Pages : 289
Book Description
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.

NL Snowmageddon 2020
Author: Nick Cranford

Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 130
Book Description
On January 17, 2020, Newfoundland and Labrador experienced one of the worst blizzards in its history. Life came to a screeching halt. Entire roads and cars were buried, people became trapped in their homes, and a week-long state of emergency was just one more surprise Mother Nature had in store for the people of the province. The record-breaking snowstorm, which the media labelled "Snowmageddon," came to test the resilience of Newfoundland. But as you will see throughout this book, Newfoundlanders are made of sterner stuff. What makes a Newfoundlander? Newfoundlanders themselves are sometimes hard pressed to provide an explanation. But NL Snowmageddon 2020 gives us the answer once and for all. "On January 17, the City of St. John"s experienced an unprecedented storm. The snowfall that week left us with no choice but to declare a state of emergency, the city's first in thirty-four years. The week following was very challenging for residents and business owners in St. John's, with travel prohibited, then restricted, before the state of emergency could be lifted more than a week later. City snow clearing crews put in tremendous hours and effort to get our roadways clear and were supported in that work by municipalities from across the province, the provincial government, and private contractors. Our Armed Forces came to the aid of our more vulnerable, offering snow shovelling support, and the community rallied together to ensure that those in need had food and supplies as the days of the storm wore on. "I saw this city I call home in its worst state, certainly in my memory, but I also saw this city at its best during Snowmageddon--neighbours helping neighbours, communities playing in the snow, people advocating for the most needy. As mayor, I will forever be grateful for the extraordinary efforts of our staff during this significant event, those who came to our aid, and most of all to the residents and business owners for their resilience and strength." -- Danny Breen, Mayor of St. John"s "Snowmageddon 2020 will go down as one of the biggest weather events we've experienced in Newfoundland in many years, certainly a reminder of the power of Mother Nature. I would like to focus on the amazing display of humanity and kindness that I witnessed throughout this whole ordeal. It was truly remarkable. With its many stories of camaraderie, resilience, and indomitable human spirit, Snowmageddon 2020 truly brought out the best in people and renewed my faith in humanity." -- Paul Lane, Member of the House of Assembly, Mount Pearl-Southlands

Patterns of India
Author: Christine Chitnis
Publisher: Clarkson Potter
ISBN: 0525577092
Category : Photography
Languages : en
Pages : 290
Book Description
It’s the trip of a lifetime—a textile-based tour of colorful Rajasthan, India featuring more than 200 lush photographs depicting everyday life in one of the most vibrant regions in the world. ”Get lost in the beauty of the photographs in Patterns of India, a striking journey through the colorful Indian state of Rajasthan.”—BuzzFeed Patterns of India is a visual experience that offers intimate insights into the diverse and richly hued Western Indian culture. Color is the thread that binds the vast country together, defining every aspect of life from religion and politics to food and dress. Organized by the five dominant colors royal blue, sandstone, marigold, ivory, and rose, this book explores how deeply color and pattern exist in a symbiotic relationship and are woven into every part of the culture. For instance, the fuchsia found in the draping fabric of a sari is matched by the vibrant chains of roses offered at temple, and the burnt orange spices in the marketplaces are reflected in the henna tattoos given to brides and wedding guests. While every color is imbued with meaning, it is often within the details of patterns that the full story comes to light. Photographer and writer Christine Chitnis spent over a decade traveling through, getting to know, and falling in love with the intricate patterns of everyday Rajasthani life. With history and culture-based essays woven throughout the more than 200 stunning photographs of architecture, markets, cuisine, art, textiles, and everyday goings-on, Patterns of India captures the beauty and essence of this unique part of the world.
