communicating with them, or simply appreciating their beauty, he has been enthralled by horses ever since he was a child. And for decades, he has sought to bring that joy to others -- children, veterans, and those with disabilities, among others -- through his annual Hollywood Charity Horse Show. In this book, Shatner speaks from the heart about the remarkable effect horses have had on his life, and on the lives of others. Drawing not just from his own decades of experience but also from a wealth of classic horse stories, this book captures the unique connection between humans and horses -- and the power, courage, mindfulness, and healing that they can inspire in us. 2017.By Frederick Doerflinger. 1971

producer of her television show. This book is her answer to the many questions asked about her life, as well as an examination of her own influences and aspirations. 1998.By Kathleen Turner. 2017
Turner shares her childhood challenges--a life lived in countries around the world until her father, a State Department official whom…
she so admired, died suddenly when she was a teenager. She talks about her twenty year marriage, and why she and her husband recently separated, her close relationship with her daughter, her commitment to service, and how activism in controversial causes has bolstered her beliefs. And Turner reveals the pain and heartbreak of her struggle with rheumatoid arthritis, and how, in spite of it, she made a daring decision: to take a break from the movies and relaunch her stage career. Along the way, Turner describes what it's like to work with legends like Jack Nicholson, Michael Douglas, William Hurt, Steve Martin, Francis Ford Coppola, John Huston, John Waters, and Edward Albee, and, with characteristic irreverent humour, shares her behind-the-screen stories of dealing with all types of creative, intimidating, and inspiring characters. 2017.By Bridget Joan Stutchbury. 2007

Examines the most threatening factors to this vital element in our ecosystem: pesticides, the destruction of vital habitat, coffee plantations, bright lights and structures of our cities, the notorious cowbird, and global warming. 2007.By Monty Roberts. 1999
