Mat,
In Riak you would implement this pattern with links. Ripple helps you do
similar queries to has_many :through, but there is no automatic thing for it
yet (it needs some more thought). In the meantime, do this:
class Publisher
include Ripple::Document
many :authors
def books
authors.map {|a| a.books }.flatten
end
end
