 | Those Who Can... Teach by Lorraine Glennon, Mary Mohler
Many successful people can point to a single teacher whose talent and dedication made a crucial difference in their lives. Sometimes former students clearly recall a teacher's casually brilliant remark that produced an instant aha! response; sometimes they are affected by a teacher's passionate devotion to professional duty. The methods of a great teacher are as varied and distinctive as teachers themselves, but the result -- inspired teaching -- is a gift enjoyed for a lifetime. Those Who Can, Teach! brings together personal reminiscences about gibed educators from a wide array of contributors, including writers, entertainers, business leaders, religious figures, politicians -- and of course, teachers themselves. Some are humorous, others irreverent, others sweet, still others passionately polemical. A great many are based on interviews conducted by the editors, but there are also many excerpts culled from literature, personal letters, and film. AUTHOR: Lorraine Glennon, Mary Mohler

 | Dressage Tips & Training Solutions by Martin Plewa, Petra Holzel, Wolfgang Holzel
Unlike most dressage books, the advice in DRESSAGE TIPS AND TRAINING SOLUTIONS is presented in a highly accessible way: a question-and-answer format that identifies problems and offers solutions to training difficulties. The book covers the main elements of the horse's education, from early schooling on the longe through to Grand Prix movements; throughout, it stresses the need for sympathetic handling of the horse at all times. It also includes a chapter on jumping, with gymnastic grid exercises to complement work on the flat. The German training principles, including the establishment of solid basics--such as looseness, submission, responsiveness to the aids, and impulsion--are continually emphasized, offering insight into why and how the German system produces so many of the world's top horses.
