Horses Never Lie - Mark Rashid - Bog - Skyhorse Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Horses Never Lie - Mark Rashid - Bog - Skyhorse Publishing - Plusbog.dk

In Horses Never Lie , renowned horse trainer Mark Rashid challenges the conventional wisdom of “alpha leadership” and teaches the reader to become a “passive leader”—a counterpart to the kind of horse other members of a herd choose to associate with and to follow. Applying Rashid’s principles and techniques helps cultivate horse personalities that are responsive and dependable regardless of the rider. Reliving Rashid’s experiences with him, you will come to feel the same sort of compassion and appreciation for your horses that you do for the people in your life. This new edition features added introductory notes for each chapter that contribute to a more complete understanding of Rashid’s methods and philosophy.

A Child Alone with Strangers - Philip Fracassi - Bog - Skyhorse Publishing - Plusbog.dk

A Child Alone with Strangers - Philip Fracassi - Bog - Skyhorse Publishing - Plusbog.dk

“Fracassi’s novel hits me like a cross between McCammon and '80s King. Might be one of them summer blockbusters readers love.” — Laird Barron, author of Worse Angels " A Child Alone with Strangers starts out as a slow burn procedural with supernatural elements and inexorably cranks itself into a pulse-pounding symphony of eldritch horrors and all-too-human violence. Philip Fracassi is the best sort of horror writer--one who is unafraid to hunt for light in even the darkest places." — Shaun Hamill, author of A Cosmology of Monsters When young Henry Thorne is kidnapped and held prisoner in a remote farmhouse surrounded by miles of forest, he finds himself connecting with a strange force living in the woods—using that bond to wreak havoc against his captors. Unknown to the boy, however, is that this ancient being has its own reasons for wanting the interlopers gone—there is something hidden beneath the house, tucked away in the dark, damp root cellar . . . waiting for its return.

The Secret Coalition - Gary A. Donaldson - Bog - Skyhorse Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The Secret Coalition - Gary A. Donaldson - Bog - Skyhorse Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The politics of the 1950s revolved around two primary leaders, one Republican and one Democrat?both moderate, and both willing to compromise to move the nation forward. The Republican leader was President Dwight Eisenhower. His two administrations changed American politics. Ike’s desire to be president of all the people, to run his administration down the middle of the road, to be a ?modern” Republican, set the stage for what the Republican Party would be for decades to come. His politics of moderation triggered a backlash from the party’s right wing that eventually grew into a conservative surge that reached fruition in the following decades. Standing astride the opposition was the Democratic leader in the Senate, Lyndon Johnson. At age 44, Johnson was the youngest leader in Senate history. His willingness to join forces with Eisenhower in the president’s battles against isolationism and reaction in his own party, along with the willingness of both men to compromise rather than engage in a politics of search and destroy, turned the 1950s into an era of political moderation. In The Secret Coalition, Gary A. Donaldson insightfully explores a period in U.S. history that many Americans regard as an ?Era of Good Feeling”?when the two parties got along, and the nation achieved some sort of equilibrium and cooperation.

Divah - Susannah Appelbaum - Bog - Skyhorse Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Eloise meets Rosemary's Baby in New York City’s very own Carlyle hotel. Seventeen-year-old Itzy Nash is spending the summer at the exclusive Carlyle hotel in New York City. But the hotel harbors more than the rich and privileged; it is host to a gorgeous fallen angel, reclusive movie stars, and?Itzy soon learns?demons of the worst sort. When the Queen of the Damned checks in, all Hell breaks loose. Itzy is called upon to save herself?and all of humanity?from the ravages of the Underworld. There’s only one problem: Itzy’s possessed. Part gothic thriller, part historical fiction, the novel straddles the Upper East Side and the lush trappings of the Carlyle hotel, and Paris during the Reign of Terror in 1789. Marie Antoinette is the Queen of the Damned. Marilyn Monroe is an expert demon hunter. To kill a demon, Hermès scarves, Evian water, and a guillotine are the weapons of choice. For anyone who loved Daughter of Smoke and Bone, this has an epic battle between angels and demons with a doomed love story at its core. But it’s also darkly funny, for fans of Hold Me Closer, Necromancer, and more than anything it’s something original?dark, funny, clever, and glamorous.

