El caballo se comunica a través de un lenguaje corporal, silencioso, por medio de señales, posturas, resonancias energéticas, también de un lenguaje químico y en menor medida por vocalizaciones propias de su especie. Para comprenderlos es necesario conocer ese mundo comunicativo y para curarlos cuando se enferman hay que trabajar tanto el plano fisico como el animico y el energetico.La autora ha desarrollado una terapia integradora basada en la comunicacion con el caballo, gracias a la cual trabaja con ellos en planos profundos y sutiles. Es decir, que, ademas de tratar su sintomatologia clinica, trabaja con su estado de animo en busca de la resolucion de conflictos para devolverles su dignidad animal, muy despreciada en algunos ambitos, donde los caballos son tratados como maquinas al servicio del ego cuando se cierran los ojos a sus necesidades. La medicina homeopatica, la acupresion, las tecnicas corporales, la etologia o el reiki forman parte de esta terapia integral y ofrecen un modo de comunicacion que posibilita tratar al animal como un todo.

The question of the hive is, of course, the all-important one to the bee-keeper; upon it depends in very large measure the success or non-success of his enterprise. To the beginner, especially, it is a matter for serious consideration, one not to be dealt with in any haphazard fashion. There are so many forms and varieties of hive on the market to-day that the novice, who perhaps started out with the idea that a hive was merely "a hiveany one would doand the bees would accomplish the rest," is puzzled as to how to make a selection. As a general recommendation in this direction I would say, select the one that is least complicated and easiest to clean . Simplicity in working, combined with efficiency in its purpose, is a sure and safe standard to apply when selecting a hive. It is as well for the beginner to try one or two varieties, so that he may find out by experience which is better suited to his particular district, and the most convenient to manipulate. That settled, he can then adopt for general use the one best suited to his purpose.

In "The Science of Animal Locomotion (Zoopraxography)," Eadweard Muybridge pioneers the exploration of motion through a groundbreaking fusion of art and science. Utilizing innovative sequential photography, this work captures the intricacies of animal movement, presenting a series of images that reveal the mechanics of locomotion. The book employs a meticulous aesthetic style, merging the precision of scientific inquiry with a creative visual narrative, thus situating Muybridge at the intersection of the emerging fields of photography and biomechanics during the late 19th century. Muybridge, an English photographer and inventor, became fascinated with motion after a wager about a galloping horse prompted him to develop techniques that would change visual documentation forever. His experimentations were influenced by the technological advancements of his time and the burgeoning interest in film, leading him to create what is often considered a precursor to motion pictures. Muybridges personal challenges and relentless pursuit of knowledge fueled his dedication to understanding and depicting movement in ways that had never been attempted before. This seminal work is essential for scholars, photographers, and enthusiasts of visual studies, offering a profound understanding of motion that is as relevant today as it was in Muybridges era. Readers will appreciate the intricate balance of technical precision and aesthetic beauty, making "Zoopraxography" not only a scientific treatise but also a work of art that continues to inspire contemporary discussions on motion and representation.
