BESTSELLERS

This book is for all horse owners but especially those whose horses and ponies may not be able to be ridden, either temporarily or permanently, for whatever reason or who chose not to ride, to enable both horse and owner to enjoy a fulfilling relationship. Most of the time we just turn up at the yard, do the jobs we need to do, catch our horses, groom them, tack them up and ride - why not become a bigger part of their lives, create a better bond and understanding and take some of the pressure of yourself! All of the activities are designed to enable you to develop a much better relationship with your horse and are all based on the principle that our horses and ponies are and always should be seen as our friends and partners.

Einführend werden die Ideologieelemente der „Querdenker“ besprochen, dort auch die Ergebnisse der ersten empirischen Studien zu „Querdenkern“ und Teilnehmern an Corona-Demonstrationen. Verschwörungserzählungen sind ein (potenzieller) Radikalisierungsfaktor und spielen für die Bewegung der „Querdenker“ eine wichtige Rolle. So werden verschiedene aktuelle internationale Verschwörungserzählungen von „Querdenkern“ aufgegriffen, darunter auch die antisemitische Verschwörungserzählung „QAnon“. In Reaktion auf die „Querdenker“-Bewegung haben die deutschen Verfassungsschutzbehörden einen neuen Phänomenbereich von Extremismus festgestellt, die „verfassungsschutzrelevante Delegitimierung des Staates“. Bei der Analyse der Szene der „Querdenker“ muss differenziert werden, weil eine komplexe Mischung aus Radikalismus, Verschwörungserzählungen und Extremismus festzustellen ist.

With advancing age you are supposedly blessed with more tolerance, understanding, and wisdom. While I cannot confirm that supposition, I can report that I am never at a loss for an opinion on any topic. This book is a compilation of rants, reactions, responses and reflections on a diverse list of topics. Some of the topics include: gun control in the USA, Naturopathic medicine, modern miracles, salt consumption, eating bacon, bicycle fishermen, chain gangs and the war on drugs. The latter portion of the book contains reactions and reflections based upon our three month visit to Thailand and Cambodia. This section includes reactions and reflections on topics such as the Bamboo Train, Chiang Mai, the killing fields of Cambodia, the flying chicken restaurant, 7-11 stores, washing elephants and a host of other bizarre experiences.
