Download or read book The Other End of the Leash written by Patricia McConnell, Ph.D. and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 2009-02-19 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Your Turn written by Julie Lythcott-Haims and published by Henry Holt and Company. This book was released on 2021-04-06 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New York Times bestselling author Julie Lythcott-Haims is back with a groundbreakingly frank guide to being a grown-up What does it mean to be an adult? In the twentieth century, psychologists came up with five markers of adulthood: finish your education, get a job, leave home, marry, and have children. Since then, every generation has been held to those same markers. Yet so much has changed about the world and living in it since that sequence was formulated. All of those markers are choices, and they’re all valid, but any one person’s choices along those lines do not make them more or less an adult. A former Stanford dean of freshmen and undergraduate advising and author of the perennial bestseller How to Raise an Adult and of the lauded memoir Real American, Julie Lythcott-Haims has encountered hundreds of twentysomethings (and thirtysomethings, too), who, faced with those markers, feel they’re just playing the part of “adult,” while struggling with anxiety, stress, and general unease. In Your Turn, Julie offers compassion, personal experience, and practical strategies for living a more authentic adulthood, as well as inspiration through interviews with dozens of voices from the rich diversity of the human population who have successfully launched their adult lives. Being an adult, it turns out, is not about any particular checklist; it is, instead, a process, one you can get progressively better at over time—becoming more comfortable with uncertainty and gaining the knowhow to keep going. Once you begin to practice it, being an adult becomes the most complicated yet also the most abundantly rewarding and natural thing. And Julie Lythcott-Haims is here to help readers take their turn.

Book excerpt: The hot August sun shone upon the southern slopes of Echo Gulch. Wisps of hot smoke filtered through the duff of dead vegetation, igniting into a small flame. The flame kindled dry vegetation around it, quickly growing bigger and bigger. Energized by fresh oxygen, the fire increased into a ruddy blaze. A light breeze whisked the fire along. It spread rapidly, igniting everything in its path as it dashed up the mountainside. The raging inferno climbed into the treetops, propelling tongues of fire and firebrands hundreds of feet into the sky. The burning brands settled into the forest miles away, starting spot fires as they landed. Salamis home was in imminent danger. Chatters had to take quick action to warn the forest critters of the massive fire and to save his family from devastation. Salami and Bozzo teamed up, to assist Mom and Dad in saving the family farm. This is a heartwarming story of Salami, Bozzo and Chatters, who faced realistic and life-threatening challenges of fire and ice. Salami, a lovable, chubby, potbellied pig, shared the farm with Mom, Dad, and his best friend, the family dog Bozzo. Their friend Chatters, the pine squirrel, lived in the nearby forest.

Download or read book Lost in Katrina written by Schaefer, Mikel and published by Pelican Publishing Company, Inc. . This book was released on 2010-09-23 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Lost in Katrina is powerful! It is the human experience during the worst storm in America's history. Mike Schaefer has captured the stories of those who not only miraculously survived, but went on to become heroes." --Angela Hill, WWL-TV anchor, New Orleans "Mike Schaefer listens. And because he listens so well, we get to hear the real stories of Katrina and St. Bernard Parish. I've seen the aftermath there with my own eyes and thought what must it have been like when the storm hit, when the floods came? Now we know. And what a story." --Harry Smith, CBS News "When friends ask me what Katrina was really like, this is the book I'll recommend to them. The individual stories Mike tells, of survival and loss, desperation and heroism, perfectly capture the unreal chaos that was Katrina. Even if, like I did, you think you know all about the storm and its aftermath, you'll find something new, and, no doubt, inspiring, in this book." --Tracy Smith, CBS News correspondent This book offers insightful, emotional accounts of life before, during, and immediately after Hurricane Katrina in a parish that seemingly disappeared from the government's sight. While President Bush was shaking hands with FEMA director Michael Browne ("Brownie," as he will long be remembered) on the fourth day after the storm, St. Bernard Parish was struggling to salvage what they could. As the rest of the world watched the worst of humanity emerge on television, ordinary people did extraordinary things to save the parish that found itself almost completely submerged in floodwater. Heart-wrenching stories of the human will to survive offer an inside perspective on what it means to be a survivor of Hurricane Katrina.

Download or read book Triumphant written by Elizabeth J.F. Vejar and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2022-11-10 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Your walk with Jesus is uniquely yours. Your gifts and talents, physical attributes, and limitations have been selected specifically for you! At first breath, you were given free will from your Creator, allowing you to make choices each day to trust and obey Him, or go another way, perhaps your own way. We all fall short of God's perfection, that is the truth. But we can choose to live an obedient life here on earth that brings forth glory to our Father in Heaven. When we choose to obey, his word promises us glorious rewards that await us in his kingdom to come. In this book, you will discover different areas in life where God calls us to obey, because He knows it is good for us. He is not up in Heaven waiting for us to make mistakes, but graciously and mercilessly carries our brokenness back to the cross to repent, and turn our hearts back to Him. This gift of forgiveness lies within Christ our Savior, and deep within the pages of the Holy Bible. The scriptures of truth and obedience have been brought to life here, in this book, Triumphant.

Download or read book A Strong West Wind written by Gail Caldwell and published by Random House. This book was released on 2007-12-18 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this exquisitely rendered memoir set on the high plains of Texas, Pulitzer Prize winner Gail Caldwell transforms into art what it is like to come of age in a particular time and place. A Strong West Wind begins in the 1950s in the wilds of the Texas Panhandle–a place of both boredom and beauty, its flat horizons broken only by oil derricks, grain elevators, and church steeples. Its story belongs to a girl who grew up surrounded by dust storms and cattle ranches and summer lightning, who took refuge from the vastness of the land and the ever-present wind by retreating into books. What she found there, from renegade women to men who lit out for the territory, turned out to offer a blueprint for her own future. Caldwell would grow up to become a writer, but first she would have to fall in love with a man who was every mother’s nightmare, live through the anguish and fire of the Vietnam years, and defy the father she adored, who had served as a master sergeant in the Second World War. A Strong West Wind is a memoir of culture and history–of fathers and daughters, of two world wars and the passionate rebellions of the sixties. But it is also about the mythology of place and the evolution of a sensibility: about how literature can shape and even anticipate a life. Caldwell possesses the extraordinary ability to illuminate the desires, stories, and lives of ordinary people. Written with humanity, urgency, and beautiful restraint, A Strong West Wind is a magical and unforgettable book, destined to become an American classic.
