Full Of Valuable Advice And Illustrated With Examples Of How The Author Has Helped Well-known Equestrians, The Power To Win Is A Valuable Tool For All Competitive Or Recreational Riders-indeed, Any Athlete-at Any Level, As Well As For Instructors And Parents.

Baltimore's Streetcars And Buses.
In The 1850s, Baltimore's 170,000 Residents Had Few Options When It Came To Getting Around Town. Before The Decade's End, However, The Omnibus?an Urban Version Of The Stagecoach?emerged As Baltimore's First Mass-transit Vehicle. Horsecars Followed, Then Cable Cars, And Ultimately Electrically Powered Streetcars. Recognizing The Need For Cohesion, The City's Myriad Transit Providers Merged Into A Single Operator. United Railways And Electric Company, Incorporated In 1899, Faced The Unenviable Task Of Integrating Routes Being Served By Inadequate, Incompatible, And Often Obsolete Equipment. Over The Next Seven Decades, Privately Run Mass Transit In Baltimore Survived Bankruptcy, A Name Change, Two World Wars, The Proliferation Of Private Automobiles, A Takeover By Out-of-town Interests, And A Plethora Of New Vehicles. Arguably A Unified System Of Privately Operated Mass Transit Was No Closer To Being A Reality In 1970, When It Reached The End Of The Line And Was Taken Over By The State.

Drawing On Roosevelt's Own Accounts And On Diverse Archives, Roger Di Silvestro Tells The Exciting Story Of How Roosevelt's Spirit And Political Dynamism Were Forged During Roundups, Bronco Busting, Fist Fights, Grizzly Bear Hunts, And Encounters With Horse Thieves, Hostile Indians, And Vigilante Justice. In The Dramatic Life Of Theodore Roosevelt, Few Adventures Exceed Those That He Found In The Badlands.

The Feud That Sparked The Renaissance: How Brunelleschi And Ghiberti Changed The Art World.
Chapter One Plague Of The Bianchi In These Extraordinary Times, It Appears That Nearly All Of The Citizens Of Florence, As Well As Those Subject To The City And Residents Of Surrounding Cities And Regions, Have Put On White Linen Garments, And ... Joined In Processions. - Provvisioni Of The Signoria, September 10, 1399 In The Summer Of 1399, A Religious Mvoement Arose In Lombardy, The Northern Italian Region Around Milan, And Began To Travel Southward Toward Rome, Attracting Thousands Of Followers On The Way. They Were Called The Bianchi, The Whites, For The White Linen Robes They Wore As A Sign Of Penitence And Spiritual Renewal. The Pilgrims Reached Florence In August, And Their Effect On The City Was Extraordinary. Shops And Factories Closed As Citizens Joined Pilgrimages To Smaller Towns And Villages, Up The Arno And Into The Apennine Mountains, "piously Singing Lauds, Engaging In Acts Of Penitence, Abstaining From Meat For Nine Consecutive Days, And From Wine For Another Day, Not Sleeping In Beds ... The Air Vibrating With Their Voices." Old Enemies Swore New Friendship, And There Were Cries To Throw Open The Gates Of The City Prison. The Fervor Cut Across Social Classes, From Impoverished Cloth Workers To Wealthy Merchants And Manufacturers, Though The Rich Could Follow Their Rsligious Path In More Comfort Than The Poor. One Wealthy Merchant, Francesco Datini From The Town Of Prato, Near Florence, Wrote Of Joining A Pilgrimage On This 18th Day Of August 1399 ... Clothed Entirely In White Linen And Barefoot ... And That We Might Have What Was Necessary, I Took With Us Two Of My Horses And The Mule: And On These We Placed Two Small Saddle Chests, Containing Boxes Of Allkinds Of Comfits ... And Candles, And Fresh Bread And Biscuits And Round Cakes, Sweet And Unsweetened, And Other Things Besides That Appertain To A Man's Life. An Aristocratic And Powerful Florentine Merchant Named Buonaccorso Pitti Followed This Movement From The Isolation Of The Palazzo Della Signoria, Now Called The Palazzo Vecchio, Or "old Palace," The Massive Stone Building, Topped By A Looming Tower, Where The Nine Members Of The Signoria Lived And Worked During Their Two-month Terms Of Office. The Signoria Was The Supreme Executive Authority Of Florence, And The Brief Terms Reflected Both The Total Commitment Required Of Those Who Served And The Concept That A Short Term Of Office Prevented Any Single Man From Gaining Too Much Power. In Fact, Ambitious Men Found Ways To Consolidate Power, But By The Standards Of Medieval Europe, The Signoria And Other Florentine Institutions Formed A Noble Experiment In Republican Government. "during My Term In The Signoria," Pitti Wrote, "a Great Novelty Was Seen Throughout Italy When People Of All Conditions Began To Don White Linen Robes With Cowls Covering Their Heads And Faces, And Throng The Roads, Singing And Begging God For Grace And Mercy. While This Was Going On In
