Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The remarkable Sorraia horse a resilient breed that shaped American history from Spanish conquest to the modern West now fights for survival in a contentious battle between preservation and progress. In 1519, when indigenous peoples first encountered Hernán Cortés's mounted army, they believed they were witnessing supernatural creatures half-man, half-beast. These 'monsters' were Sorraia horses, compact but hardy steeds from southern Portugal whose stamina and adaptability would prove crucial to the European conquest of the Americas. While smaller than other breeds, these resilient horses not only survived grueling Atlantic crossings but thrived in the New World, becoming the foundation of the American mustang. Though nearly forgotten by history until the 20th century, the Sorraia's legacy endures in isolated wild herds across South Dakota, Wyoming, Oregon, and Nevada. Today, these living links to America's past find themselves at the center of an increasingly urgent debate over public lands, wildlife management, and cultural preservation. Marine biologist and horse breeder John Christopher Fine draws from extensive research and firsthand experience to trace this remarkable breed's journey from its Iberian origins through its role in shaping North American history to its current status as a rare breed fighting for survival. Featuring over 100 stunning color photographs, this richly detailed narrative reveals not just the story of a horse, but a mirror of America's complex relationship with its wild heritage.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - A Definitive Celebration of Hollywood's Iconic Musical Star and Her Legendary CareerMore than 100 years after her birth, Judy Garland remains the gold standard by which all movie musical leading ladies are judged. She is revered and celebrated by current stars, directors, songwriters, and others in the entertainment industry. She also has a fan base that is as large as that of Marilyn Monroe or James Dean. Her image, especially "Dorothy" in The Wizard of Oz (1939), is an instantly recognized icon. Garland really was the voice of MGM during her tenure and after. No documentary about any aspect of the history of the MGM Studios is complete without Garland's voice on the soundtrack. When people think of MGM Musicals, they think of Garland along with Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire. She's the only female in that exalted "top three." There have been many books about Garland's fabled and troubled life, but none devoted solely to the study (and celebration) of her years at MGM. She entered the studio as a 13-year-old contract player in 1935. She left the studio in 1950 carrying the title "Metro's Greatest Asset." Judy Garland: The Voice of MGM will focus on Garland's films, but it will also delve into her other professional achievements such as her extensive appearances on radio programs, her long association with Decca Records, and her personal appearances, highlighted by her two USO Bond Tours in the early 1940s. This will be the definitive book about Garland's legendary career at MGM, pulling back the curtain to reveal the truths about that career while also presenting previously unknown details and facts that are sure to delight her fans as well as fans of classic film.
