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.

In "Animal Behaviour," C. Lloyd Morgan meticulously examines the psychological processes underlying animal actions, intertwining observations with a philosophical inquiry into the nature of instinct and learning. Written during a pivotal time in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Morgans work employs an empirical approach that anticipated the advent of behaviorism, distinguishing itself with its clear, accessible prose and an emphasis on observational accuracy. His pioneering canon of parsimony invites the reader to interpret animal behavior through the lens of simplicity, avoiding anthropomorphism while promoting a deeper understanding of animal agency and cognition. C. Lloyd Morgan, a prominent figure in comparative psychology, was influenced by his background in natural history and philosophy. His exposure to the burgeoning field of psychology, coupled with his own scientific curiosity, inspired him to explore the complexities of animal minds. Morgans contributions were foundational, as he pushed the boundaries of animal behavior studies, advocating for rigorous observational methods that shaped modern ethology and behavioral ecology. This book is an essential read for students and enthusiasts of biology, psychology, and ethics alike, as it provides valuable insights into the rich tapestry of animal life. Morgans thoughtful explorations encourage readers to reflect on the intersections of instinct, learning, and the moral implications of our relationship with the animal kingdom.

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.
