For mange år siden fik dyretelepatør, terapeut og clairvoyant Ditte Young at vide, at hun en dag ville få himlen og jorden til at mødes. Et arbejde, som hun ikke vidste, hvordan ville blive muligt. I arbejdet med hestene begyndte hun at forstå, hvor stor en udvikling der er i den sjælerejse, man som rytter gennemgår sammen med sin hest. En rejse, hvor to sjæle mødes og spejler hinanden på godt og ondt. Et udviklingsarbejde, som kan være smertefuldt og bekymrende, men også fyldt med latter, smil, sammenhold og kærlighed. Derfor gør det alt arbejdet og det hårde slid med hestene det hele værd. Med dem kan du opleve et NU og en mening med livet, hvis du er stille og lytter til, hvad hesten hvisker til dig. Bogen handler om, hvilken rolle hestene spiller i menneskets personlige og åndelige udvikling. Hvordan det kan lade sig gøre at kommunikere med dem uden sprog. Du vil også kunne læse om, hvad der sker med heste i forbindelse med en aflivning, om reinkarnation og om sjælens rejse til det evige liv. Du kan læse om evidens og også om den store modstand, Ditte Young mødte på sin vej i et for hende ukendt land, da hun ikke selv havde haft med heste at gøre, men som hun med årene fik et indgående kendskab til. I Ditte Youngs arbejde med hestene kæmper hun for, at du som rytter stoler på det, du mærker – alt, hvad du mærker, er netop sandheden for dig. Om forfatteren Ditte Young er uddannet psykoterapeut, clairvoyant, kranio-sakral-terapeut og healer og så er hun en af Danmarks mest anerkendte dyretelepatører. Hun holder foredrag, konsultationer, kurser og uddannelse både i ind- og udland. Hun arbejder med alle typer af hesteejere både fritidsryttere og eliteryttere fra landsholdet, inden for dressur, spring, military, western og meget mere og over det meste af verden.

'Thrilling and eye-opening' Lewis Dartnell'Unpicks everything we thought we knew... Mind blowing' Cal Flyn'A revelation' Sathnam SangheraHumans did not make history - we played host.According to the accepted narrative of progress, a few great humans have bent the arc of history. But in this revelatory book, Dr Jonathan Kennedy argues that germs have done more to shape humanity at every stage, from the first success of Homo sapiens over the equally intelligent Neanderthals to the fall of Rome and the rise of Islam.How did an Indonesian volcano help cause the Black Death, setting Europe on the road to capitalism? How could 168 men extract the largest ransom in history from an opposing army of eighty thousand? And why did the Industrial Revolution lead to the birth of the modern welfare state?The latest science reveals that infectious diseases are not just something that happens to us, but a fundamental part of who we are. Indeed, the only reason humans don't lay eggs is that a virus long ago inserted itself into our DNA, and there are as many bacteria in your body as there are human cells. We have been thinking about the survival of the fittest all wrong: evolution is not simply about human strength and intelligence, but about how we live and thrive in a world dominated by microbes.By exploring the startling intimacy of our relationship with infectious diseases, Kennedy shows how they have been responsible for some of the seismic revolutions of the past 50,000 years. Provocative and brimming with insight, Pathogenesis transforms our understanding of the human story, revealing how the crisis of a pandemic can offer vital opportunities for change.

Gareth Steel wants you to understand vets in a way you never could have before.How it feels to watch a healed dog bound into their owner's arms. The joy of breathing life into the fluid-filled lungs of a newborn calf after a difficult labour. The satisfaction of rescuing a distressed sheep from the high-tide line.What it's like to work 100-hour weeks for less than the minimum wage. How it can scar your soul to euthanize a beloved puppy with its grieving family beside you. The pressure of having to know such a diverse range of medicine, that one hour you can be protecting yourself from a dangerously distressed horse and the next you can be performing delicate surgery on a tiny mouse.
