These shapes or figures at first seem so like angels then like souls whose buried bodies still lie beneath the street. We know the shapes are the figures that constantly floated throught the Roman imagination carrying their private grief and their public hints of earlier gods and goddesses. Stephen Brigidi has photographed them brilliantly so the gods and goddesses stand out from the brown or blue walls of desire." ; VG/VG New York : Ballantine Books, 1992. hardcover

He can take a wild high-strung horse who has never before been handled and persuade that horse to accept a bridle saddle and rider in thirty minutes. His powers may seem like magic but his amazing "horse sense" is based on a lifetime of experience. Roberts started riding at the age of two and at the age of thirteen he went alone into the high deserts of Nevada to study mustangs in the wild. What he learned there changed his life forever. He tells about his early days as a rodeo rider in California his problems with his violent horse-trainer father who was unwilling to accept Monty's unconventional training methods his friendship with James Dean his struggle to be accepted in the professional horse-training community and the invitation that changed his life - to demonstrate his method of "join-up" to the Queen of England. From his groundbreaking work with horses Roberts has acquired an unprecedented understanding of nonverbal communication an understanding that applies to human relationships as well. He has shown that between parent and child employee and employer he's worked with over 25 0 corporations including General Motors IBM Disney and Merrill Lynch and abuser and abused there are forms of communication far stronger than the spoken word and that they are accessible to all who will learn to listen."-jacket ; beige and green cloth with gold lettering in color photograhpic dustjacket ; FINE/FINE New York : Random House, 1997. hardcover
