“IN THE FOLLOWING PAGES the author deals with an exceedingly interesting subject in a most agreeable and instructive manner. His long experience with Arab horses in the East, in the West, on the ranch, in the park, and on Endurance Rides, fits him to speak with authority. I was one of the judges of the first Endurance Ride, conducted under rigid rules and active supervision, in this country, Mr. Harris rode an Arabian mare in this difficult contest, sixty miles per day, for five successive days, with two hundred pounds up, and brought her in in fine shape, to win first place. In addition to being a fine horseman and horsemaster, he is a renowned breeder of Arabian horses. “If one were in quest of accurate and complete information, historical or practical, about the Arab horse—data which would not glorify the Arab at the expense of fact, I should unhesitatingly refer him to the author. He owned the best Arab sire I have ever seen, whether in this country, Europe, or Asia. “He has a large stud farm of pure-bred Arabs. He also used his sires on mares of other breeding, or no breeding, with excellent results. “Whether one agrees with his conclusions or not, I know of no one better fitted to write of the merits and accomplishments of the Arab horse, without indulging in befogging breed-enthusiasm, than the author.”

Skeeter, the most charming and amazing Arabian horse, a trick horse in real life, dreams big. With her engaging personality she takes children on an imaginative quest, exploring her many other talents. Her message to children resonates in this book. "Never give up on your dreams!" Skeeter, an Arabian trick horse, gallops toward dreams and adventures. She envisions success in more exciting and certainly less-traditional career possibilities than her current role. "I am a trick horse and could do so much more," Skeeter laments. "As long as I have dreams, who knows how high I can soar?" And soar she does. Readers travel with the stunning white horse as she transforms into a theatrical actress with a bouquet of roses between her teeth, a painter who stands beside a canvas showcasing the beautiful vista that surrounds her, a funky-hat-wearing musician bedecked with a guitar around her neck, and more. Young readers will smile as they explore her antics. If a horse can be a mountain guide who spots and belays rock climbers, why can't they? Excerpt from Kirkus Reviews

The genealogical model has a long-standing history in Western thought. The contributors to this volume consider the ways in which assumptions about the genealogical model--in particular, ideas concerning sequence, essence, and transmission--structure other modes of practice and knowledge-making in domains well beyond what is normally labeled "kinship." The detailed ethnographic work and analysis included in this text explores how these assumptions have been built into our understandings of race, personhood, ethnicity, property relations, and the relationship between human beings and non-human species. The authors explore the influences of the genealogical model of kinship in wider social theory and examine anthropology's ability to provide a unique framework capable of bridging the "social" and "natural" sciences. In doing so, this volume brings fresh new perspectives to bear on contemporary theories concerning biotechnology and its effect upon social life.

Co-written with Arabian horse breeder Kellie Kolodziejczyk, Bachir Bserani supplies more than just a mere listing of Arabic words with meanings. He provides hand picked Arabic names that are easily pronounced by Roman language speakers. The Arabic names are written in both the masculine and feminine form with the English meaning, phonetic pronunciation and in Arabic calligraphy. This sets the book apart from standard Arabic dictionaries. The book is especially charming as the narrative and stories are written in the tradition of legendary Bedouin storytelling. Beginning with the origin of the Arabian horse breed, the philosophy behind the importance of giving authentic Arabic names, and the significance of the Arabian horse breed to the Bedouin tribes, the introduction draws the reader in and then carries them on a beautiful journey through the Arabian world of storytelling. It is filled with quotes and breathtaking, full-color photographs throughout.
