques and experiment with unfamiliar ingredients. Spelt Brownies, anyone? Portable, browseable, and easy to use, The Baking Answer Book earns a place beside the recipe collections in bakers’ libraries, explaining the techniques that don’t make sense and solving the mysteries of soggy zucchini bread and cracked cheesecakes.

T

here are more than 76 million birdwatchers in America — from casual backyard observers to seasoned birders. At some point, every bird-watcher has a question not answered in traditional field guides. How many feathers does a bird have? Do birds sleep while in flight? When such questions arise, birders turn to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, the world’s leading authority on birds and an information clearinghouse for bird-watchers of all levels. Now, the lab’s most often-asked questions about bird behavior are answered in a concise, friendly volume, The Bird Watching Answer Book, by the Cornell Lab’s science editor, Laura Erickson. This handy little reference answers reallife questions that have been sent to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology by birders of all levels from across North America. Erickson’s expert answers give readers the companionship of a

professional ornithologist as they observe their avian companions. The book’s tone is friendly and accessible, even as the answers demonstrate a tremendous depth and breadth of knowledge. Many questions help birders keep their feathered friends safe and healthy — from the baby bird found lying on the sidewalk, to the flocks whose migration patterns can be disrupted by human activity. Some questions address bird quirks and curiosities, while others get to the truth about common myths, such as whether throwing rice at weddings is harmful to birds or whether albatrosses can actually stay airborne for two years. For every question, Erickson provides an answer that is practical, engaging, entertaining, and astute.

The impulse to grow vegetables is even stronger in 2009 than it was in 2000, when Storey published The Vegetable Gardener’s Bible. The financial and environmental costs of fossil fuels raise urgent questions: How far should we be shipping food? What are the health costs of petroleum-based pesticides and herbicides? Do we have to rely on megafarms that use gasolinepowered machinery to grow and harvest crops? With every difficult question, more people think, “Maybe I should grow a few vegetables of my own.” This book will continue to answer all their vegetable gardening questions.

t’s time to rescue snacks from the realm of empty-calorie packaged junk food and transform everyday pick-me-ups into healthful, satisfying mini meals. Why waste calories on cookies or chips that have no nutritional value and provide only short-term satisfaction when raw foods are delicious, simple to prepare, and bursting with natural energy boosters that every body needs to stay fit and healthy? Thanks to Raw Energy, it has never been easier to add a full spectrum of raw ingredients to a healthful lifestyle. Author Stephanie Tourles’s 125 recipes for trail mixes, parfaits, energy bars, juice blends, smoothies, soups, vegetable chips, zippy dips, candies, and cookies combine raw ingredients in delicious snacks that are chock-full of nutrients and long-term energy boosters. Made from real, whole foods that are uncooked, unadulterated, and unprocessed, these snacks are 150- to 250-calorie packages of health and vitality, dense with naturally occurring vitamins, minerals, fiber, and enzymes. The snacks in Raw Energy do not rely on refined white flour or sugar, they are not cooked in any way, and, with the exception of honey, they do not use animal products.

They do include raw nuts and seeds, nut butters, dried and fresh fruits, oats, carob, cocoa, freshly extracted juices, and vegetables. They taste great and are easy to digest. Tourles provides a complete overview of the benefits of raw foods, along with an introduction to “uncooking” techniques and an ingredientby-ingredient food guide.

t’s an exciting new world for crafters. Handmade is hip, creativity is what the market wants, and there are many profitable sales opportunities that didn’t exist a few short years ago. For crafters who have more confidence running a sewing machine than setting up a Web site, The Handmade Marketplace breaks down and makes sense of the global possibilities for marketing and selling crafts. First, determine the right price for every item — not too expensive and definitely not too cheap. Whether the product is beaded jewelry or felted slippers, illustrations or tote bags, author Kari Chapin helps crafters determine cost of goods, market competition, and the pros and cons of wholesale and retail sales. If the price is right, customers will buy. Then it’s on to selling. The boom in indie craft fairs and sites such as Etsy (“Your place to buy & sell all things handmade”) is providing artisans with an ever-expanding marketplace for handcrafted items. Chapin demystifies every venue. She explains the guidelines that craft fairs impose on exhibitors, the typical yearly calendar of shows, and how to start a new craft fair.

For the crafter interested in online sales, there are tips on styling and propping crafts for photographs and technical explanations of how the most popular Web marketplaces run. Traditional brick and mortar consignment stores are still very good options for many crafters. Chapin explains how to approach shopkeepers and build strong relationships. Wrapping everything up with media advice and tips on how to get the word out, The Handmade Marketplace is the sales and marketing bible that today’s crafters need.

The Handmade Marketplace Kari Chapin has worked in marketing and publicity for a variety of arts and nonprofit organizations and managed a retail store featuring artisan goods. She lives in Massachusetts with her husband, two miniature dappled dachshunds, and one cranky orange cat.

any people want to raise cows, sheep, goats and other livestock, but they don’t have the space or the time to maintain a large animal farm. Miniature livestock are the answer. Every bit as useful and adorable as their bigger counterparts, mini livestock are a great option for folks wishing to add a little bit™ of farm life to their backyard or for farmers looking to diversify their livestock portfolios. Miniature livestock are so much more than their good looks. Pint-size animals can be exhibited in 4-H events and at state and county fairs, mini sheep can be raised for wool or meat, and little cattle can be milked or raised for beef, more productive per pound than their standard counterparts. Tiny horses, donkeys, cattle, and goats can be trained to pull wagons, and miniature animals work as therapy animals in schools, nursing homes, and hospitals. While owners have different reasons for raising miniature livestock, they all share a basic need for essential, expert instruction and advice. That need is met with Storey’s Guide to Raising Miniature Livestock by Sue Weaver. This is the go-toguide that takes the mystery out of minis. Breeding, feeding, housing, diet, nutrition, exercise, as well as disease prevention and treatment — new and experienced farmers will find everything they need to keep minis healthy and productive. fall 2009

Uniquely Felt Christine White

Suitable for all skill levels, Uniquely Felt is the essential resource on feltmaking — a complete primer on techniques with stepby-step instructions for 46 projects and profiles of professional feltmakers. Feltmaking — the transformation of a loose pile of wool fibers into a durable, nonwoven fabric — produces a flannel-like fabric with a tactile appeal. By adding a little soap and water to the wool, the feltmaker is able to press and shape the fibers together into wonderfully soft fiber arts.

Recycled wool sweaters are given new life in Crispina ffrench’s creative hands. Using simple sewing skills and a few basic stitching tools, crafters will learn Crispina’s techniques for felting, cutting up, and reassembling wool knitwear. It’s all about artfully mixing and matching colors, textures, and sweater parts to create pleasing new items. Stunning sweaters with mix-and-match pockets, hoods, and collars are the showstopping projects, while smaller pieces of wool are put to good use in potholders, scarves, and decorative chicks and flowers. Instructions for making personalized versions of Crispina’s trademark Ragamuffins are included. Paper: $18.95 US / $25.95 CAN

Humane Livestock Handling Temple Grandin with Mark Deesing

Well-treated animals, free from fear and pain, stay healthier, injure themselves less frequently, and tend to remain calm in most circumstances. Calm livestock in turn deliver higher yields of marketable meat. Temple Grandin, respected advocate for humane livestock treatment, describes low-stress methods for handling cattle and reducing their anxiety. Complete construction plans for chutes, corrals, and sorting pens put Grandin’s knowledge of animal behavior into daily use. Her livestock facility designs show every farmer how to process meat safely and humanely on efficient farms that answer today’s demand for natural, ethically raised meat.
