Book Description
'The Labrador Theory', Cheever Hardwick's wonderfully revealing study of all things similar between Man and Dog, from the eagerness of the young pup; sporting prowess on the shooting field; personal habits; amorousness and a healthy appetite to the inevitable slide towards middle-aged spread. All brilliantly illustrated with Alasdair Hilleary's hilarious cartoons, you will be taken on a crash course on the nature and nurture of Labradors, demonstrating just how similar and integral they are to our own human development. AUTHOR: Cheever Hardwick, born in New York City, graduated from Washington and Lee University, Virginia, with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Journalism and later received a Doctor of Jurisprudence from the University of Colorado Law School. He spent a great deal of his teenage years travelling in Europe and his working life almost entirely in South America and Mexico. Now retired, he spends his time between Wiltshire and the Algarve, usually surrounded by various dogs, cats, sheep, chickens and, even sometimes, pigs. His main interests are golf and shooting. Alasdair Hilleary's cartooning developed itself in the back row of the classroom at Gordonstoun, the school where he also received the only formal training for painting that he ever had, and to all intents and purposes what he creates now is self-taught. Ideas and images for cartoons stem from personal experience, aiming to create an attractive and colourful painting with humorous content. SELLING POINTS: A truly hilarious book likening men in their middle years to well-fed Labradors Will appeal to both male and female as a tongue-in-cheek look at modern-day relationships Full of entertaining snippets on how the male psyche works A superb gift for anyone with a sense of humour Cartoon illustations

Book Description
Combat Black Dog Syndrome worldwide; a portion of all proceeds from Black Dog Project will be donated to black dog rescue. One of Tumblr's most viral blogs of 2014, the Black Dogs Project is a stunning photo series by animal photographer Fred Levy. Known as "Black Dog Syndrome" in animal shelters and rescues, it refers to the unfortunate phenomenon that black dogs are frequently the LAST dogs to be adopted and the FIRST dogs to be euthanized in rescue shelters. Animal photographer Fred Levy couldn't believe that it was true, so he began talking with shelters. Not only does the phenomen exist, but he discovered it's an epidemic. Levy decided to turn his camera lens to black dogs, showing the world how beautiful they truly are. He called the photo series, The Black Dogs Project, and the stunning photographs have been shared worldwide, spreading awareness and attention to the problem.

Theory and Method of Fisheries Forecasting
Author: Xinjun Chen
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 9811929564
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
This book systematically introduces the knowledge system and research results of fisheries forecasting. It is divided into four parts and seven chapters. The first part is the introduction, which mainly introduces the basic concepts, the nature of the subject, and the research contents, as well as the current status of research. The second part is about the basic knowledge of fisheries forecasting, including overview of the world marine environment, fish shoaling and migration distribution, the relationship between fish behavior and marine environment, and the basic theory of forming fishing ground. The third part is the focus of this book, including the basic principles and methods of fisheries forecasting, as well as the application of new techniques and methods in fisheries forecasting. The fourth part is the comprehensive application of fisheries forecasting, including the general situation of world marine fisheries, the impact of global marine environment changes on fisheries resources and fishing ground, and case studying of fisheries forecasting of important economic species, such as oceanic squid, jack mackerel, anchovy, and skipjack. The study of this book will help everyone to master the basic principles and methods of fisheries forecasting, as well as the application of new technologies and methods in important economic species, and lay a foundation for future work in the field of marine fisheries.

Renegotiating Ethics in Literature, Philosophy, and Theory
Author: Jane Adamson
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521629386
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
Is it possible for postmodernism to offer viable, coherent accounts of ethics? Or are our social and intellectual worlds too fragmented for any broad consensus about the moral life? These issues have emerged as some of the most contentious in literary and philosophical studies. In Renegotiating Ethics in Literature, Philosophy, and Theory a distinguished international gathering of philosophers and literary scholars address the reconceptualisations involved in this 'turn towards ethics'. An important feature of this has been a renewed interest in the literary text as a focus for the exploration of ethical issues. Exponents of this trend include Charles Taylor, Bernard Williams, Iris Murdoch, Cora Diamond, Richard Rorty and Martha Nussbaum, the latter a contributor and a key figure in this volume. This book assesses the significance of this development for ethical and literary theory and attempts to articulate an alternative postmodern account of ethics which does not rely on earlier appeals to universal truths.

Chill, A Reassessment of Global Warming Theory
Author: Peter Taylor
Publisher: CLAIRVIEW BOOKS
ISBN: 1905570570
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 415
Book Description
Although the world’s climate has undergone many cyclical changes, the phrase ‘climate change’ has taken on a sinister meaning, implying catastrophe for humanity, ecology and the environment. We are told that we are responsible for this threat, and that we should act immediately to prevent it. But the apparent scientific consensus over the causes and effects of climate change is not what it appears. Chill is a critical survey of the subject by a committed environmentalist and scientist. Based on extensive research, it reveals a disturbing collusion of interests responsible for creating a distorted understanding of changes in global climate. Scientific institutions, basing their work on critically flawed computer simulations and models, have gained influence and funding. In return they have allowed themselves to be directed by the needs of politicians and lobbyists for simple answers, slogans and targets. The resulting policy - a 60% reduction of greenhouse-gas emissions by 2050 - would have a huge, almost unimaginable, impact upon landscape, community and biodiversity. On the basis of his studies of satellite data, cloud cover, ocean and solar cycles, Peter Taylor concludes that the main driver of recent global warming has been an unprecedented combination of natural events. His investigations indicate that the current threat facing humanity is a period of global cooling, comparable in severity to the Little Ice Age of 1400-1700 AD. The risks of such cooling are potentially greater than global warming and on a more immediate time scale, with the possibility of failing harvests leaving hundreds of millions vulnerable to famine. Drawing on his experience of energy policy and sustainability, Taylor suggests practical steps that should be taken now. He urges a shift away from mistaken policies that attempt to avert inevitable natural changes, to an adaptation to a climate that is likely overall to turn significantly cooler.
