Book Description
They watch our every move, study our habits, judge our moods, and time our activities. They plot elaborate subterfuges to manipulate us into doing their bidding and trick us into participating in their nefarious schemes. They charm us into loving them. They are our dogs. Genevieve, a brilliant seven-pound papillon who dares to break the canine code of silence, invites you into the inner sanctum of dogdom in this hilarious exposé about what dogs really think of their people. In her bitingly funny memoir, Genevieve reveals canine secrets never before shared with humans while also passing on her devious tricks-of-the-trade to her legions of furry pupils. In Small Dog, Big Life, Genevieve sinks her teeth into such topics as driving tips for dogs, the tragedy of doorbells in TV commercials, measuring the intelligence of humans, finding a reason for cats, how prehistoric dogs saved the caveman's bacon, converting your house into an agility course, and productive kitchen behavior. Throughout, Genevieve unleashes a scathing analysis of human culture that will have sociologists all over the world looking for new jobs, while inspiring canines everywhere to rise up and assume their rightful places as heads of the household. Insightful, entertaining, and peppered with sophistication, wit, and charm, Small Dog, Big Life is not only for animal lovers of all ages but for anyone who appreciates an ironic sense of humor. And, ultimately, through Genevieve's "words," it is a celebration of the wondrous and loving relationship between dogs and their people.

Book Description
A triumphant memoir by the former editor-in-chief of French Elle that reveals an indomitable spirit and celebrates the liberating power of consciousness. In 1995, Jean-Dominique Bauby was the editor-in-chief of French Elle, the father of two young children, a 44-year-old man known and loved for his wit, his style, and his impassioned approach to life. By the end of the year he was also the victim of a rare kind of stroke to the brainstem. After 20 days in a coma, Bauby awoke into a body which had all but stopped working: only his left eye functioned, allowing him to see and, by blinking it, to make clear that his mind was unimpaired. Almost miraculously, he was soon able to express himself in the richest detail: dictating a word at a time, blinking to select each letter as the alphabet was recited to him slowly, over and over again. In the same way, he was able eventually to compose this extraordinary book. By turns wistful, mischievous, angry, and witty, Bauby bears witness to his determination to live as fully in his mind as he had been able to do in his body. He explains the joy, and deep sadness, of seeing his children and of hearing his aged father's voice on the phone. In magical sequences, he imagines traveling to other places and times and of lying next to the woman he loves. Fed only intravenously, he imagines preparing and tasting the full flavor of delectable dishes. Again and again he returns to an "inexhaustible reservoir of sensations," keeping in touch with himself and the life around him. Jean-Dominique Bauby died two days after the French publication of The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. This book is a lasting testament to his life.

Excerpt: ...made to depart; and my Lord Mayor attempting to go, was beat back twice or thrice, but at last they let him and the Aldermen go, and kept the Sheriffs and me till evening. At last Mr. Papillon came up to me; 'Mr. Papillon, ' says I, 'I am glad to see you, you will hear reason;' says he, 'Why do you not go on with the Poll?' I told him, 'My Lord Mayor had adjourned the Hall.' Says he, 'I did not hear it before; but now you tell me so, I will go out of the Hall.' Says I, 'Sir, you will do very well to tell the Hall so;' which he did, and some went away; and further adjournments were made by the direction of my Lord Mayor." The order of Adjournment was imperfectly heard through the noise and clamour; but doubtless the Sheriffs were soon told of it; still they let the polling go on till eight p.m., and then they adjourned the Hall till Tuesday, the See "State Trials," 8th May, 1683. 27th, according to the Lord Mayor's directions. In both the continuance of the Poll, and the Adjournment of the Hall, they felt they were quite within their proper province. On Monday, the 26th, complaint having been made to the King and Council of the Lord Mayor having been grossly insulted, the latter, with the Aldermen and Sheriffs, were ordered to appear before them; and after examination, the Sheriffs were committed to the Tower, and orders given to the Attorney General to prosecute all encouragers and promoters of the tumult. (Thornton's " History of London," p. 225.) On Tuesday, the 27th, with the advice of the Court of Aldermen, the Lord Mayor again adjourned the Hall to the 5th July. A Protest signed by various Citizens was entered against this adjournment, as a dangerous proceeding, and an invasion of the rights and liberties of...
