Book excerpt: #1 New York Times Bestseller “Funny and smart as hell” (Bill Gates), Allie Brosh’s Hyperbole and a Half showcases her unique voice, leaping wit, and her ability to capture complex emotions with deceptively simple illustrations. FROM THE PUBLISHER: Every time Allie Brosh posts something new on her hugely popular blog Hyperbole and a Half the internet rejoices. This full-color, beautifully illustrated edition features more than fifty percent new content, with ten never-before-seen essays and one wholly revised and expanded piece as well as classics from the website like, “The God of Cake,” “Dogs Don’t Understand Basic Concepts Like Moving,” and her astonishing, “Adventures in Depression,” and “Depression Part Two,” which have been hailed as some of the most insightful meditations on the disease ever written. Brosh’s debut marks the launch of a major new American humorist who will surely make even the biggest scrooge or snob laugh. We dare you not to. FROM THE AUTHOR: This is a book I wrote. Because I wrote it, I had to figure out what to put on the back cover to explain what it is. I tried to write a long, third-person summary that would imply how great the book is and also sound vaguely authoritative—like maybe someone who isn’t me wrote it—but I soon discovered that I’m not sneaky enough to pull it off convincingly. So I decided to just make a list of things that are in the book: Pictures Words Stories about things that happened to me Stories about things that happened to other people because of me Eight billion dollars* Stories about dogs The secret to eternal happiness* *These are lies. Perhaps I have underestimated my sneakiness!

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Innocent spirits It is the year of our lord 1533. King Henry viii is on the throne and is burning down the monasteries; there is chaos in the country as Catholics are being persecuted. Many Catholics are either running or has gone into hiding. But it is not only the Catholics that are being hunted, witches are too. Or at least innocent people being accused of witchcraft are. So-called witches and their pets are being burnt at the stake when the real witches were using their magic to keep them out of trouble. However, For Emily Waterson, she was in real danger. Emily is a witch, not the evil sort stereotyped by old wives tales, but a good witch, as good as they come. Her only want in life is too live a quite life where her family and loved ones are safe. But that is not to be as her little sister Geraldine is the only person in her family that knows of her abilities, and for many years this was the case until a werewolf threatened the whole family while they slept in their beds. Or at least that is what Emily thought. After eradicating the threat on a cold, stormy night, she went back into her home to find that her mother had seen everything. Horrified, her father and Geraldine were woken up and everything had to be explained. Geraldine was not the secretive the little sister that Emily needed her to be. For all the time that Geraldine had known about Emilys abilities, she had held Emily over a barrel. Geraldine demanded her sister was there to answer her every beck and call. So when their parents found out about Emilys gifts, Geraldine was not happy because she could no longer get her own way. Though this would have been a relief for Emily but it put her in an even bigger danger, it was no longer their parents Geraldine was threatening to tell. It was the authorities, and therefore the witch hunters. Years went by and Emily stayed with her parents and the presence of her horrible little sister. However, Emily does have a pet cat, a black cat that has just a few strands of white fur. His name is Shadow. But shadow is no ordinary cat, Shadow is a familiar, a faerie that can only be explained a guardian angel for witches. Emily falls in love with a vampire warlock named Ervin Grossell. He is almost half a century old. He was a warlock before he was turned, which happened during the fight with the Vikings in 1066. At the time, King Harold was so concerned about the Normans invading from the South he wasnt watching the North when the Vikings attacked during the time of the battle of Hastings. Ervin fought many of the Northern foreigners, but some were so strong and fast, there was no way they could have been human. As it turns out, some of them werent, some were vampires. It was at this time that Ervin was defeated and became the person he is now. As a warlock, Ervin also had a familiar; her name was Sapphire, aptly named due to the colour of her eyes. One dreadful night, Geraldine must have had enough of the games she was playing and eventually went to the authorities with what she knows about her sister, Emily. Emilys parents caught on to what Geraldine had done and her mother snuck her out the rear of the house while her father joined the hunt and tried to lead them in the wrong direction. But with Geraldine as their official guide, their father was trying in vein to help his daughter get away. Emily and Shadow ran to the only place they thought they would be safe, Ervins and Sapphires home. They had to run through the black of night, through the pine forest and over the Brooke. Emily used her magic to destroy the wooden bridge over the Brooke, their only means of getting across. But the hunt was still on and even though Emily and Shadow was doing their best to stay safe they knew it was only a matter of time before the hunters would find a way to get over the Brooke and find them. As soon as Emily and Shadow reached Ervins house they
