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 Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil written by John Berendt and published by Random House. This book was released on 1994-01-13 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A modern classic of true crime, set in a most beguiling Southern city—now in a 30th anniversary edition with a new afterword by the author “Elegant and wicked . . . might be the first true-crime book that makes the reader want to book a bed and breakfast for an extended weekend at the scene of the crime.”—The New York Times Book Review Shots rang out in Savannah’s grandest mansion in the misty, early morning hours of May 2, 1981. Was it murder or self-defense? For nearly a decade, the shooting and its aftermath reverberated throughout this hauntingly beautiful city of moss-hung oaks and shaded squares. In this sharply observed, suspenseful, and witty narrative, John Berendt skillfully interweaves a hugely entertaining first-person account of life in this isolated remnant of the Old South with the unpredictable twists and turns of a landmark murder case. It is a spellbinding story peopled by a gallery of remarkable characters: the well-bred society ladies of the Married Woman’s Card Club; the turbulent young gigolo; the hapless recluse who owns a bottle of poison so powerful it could kill every man, woman, and child in Savannah; the aging and profane Southern belle who is the “soul of pampered self-absorption”; the uproariously funny drag queen; the acerbic and arrogant antiques dealer; the sweet-talking, piano-playing con artist; young people dancing the minuet at the black debutante ball; and Minerva, the voodoo priestess who works her magic in the graveyard at midnight. These and other Savannahians act as a Greek chorus, with Berendt revealing the alliances, hostilities, and intrigues that thrive in a town where everyone knows everyone else. Brilliantly conceived and masterfully written, Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil is a sublime and seductive reading experience.

Download or read book Women in Early Imperial China written by Bret Hinsch and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2010-08-16 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After a long spell of chaos, the Qin and Han dynasties (221 BCE–220 CE) saw the unification of the Chinese Empire under a single ruler, government, and code of law. During this era, changing social and political institutions affected the ways people conceived of womanhood. New ideals were promulgated, and women's lives gradually altered to conform to them. And under the new political system, the rulers' consorts and their families obtained powerful roles that allowed women unprecedented influence in the highest level of government. Recognized as the leading work in the field, this introductory survey offers the first sustained history of women in the early imperial era. Now in a revised edition that incorporates the latest scholarship and theoretical approaches, the book draws on extensive primary and secondary sources in Chinese and Japanese to paint a remarkably detailed picture of the distant past. Bret Hinsch's introductory chapters orient the nonspecialist to early imperial Chinese society; subsequent chapters discuss women's roles from the multiple perspectives of kinship, wealth and work, law, government, learning, ritual, and cosmology. An enhanced array of line drawings, a Chinese-character glossary, and extensive notes and bibliography enhance the author's discussion. Historians and students of gender and early China alike will find this book an invaluable overview.

Download or read book Major Tom written by Dennis O'Brien and published by . This book was released on 2017-12-31 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Fellow delegates, our mission is nothing less than to restore that hope, to give the people of our planet a future they can believe in. To counter the despair of war and violence and neglect. We have a unique opportunity to set an example and create a new future for humanity, to build that shining city on a hill that will light the way for all."- Major Tom Liping, from her speech to the Space Treaty Conference advocating adoption of the Moon Treaty.Major Tom is a realistic, near-future story of two Chinese taikonauts and their U.S. counterparts who get caught up in the race to establish the first permanent human settlement on the Moon. Their idealism conflicts with national leaders who want their own country's economic system and political philosophy to dominate. At stake is humanity's destiny as we leave our home planet and begin our journey to other celestial bodies. Who will prevail?Major Tom is one part political thriller, one part science fiction, and one part romance. It entertains the reader while exploring the future of space exploration and commercial development. A must read for those interested in the next great conflict - and the next great cause.Dennis O'Brien is a retired attorney with a strong science background. Before law school he spent a year at Virginia Tech as a graduate teaching assistant in the history of science. In 1984-85 he was a member of the NASA-Hastings Law Project in San Francisco. His treatise, OTV: An Argument for the Independent Trader, argued for more involvement of private enterprise at a time when NASA was committed to using the Space Shuttle for almost all U.S. activity in space. Although rejected at the time because it limited NASA to public policy missions, the treatise predicted the current public-private model for the exploration and development of outer space.Dennis has recently started The Space Treaty Project, whose mission is to educate the public about the benefits of the Moon Treaty. Proceeds from the sale of Major Tom will be dedicated to the project. The Space Treaty Project is fiscally sponsored by Cloud Forest Institute, an educational and scientific 501c3 tax exempt non-profit corporation. Tax deductible donations on behalf of the Space Treaty Project can be mailed to Cloud Forest Institute, PO Box 1435, Ukiah, CA 95482 or made on line at www.cloudforest.org.

The picture on the author page is of him and two other original members in 2011 (author in center), when the team won the San Francisco city championship. His first book, The Best Seat In The House, is about the team's first five years, culminating in their first division championship. It is available online at http: //www.sonic.net/ headroom/bestseat/index.htm.Dennis began college as an engineering major but ended up with a history degree, due in large part to Isaac Asimov's Foundation series and the concept of psychohistory. He spent most of his career as a legal aid lawyer and helping nonprofit organizations. He is currently a programmer (DJ) at KMEC 105.1 (kmecradio.org) in Ukiah, California. His weekly show, Old Time Radio, airs on Tuesdays at 7:00pm (Pacific Time) and features radio shows from the Golden Age such as The Shadow and Sherlock Holmes, along with music from the 50's and 60's.
