Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dogs and humans have been so closely linked for so many thousands of years, that some experts believe we may have evolved together. Whether or not this proves to be so, it is certainly true that, for better or worse, our interdependence cannot be untangled. On one level of existence we are meant to be together. In this new collection Libby Hall once again delves into her vast archive to bring us more enchanting photographs of people and their dogs. Ranging in date from 1855 to 1940, and in format from cartes de visite and cabinet cards to studio portraits and the scruffiest of snapshots, Prince and Other Dogs II is a poignant testimony to the unchanging nature of the human-canine relationship. Each one of these photographs, whether funny or sad, odd or beautiful, demonstrates clearly the mutual feelings of love and loyalty timelessly displayed by both Man and Dog.

Cursed by his mother’s blood with an inability to die, he struggles to maintain the last shreds of his sanity in the hope rescue may yet come…. Liath—now a King’s Eagle, and still grieving over Sanglant, she strives to unlock the secrets of the past while seeking to evade the traps set for her by an obsessively ambitious man. But even a post in King Henry’s court offers her little protection from those determined to claim the forbidden knowledge she has hidden….

A man who desires nothing more than peace, he is about to be thrust into the heart of war with the Eika….

If he survives this mission, he will become a force to be reckoned with….

Download or read book Fifteen Dogs written by André Alexis and published by Coach House Books. This book was released on 2015-03-23 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2015 Scotiabank Giller Prize Finalist for the 2015 Toronto Book Awards Winner of the 2015 Rogers Writers' Trust Fiction Prize "[Alexis] devises an inventive romp through the nature of humanity in this beautiful, entertaining read … A clever exploration of our essence, communication, and how our societies are organized." – Kirkus Reviews "This might be the best set-up of the spring." – The Globe & Mail "André Alexis has established himself as one of our preeminent voices." – Toronto Star — I wonder, said Hermes, what it would be like if animals had human intelligence. — I'll wager a year's servitude, answered Apollo, that animals – any animal you like – would be even more unhappy than humans are, if they were given human intelligence. And so it begins: a bet between the gods Hermes and Apollo leads them to grant human consciousness and language to a group of dogs overnighting at a Toronto veterinary clinic. Suddenly capable of more complex thought, the pack is torn between those who resist the new ways of thinking, preferring the old 'dog' ways, and those who embrace the change. The gods watch from above as the dogs venture into their newly unfamiliar world, as they become divided among themselves, as each struggles with new thoughts and feelings. Wily Benjy moves from home to home, Prince becomes a poet, and Majnoun forges a relationship with a kind couple that stops even the Fates in their tracks. André Alexis's contemporary take on the apologue offers an utterly compelling and affecting look at the beauty and perils of human consciousness. By turns meditative and devastating, charming and strange, Fifteen Dogs shows you can teach an old genre new tricks. André Alexis was born in Trinidad and grew up in Canada. His debut novel, Childhood, won the Books in Canada First Novel Award, the Trillium Book Award, and was shortlisted for the Giller Prize and the Writers' Trust Fiction Prize. His other previous books include Asylum, Beauty and Sadness, Ingrid & the Wolf and, most recently, Pastoral, which was also nominated for the Rogers Writers' Trust Fiction Prize and was named a Globe and Mail Top 100 book of 2014.

Book excerpt: Hey guys... IT'S ME, "PRINCE" THE DOG! I should start by telling you, I'm no normal dog. I've had some crazy... life adventures. My life began in a training program located in a prison. I was forced to leave this program because I became sick. I tell my stories by writing letters to my former trainer, "Mr. Albert." I was trained to help a disabled veteran and graduated at the top of my class, but then I became ill with a disease called Addison's. After realizing I couldn't take care of someone else, I ended up being adopted by the best family ever. They take care of my special needs, and we live in a cool neighborhood in Florida! I will share everything with you, from eating a gecko, to my squirrel girlfriend and I having the craziest time together. OMG, I cannot wait for you to read all about my adventures! Just warning you... I get distracted very easily and excited a lot, so bear with me. Lick, lick, woof, wooof! If you are seven or older, you will for sure enjoy my stories. I'm quite lovable, LOL, and somewhat unpredictable! Oh yea, and animal lovers will be especially amused by my antics. Generally, strong independent readers over seven should be able to follow my letters on their own. More emergent readers may need some coaching/prompting, especially with my big words (that I'll teach you!), but this is an opportunity for your parents/teachers to read with you. BTW, here is a note from my sisters Sage and Paris: You're really going to love Prince and can write him a letter yourself. He might even answer you back! His website is: www.princethedog.com.

Download or read book The Supreme Team The Birth of Crack and Hip Hop Prince s Reign of Terror and the Supreme 50 Cent Beef Exposed written by Seth Ferranti and published by Gorilla Convict Publications. This book was released on 2023-09 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the crack era jumped off in the 1980s, many street legends were born in a hail of gunfire. Business minded and ruthless dudes seized the opportunities afforded them, and certain individuals out of the city's five boroughs became synonymous with the definition of the new era black gangster. Drugs, murder, kidnappings, shootings, more drugs, and more murder were the rule of the day. They called it "The Game," but it was a vicious attempt to come up by any means necessary. In the late 1980s, the mindset was "get mine or be mine," and nobody embodied this attitude more than the Supreme Team.The Supreme Team has gone down in street legend and the lyrical lore of hip-hop and gangsta rap as one of the most vicious crews to ever emerge on the streets of New York. Their mythical and iconic status inspired hip-hop culture and rap superstars like 50 Cent, Jay-Z, Biggie, Nas and Ja Rule. Born at the same time as crack, hip-hop was heavily influenced by the drug crews that controlled New York's streets. And the cliché of art imitating life and vice versa came full circle in the saga of the Supreme Team's infamous leaders- Kenneth "Supreme" McGriff and Gerald "Prince" Miller. In the maelstrom of the mid-80s crack storm and burgeoning hip-hop scene, their influence and relevance left a lasting impression.Going from drug baron to federal prisoner to hip-hop maestro to life in prison, Supreme was involved in hip-hop and the crack trade from day one. His run stretched decades, but in the end he fell victim to the pitfalls of the game like all before him had. His nephew, the enigmatic Prince, who had a rapid, violent, and furious rise in the streets also fell hard and fast to the tune of seven life sentences. The Supreme Team has been romanticized and glorified in hip-hop, but the truth of the matter is that most of their members are currently in prison for life or have spent decades of their prime years behind bars. This book looks at the team's climatic rise from its inception to its inevitable fall. It looks at Supreme's redemption with Murder Inc. and his relapse back into crime. This book is the Supreme Team story in all its glory, infamy, and tragedy. It's a tale of turns, twists, and fate. Meet the gangsters from Queens where the drug game influenced the style and swagger of street culture, hip-hop and gangsta rap and made the infamous cast of characters from the Supreme Team icons in the annals of urban lore.
