Why Dogs Chase Cars
Author: George Singleton
Publisher: Algonquin Books
ISBN: 1565129113
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 309
Book Description
These fourteen funny stories tell the tale of a beleaguered boyhood down home where the dogs still run loose. As a boy growing up in the tiny backwater town of Forty-Five, South Carolina (where everybody is pretty much one beer short of a six-pack), all Mendal Dawes wants is out. It's not just his hometown that's hopeless. Mendal's father is just as bad. Embarrassing his son to death nearly every day, Mr. Dawes is a parenting guide's bad example. He buries stuff in the backyard—fake toxic barrels, imitation Burma Shave signs (BIRD ON A WIRE, BIRD ON A PERCH, FLY TOWARD HEAVEN, FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH), yardstick collections. He calls Mendal "Fuzznuts" and makes him recite Marx and Durkheim daily and befriend a classmate rumored to have head lice. Mendal Dawes is a boy itching to get out of town, to take the high road and leave the South and his dingbat dad far behind—just like those car-chasing dogs. But bottom line, this funky, sometimes outrageous, and always very human tale is really about how Mendal discovers that neither he nor the dogs actually want to catch a ride, that the hand that has fed them has a lot more to offer. On the way to watching that light dawn, we also get to watch the Dawes's precarious relationship with a place whose "gene pool [is] so shallow that it wouldn't take a Dr. Scholl's insert to keep one's soles dry." To be consistently funny is a great gift. To be funny and cynical and empathetic all at the same time is George Singleton's special gift, put brilliantly into play in this new collection.

In 2011, Janet Devlin wowed X-Factor judges and charmed the nation with her unique vocals and performances.

How to give your dog a real dog's life
Author: Owen Jones
Publisher: Tektime
ISBN: 8835462169
Category : Pets
Languages : en
Pages : 115
Book Description
Dogs of a certain breed may share some behavioural characteristics. For example, most Labradors enjoy swimming and love to fetch a ball or a stick, because retrieving fallen game is what they were designed to do. There are exceptions to every rule, but knowing a breed's designed behavioural (as well as physical) characteristics will help you to decide on a dog that will likely be a good fit for you and your lifestyle. The more research you do before you go to choose your dog, the more likely you are to get the best dog for you and / or your family or environment. You are taking the right first step now by considering this book. Almost everyone has fond memories of being with animals when they were young, it is what makes people try to reproduce the situation either for themselves or their children, but what most people forget, is that their parents trained those animals, they did not just come like that. There is no such thing as a perfect pet, perfect dog, perfect human or perfect anything. There is as good as you're going to get, as best as you can make it and what best suits you.

No Bull
Author: Kelly Palmer
Publisher: Tate Publishing
ISBN: 1617397342
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 148
Book Description
Finally, someone is asking the questions that need to be asked... No Bull may be politically incorrect and may offend. It addresses many topics that most preachers will not discuss for fear of losing part of their congregations or losing their jobs. But if you want an honest, straight-talking assessment of the current state of Christianity and Christian churches, then this is the book for you. No Bull reveals false teachings in the Christian church. It exposes several instances of churches doing things that the Bible clearly says not to do. Several topics are addressed, from marriage and family life to evolution versus creationism to the age of accountability and the rapture. Church leaders, and all Christians, will benefit greatly from the frank opinions expressed in No Bull. New author Kelly Palmer takes a commonsense, Bible-based approach to issues facing Christianity today. The conversational tone and personal touch make for a fun, thought-provoking read.

Chasing Automation
Author: Jerry Prout
Publisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 1501764004
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 381
Book Description
Chasing Automation tells the story of how a group of reform-minded politicians during the heyday of America's industrial prowess (1921–1966) sought to plan for the technological future. Beginning with Warren G. Harding and the Conference he convened in 1921, Jerry Prout looks at how the US political system confronted the unemployment caused by automation. Both liberals and conservatives spoke to the crucial role of technology in economic growth and the need to find work for the unemployed, and Prout shows how their disputes turned on the means of achieving these shared goals and the barriers that stood in the way. This political history highlights the trajectories of two premier scientists of the period, Norbert Wiener and Vannevar Bush, who walked very different paths. Wiener began quietly developing his language of cybernetics in the 1920s though its effect would not be realized until the late 1940s. The more pragmatic Bush was tapped by FDR to organize the scientific community and his ultimate success—the Manhattan Project—is emblematic of the technological hubris of the era. Chasing Automation shows that as American industrial productivity dramatically increased, the political system was at the mercy of the steady advance of job replacing technology. It was the sheer unpredictability of technological progress that ultimately posed the most formidable challenge. Reformers did not succeed in creating a federal planning agency, but they did create a enduring safety net of laws that workers continue to benefit from today as we face a new wave of automation and artificial intelligence.
