Book Description
These compelling, winningly illustrated true stories, each uniquely moving and inspirational, draw upon the experience of veterinarians, trainers, and volunteers to probe a range of tough, touching cases that evoke both the joy and the occasional but inevitable heartbreak that accompanies this work. Each chapter follows a dog from the first day at Dogtown until he ultimately finds (or doesn't find) a permanent new home, focusing both on the relationship between the dog and the Dogtown staff and on the latest discoveries about animal health and behavior. We learn how dogs process information, how trauma affects their behavior, and how people can help them overcome their problems. In the end, we come to see that there are no "bad dogs" and that with patience, care, and compassion, people can help dogs to heal.

Staring at the Wall for Hours

Pages : 30
Book Description
It was all lovely in the beginning for the pastor's wife. Everything seemed perfect. Then subtle hints began to surface in her marriage, hints that would become more evident with time. That was until time revealed her husband's true colors and real intents, especially after their marriage. As the pastor's wife, she covered him. She prayed through it. She even loved unconditionally through it. All of this was to no avail and led to no true repentance on the pastor's part. Soon it was realized that her pearls were being tossed before swine. She soon realized that she had been deceived but not only her; the whole church congregation and leadership had been deceived. She knew this as truth. She lived with the liar, the one who created the lies to cover himself and deceitfully destroy the one who was covering him. Carrying the shame and ridicule of a vicious lie, the pastor's wife was left alone, shattered, and bewildered. The pain, pressure, and plight of being ostracized by the church she labored in and its members she loved, prayed with, and prayed for was uncanny. The dirty looks for no reason, the church politics, and, most of all, the lies of her spouse, the pastor, threw her under the bus and crushed her. Questions poured out of her heart as she could not find any reasoning for the pure disgust that was being poured on her like gasoline, igniting a horror of intent to burn her alive. Deliberate, strategic lies circulated not only in the church but also in the small community where the church is located. Have you been there? Are you there now? I pray you never go there. Prayerfully, this written account of a torn heart will keep you safe and keep your heart from such grief. Experience the shameful hurt she endured, the loneliness she encountered, and the grief that tried to end her life. Experience the reasons she, the pastor's wife, stared at the wall for hours with tears flowing.

Artifacts & Illuminations
Author: Tom Lynch
Publisher: U of Nebraska Press
ISBN: 0803234031
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 361
Book Description
Loren Eiseley (1907?77) is one of the most important American nature writers of the twentieth century and an admired practitioner of creative nonfiction. A native of Lincoln, Nebraska, Eiseley was a professor of anthropology and a prolific writer and poet who worked to bring an understanding of science to the general public, incorporating religion, philosophy, and science into his explorations of the human mind and the passage of time. As a writer who bridged the sciences and the humanities, Eiseley is a challenge for scholars locked into rigid disciplinary boundaries. Artifacts and Illuminations, the first full-length collection of critical essays on the writing of Eiseley, situates his work in the genres of creative nonfiction and nature writing. The contributing scholars apply a variety of critical approaches, including ecocriticism and place-oriented studies ranging across prairie, urban, and international contexts. Contributors explore such diverse topics as Eiseley?s use of anthropomorphism and Jungian concepts and examine how his work was informed by synecdoche. Long overdue, this collection demonstrates Eiseley?s continuing relevance as both a skilled literary craftsman and a profound thinker about the human place in the natural world.
