Horses in Company, a revolutionary (¿radically??) new analysis of horse social behaviour, opens the way towards a better understanding of horses on both ethological and practical levels. Based on first-hand observations of wild horses and their evolutionary need for collective defence against predators, it shows how domestic life distorts horses' natural social relations, encouraging misinterpretation, mistreatment and human-horse problems.
In 1936 the Mongolian socialist government decreed the establishment of a film industry with the principal aim of disseminating propaganda. It sent young rural Mongolian musicians to Soviet conservatoires to be trained formally as composers. On their return they utilized their traditional Mongolian musical backgrounds and the musical skills learned during their studies to compose scores to the 167 propaganda films produced between 1938 and 1990.

Case studies of composers and film scores are presented, demonstrating the influence of cultural policy on film music and showing how film scores complemented the ideological message of the films.
