Book Description
"Dogs love to lie on their backs. They love to sniff things; dig; swim in water, be it salty or fresh; pull against their leashes; carry sticks; and in almost any situation, bark loudly and insistently - more often than not at something unseen or unheard by lowly humans. Elliott Erwitt - as luck would have it - loves to take photographs of dogs. He loves taking photographs of dogs sniffing things, dogs digging, dogs swimming in ponds or in the ocean, dogs carrying sticks, dogs barking at something, and, more often than not, dogs lying on their backs in the grass, belly up and grinning from ear to ear." "Elliott Erwitt is a man of consequence: statesmen, authors, icons, and film stars make up his portfolio; he's been a member and three-time president of Magnum Photos; he's made critically acclaimed films and has produced for television. But, for all the impressive names and important achievements, his career just keeps going to the dogs. After a few minutes in the company of Woof; it's easy to see why."--BOOK JACKET.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 378
Book Description
Noah and Violet Oberllyn worked for the government for years and always dreamed of having a retreat center when they retired. Just as it seemed those dreams were going to happen, an odd series of events forced their over achieving adult children to have to return home to the retreat center to live - all four of them with spouses in tow- each driven from their homes by different aspects of a government that appeared set on destroying the planet. Led by their eldest son Kai, they uncover a secret committee of people called the Brotherhood whose main goal appears to be to take the earth's population down from 7 billion to 500 million within the next 10 years. Having released an airborne anti-fertility virus that rapidly spread across the planet, the Committee succeeded in forcing a zero fertility rate. In the meantime, the economy of the US tanked, and the government sells all citizens who have debt into slavery within a system so harsh that civil disorder breaks out. The Infant Conspiracy is dystopian-but not future, since everything in it is present day tech-and it is creepily possible. Be prepared to be disturbed-and to want to do something to stop this feom happening now.

The Other End of the Leash

Publisher: Ballantine Books
ISBN: 0307489183
Category : Pets
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
Learn to communicate with your dog—using their language “Good reading for dog lovers and an immensely useful manual for dog owners.”—The Washington Post An Applied Animal Behaviorist and dog trainer with more than twenty years’ experience, Dr. Patricia McConnell reveals a revolutionary new perspective on our relationship with dogs—sharing insights on how “man’s best friend” might interpret our behavior, as well as essential advice on how to interact with our four-legged friends in ways that bring out the best in them. After all, humans and dogs are two entirely different species, each shaped by its individual evolutionary heritage. Quite simply, humans are primates and dogs are canids (as are wolves, coyotes, and foxes). Since we each speak a different native tongue, a lot gets lost in the translation. This marvelous guide demonstrates how even the slightest changes in our voices and in the ways we stand can help dogs understand what we want. Inside you will discover: • How you can get your dog to come when called by acting less like a primate and more like a dog • Why the advice to “get dominance” over your dog can cause problems • Why “rough and tumble primate play” can lead to trouble—and how to play with your dog in ways that are fun and keep him out of mischief • How dogs and humans share personality types—and why most dogs want to live with benevolent leaders rather than “alpha wanna-bes!” Fascinating, insightful, and compelling, The Other End of the Leash is a book that strives to help you connect with your dog in a completely new way—so as to enrich that most rewarding of relationships.