"This fun, breezy guide positions the authors as both experts and the reader’s best friends, encouraging, advising, and cheering on." — Publisher's Weekly As a registered dietitian and a health industry expert, Ilyse Schapiro and Hallie Rich know people will cheat on their diets, dine out, consume alcohol, and have (hopefully plenty of) sex. They also know people have questions about it all. (Who doesn’t?) While many people may feel comfortable asking their best friend, they really want expert advice. That’s where this book will help. Rather than turn to social media, Chat GPT, or Google for answers to daily health questions, Schapiro and Rich reveal the secrets of the experts and the tricks of their respective trades. Based on their thirty years of combined experience in the health field, they provide realistic approaches to each topic without getting too technical. They are able to cover the multitude of questions that constantly top the list, including: Is intermittent fasting a good way to cut calories? Are smoothies good for snacks or meal replacements? Is it time to get on the gluten-free bandwagon? I have salads for lunch every day, and I’m still not losing weight. What am I doing wrong? I’m tired of feeling tired. What can I do to lose the urge to snooze? I eat well, so what’s the point of a multivitamin? They reveal the secrets of the experts and the tricks of their respective trades. With so much information and so many “rules” out there, this book gives readers the tools to sort through the BS and know what is truly important and actually relevant to their health.

Canceled Lives - Blake Bailey - Bog - Skyhorse Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Canceled Lives - Blake Bailey - Bog - Skyhorse Publishing - Plusbog.dk

A canceled bestselling author’s highly personal account of his public scandal—a scandal that was reported on the front page of the New York Times and throughout the world. Blake Bailey grew up in the shadow of his father, Burck, an eminent litigator—president of the Oklahoma Bar Association and widely considered a sort of real-life Atticus Finch: “His conduct, honesty, integrity, and courtesy best exemplify and represent the highest standards of the legal profession,” his colleagues commended him in a 1989 award citation. As for Blake, he was a late bloomer who finally came into his own as a writer. His fourth literary biography, Philip Roth , was published on April 6, 2021, and hailed as “a narrative masterwork” by Cynthia Ozick on the front page of the New York Times Book Review . The 900-page book debuted at #12 on the Times Nonfiction Bestseller list. But success came at a terrible price: because of revelations in Bailey’s biography, many were calling for Roth and his work to be “canceled,” while others thought Bailey had been overly sympathetic and even “complicitous” with his subject’s worst failings. Soon rumors exploded on the internet about Bailey’s own private life, and within days he himself was roundly canceled. Canceled Lives is the story of a father and son who had much in common—for better and for worse—and who supported each other in the midst of terrible family strife, including the drug addiction and suicide of Blake’s older brother, Scott. Having achieved a success in life that Blake, at least, never expected, both father and son were ravaged by the ordeal of Blake’s spectacular public humiliation.

After the Roof Caved In - Michael J. Dowling - Bog - Skyhorse Publishing - Plusbog.dk

After the Roof Caved In - Michael J. Dowling - Bog - Skyhorse Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The moving story of an Irish immigrant's life, from a poverty-stricken childhood in Ireland to becoming a captain of industry, After the Roof Caved In is a powerful, poignant look at how hard work and education enabled one young man to change his life and circumstances completely. Today, Michael J. Dowling is president and CEO of Northwell Health, New York state's largest healthcare provider and private employer, with over 68,000 employees and over 700 facilities. But he grew up in deep poverty in the village of Knockaderry in rural Ireland, in a small home without running water or a stable roof, in a family with little hope for improvement and a place with little opportunity—and he overcame it all to become wildly successful. After the Roof Caved In is Dowling's rags-to-riches story of his life and journey from his destitute youth to his realization of the power of education and his eventual departure from his home to attend university in Cork, and onward through his life as he gradually improved himself and his circumstances. Full of memories both fond and painful, this powerful memoir examines the family dynamics of his childhood—including the lives of his deaf mother and arthritic father—as well as the social systems of the time, the politics and concerns of the day, and the way a variety of disparate events came together to help Dowling change his life completely. Most importantly, it chronicles his lifelong effort to rise above the circumstances into which he was born and to create the sort of life he dreamed possible. For anyone interested in the stories of immigrants, the experiences of the Irish in the mid-20th century, or the value of hard work and education in changing one's life, After the Roof Caved In is an essential read, and a heartfelt, deeply moving meditation on an extraordinary life.

The Temple of Doubt - Anne Boles Levy - Bog - Skyhorse Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The Temple of Doubt - Anne Boles Levy - Bog - Skyhorse Publishing - Plusbog.dk

?Fiercely original with a capable and plucky heroine, The Temple of Doubt rips open a door to a fresh new fantasy world.” ?Amalie Howard, author of the Aquarathi series and Alpha GoddessIt’s been two six-days since a falling star crashed into the marshes beyond Port Sapphire, putting the wilds of Kuldor off-limits to fifteen-year-old Hadara. She feels this loss deeply and is eager to join her mother beyond the city limits to gather illegal herbs and throw off the yoke of her tedious religious schooling. Medicines of any sort are heresy to the people of Port Sapphire, who must rely on magic provided by the god Nihil for aid. And if people die from that magic, their own lack of faith is surely to blame. At least, that’s what Hadara has been taught?and has so far refused to believe. Hadara and her mother have ignored the priests’ many warnings about their herb gathering, secure in knowing their tropical island is far from Nihil’s critical gaze. Then two powerful high priests arrive from Nihil’s home city to investigate the fallen star, insisting it harbors an unseen demon. This sets off speculation that an evil force is already at work in Port Sapphire and brings one of the holy men to Hadara’s doorstep. When he chooses Hadara as a guide into the wilds, she sets off a chain of events that will upend everything she’s been taught about the sacred and the profane. The Temple of Doubt is the first installment in a series that follows a teenager who is given a greater destiny and purpose than she could’ve ever imagined. Sky Pony Press, with our Good Books, Racehorse and Arcade imprints, is proud to publish a broad range of books for young readers?picture books for small children, chapter books, books for middle grade readers, and novels for young adults. Our list includes bestsellers for children who love to play Minecraft; stories told with LEGO bricks; books that teach lessons about tolerance, patience, and the environment, and much more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.

