Book Synopsis The Other End of the Leash by : Patricia McConnell, Ph.D.
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 Slab Rat written by Ted Heller and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2001-12-19 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the pitch-perfect tradition of the very best of Nick Hornby, Martin Amis, and Christopher Buckley comes Slab Rat, a razor-sharp, highly comic novel of lethal ambition and office politics. Zachary Arlen Post is an up-and-coming editor at It magazine, one of the glossiest jewels in the glittery publishing crown of Versailles Publishing. The son of a well-regarded architect and an eccentric Palm Beach socialite, Zack was educated at an exclusive boarding school and has studied at Colgate, Berkeley, and Liverpool University. He is an excellent golfer and has a talent for translating Plautus from the original Latin. Or maybe not. He is really Allen Zachary Post, the son of a garment-center bookkeeper from Queens and a pool-supply salesman from Long Island. But for Zack, his background is too prosaic for a slightly lazy but very ambitious magazine editor who wants to move up at It. Even though Zack has concocted a background that is more in keeping with the privileged world he wants to be a part of than the truth, his ascent up the masthead has stalled: Try though he might -- and maybe he's too lazy to try that hard -- he just cannot seem to get promoted. Enter Mark Larkin, a determined, Harvard-educated hire who understands how the corporate game is played. Mark says the right things, he lunches with the right people, and he pitches the right stories. A snob thriving in a world of snobs, he begins to get noticed, and, to Zack's dismay, is promoted quickly. Zack realizes that something must be done. Mark Larkin must be destroyed. To complicate his life further, Zack finds himself involved with two women. One is a cool (or is she just ice cold?) English beauty with a hyphenated last name and vague family connections to Winston Churchill. The other is an eager, sweet-natured intern whose father is the magazine's barracuda corporate counsel. Zack is torn between the style (and hyphen) of one and the good-natured substance of the other. In Slab Rat, Ted Heller uses the magazine industry as a laboratory in which to dissect human nature. He has written a biting, outrageous story of how the rats that battle for dominance amid New York's skyscrapers -- or "slabs" -- survive and triumph, and the price they must pay to win. Full of dark comedy and a ruthless satire of office life (and death), Slab Rat is a novel rich with the wicked pleasures of the heart.

Book excerpt: ...a memoir that is at once dramatic, disturbing, sexually charged, and often very funny, but ultimately a moving portrait of a man who has found the inner strength to overcome.... - Paul Ham, international journalist and author This is a complex, virtuoso analysis of an Australian life written by an unabashed and unrepentant authoran acidic dissection of the role that genes and environment have in developing a persons character, as well as a sauntering chronicle of social analysis. In turn, we follow the life of the author as he comes to terms with being a disaffected youth, a patriotic but naive infantryman in the Vietnam War, and an alienated, disabled veteran struggling with male status anxietyapparently inexhaustible in its capacity to cause suffering. Along the way, Tate examines the dark crevices of the male psyche as he battles inner demons and the unconditional love of his beautiful Christian wife, Carole. Above all, this memoir is a celebration of the human condition and of a man with a can-do, cavalier attitude to life and his desire to rise above mediocrity. An outstanding contribution to Australias rich heritage of memoir.
Book Synopsis The Lemon-Squash Continental Hotel by : Larry Harrison
Download or read book The Lemon-Squash Continental Hotel written by Larry Harrison and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2019-12-05 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Guido Roberts, a young man in London in 1967, is fascinated by the libertine philosophy of Aleister Crowley, the notorious Victorian practitioner of the Black Arts. Crowley’s use of hallucinogenic and mind-altering drugs like mescaline, hashish and heroin, make him a prophet, Guido believes, for the 20th century. Guido becomes entangled in a growing enthusiasm for the occult and for witchcraft, as young English feminists reclaim witchcraft as a form of female spirituality. Wanting to distance himself from a hostile witch coven, while at the same time anxious to evade a criminal gang, he persuades his father, a petty criminal known as 'the Major', to send him on a journey to the Far East. He accompanies the old man’s girlfriend in a group travelling to the kingdom of Afghanistan, where his father claims they can buy fashionable goatskin coats, and arrange to export them to the West. Unfortunately, he is deceived by his father, and by his father’s business associate, the ‘Afghan Hound’ Kamal Pasha, who is a guard at the British Museum. The Major and Kamal’s real purpose is to conceal Afghan miniatures, stolen from the British Museum, in Guido's suitcase. The historic miniatures could then be sold by Kamal in their country of origin. Guido discovers the smuggled pictures in Iran, in time to bribe the local police, and avoid prosecution for suspected heroin possession. The Iranian police deport him to Afghanistan, where he survives an attempted murder by Kamal, before witnessing his father’s friend being shot down in the street. Guido is then free to travel on to Pakistan, where he manages to sell several valuable miniatures. He then returns the remaining pictures to the British High Commission, so they can be given back to the British Museum. He is finally repatriated to London, a museum benefactor, he believes, and a British patriot, who has outsmarted his father.
Book Synopsis The Complete Works of Saki (Illustrated) by : Saki
Download or read book The Complete Works of Saki (Illustrated) written by Saki and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2023-11-30 with total page 1334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Saki's 'The Complete Works of Saki (Illustrated)' is a collection of satirical and witty short stories that encapsulate the world of Edwardian England. Known for his dark humor and clever wordplay, Saki's stories often poke fun at the pretensions and absurdities of the upper class. Each tale is rich in irony and sarcasm, making for a humorous yet thought-provoking read. The illustrations included in this edition enhance the whimsical and fantastical elements of Saki's writing. These stories provide a glimpse into the social dynamics and values of the time, making them a valuable source for understanding the cultural context of the period. Saki, the pen name of Hector Hugh Munro, was a British writer known for his unique blend of humor and social commentary. With a background in journalism and firsthand experience of the social elite, Saki's observations of Edwardian society are both incisive and entertaining. His tragic death during World War I cut short a promising literary career, but his legacy lives on in the timeless wit of his stories. I highly recommend 'The Complete Works of Saki (Illustrated)' to readers who appreciate sharp wit, clever storytelling, and an exploration of the quirks of human nature. Saki's satirical tales will delight and challenge anyone looking for a witty and engaging read.
