Book Description
If the horse has, since ancient times, been depicted as an heroic, valiant figure then Meier William's work demonstrates this. But, if Meier's work mirrors an equine temperament, then where there is valour there is also vulnerability. Since childhood the horse has been an obsession to Meier, inspiring a deep connection and providing a sense of peace. Horses and ponies provide her with a serious emotional fulfillment that subsequently manifests itself in an intensive energised creative period. Meier is delighted to publish this, her first book. Its pages reveal Meier's ongoing work with the ponies on Dartmoor, and capture the process of documentary and artistic work she has developed during the past three years.

21st-Century Yokel
Author: Tom Cox
Publisher: Unbound Publishing
ISBN: 178352457X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 319
Book Description
'Glorious – funny and wry and wise, and utterly its own lawmaker' Robert Macfarlane 'A rich, strange, oddly glorious brew' Guardian Longlisted for the Wainwright Golden Beer Book Prize 2018 21st-Century Yokel is not quite nature writing, not quite a family memoir, not quite a book about walking, not quite a collection of humorous essays, but a bit of all five. Thick with owls and badgers, oak trees and wood piles, scarecrows and ghosts, and Tom Cox's loud and excitable dad, this book is full of the folklore of several counties – the ancient kind and the everyday variety – as well as wild places, mystical spots and curious objects. Emerging from this focus on the detail are themes that are broader and bigger and more important than ever. Tom's writing treads a new path, one that has a lot in common with a rambling country walk; it's bewitched by fresh air and big skies, intrepid in minor ways, haunted by weather and old stories and the spooky edges of the outdoors, restless and prone to a few detours, but it always reaches its destination in the end.