Armstrong - H. W. Crocker - Bog - Skyhorse Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Armstrong - H. W. Crocker - Bog - Skyhorse Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The world has a new hero actually an old hero reimagined George Armstrong Custer, in this delightfully funny alternative history thats better, or at least happier, than the real thing. WINSTON GROOM, bestselling author of Forrest Gump and El Paso Droll satire, this is the West as it might have been if the Sioux hadnt saved us.STEPHEN COONTS, bestselling author of Flight of the Intruder and Libertys Last Stand A good, old-fashioned yarn....There is much to enjoy in Crockers book. AUSTIN RUSE, American Greatness If Custer died for our sins, Armstrong resurrects him for our delight. Not just the funniest book ever written about an Indian massacre, but laugh out loud funny, period. The best historical comic adventure since George MacDonald Frasers Flashman. PHILLIP JENNINGS, author of Nam-A-Rama and Goodbye Mexico Crocker has created a hilarious hero for the ages. Armstrong rides through the Old West setting right the wrongs, and setting wrong the rights, in a very funny cascade of satire, history, and even patriotism. ROB LONG, Emmy- and Golden Globes-nominated screenwriter and co-executive producer of Cheers Crocker's Custer, a milk-drinking, sharp-shooting master of disguises, takes us on a series of uproarious adventures in the persona of Armstrong.... Armstrong is an extraordinary hero a military strategist, a courageous fighter and some sort of dog whisperer to boot. He's also a dashing romantic with a knack for making women swoon....I'll look forward to finding out where duty calls Armstrong next. -- The Washington Examiner I've thoroughly enjoyed Harry Crocker's latest, a satirical alternative history about Michigan's own George Armstrong Custer, simply and cleverly entitled Armstrong. In Crocker's world, Custer survived a butchering by Crazy Horse at the Battle of Little Bighorn and has become a Victorian paladin and celebrity, doing everything over the top and then some more beyond the top. Crocker knows his history, so his anti-history is knock-down, pain in the stomach, hilarious...Even within the slap-stick outrageousness, there lurk and hover very meaningful and subtle points and comments. In other words, Crocker has produced a fictional masterpiece. - BRADLEY BIRZER, the Russell Amos Kirk Chair in History at Hillsdale College Action-packed and great for laughs... Fathers will love reading this book with their sons. Patriots will love it, too.... Prepare to delight in American history and heroism, unencumbered by trigger warnings. -- The American Thinker This is the kind of book young people should want to read, which will challenge them and widen their horizons. It is part history, part humor, part drama, and all-around entertainment. - JAMES ROBBINS, author of Erasing America: Losing Our Future by Destroying Our Past. A sly and funny revisionist take on an icon of the American West. - City Journal The conservative novel of the year... Armstrong is a rollicking work of alternate history that doesn't sacrifice accurate details or historical nuance for the sake of your entertainment.... Armstrong's Custer is a hero to love and admire. -- GRACE HOUGHTON, The Conservative Book Club H.W. Crocker has irresistible fun with George Armstrong Custer...a hilarious adventure. -- The American Spectator If you like learning history while laughing, youll like this book...marvelous satire. -- DAVID LIMBAUGH, #1 bestselling author of The True Jesus and The Great Destroyer: Barack Obamas War on the Republic What if Custer survived the Battle of the Little Bighorn? What if he became a gun-for-hire? And what if he made common cause with a troupe of cancan dancers, Chinese acrobats, an eyepatch-wearing rebel cardsharp, and a multilingual Crow scout? Eager to clear his name from the ignominy of his last stand - but forced to do so incognito, under the clever pseudonym Armstrong - Custer comes across evildoings in the mysterious Montana town of Bloody Gulch, which a ruthless Indian trader runs as his own personal fiefdom, with rumors of muder, slavery, and buried treasure. Armstrong is a rip-roaring tale of action, adventure, and hilarity as the ridiculously handsome, astonishingly brave, and highly susceptible milk-drinking cavalryman travels through the untamed West. The Custer of the West Series begins here and its a wild ride you wont want to miss.
