Between Pets and People
Author: Alan M. Beck
Publisher: Purdue University Press
ISBN: 9781557530776
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 342
Book Description
Since the first edition of Between Pets and People in 1983, the authors' then-startling contention that pets benefit our mental and physical health has found wide acceptance. Evidence in our daily lives - in television pet food ads, in doctor's offices outfitted with aquaria - attests to how widely the belief in pets' therapeutic influence is now held. This revised edition of Between Pets and People, with additional data and case studies and expanded references - including a listing of Internet resources - and a foreword by Elizabeth Marshall Thomas, analyzes the surprisingly complex relationships we have with our pets. This book contains an important lesson for everyone - to accept ourselves and others in the uncritical way that pets accept us, and come to terms with our own animal nature.

WEB TEXT Born and raised in Lesotho, a small country completely surrounded by the Republic of South Africa, as a teenager, Lerato enjoyed poetry and short-story writing as a pass time. Now residing in the Republic of Ireland, she has finally decided to follow this passion and write fulltime. This is Leratos second book and she hopes to write many more. A peak into the lads lives . . . Henk opened his window and poked his head out, Morning, children. Hey, Hanky-panky, come and meet your grandson, Jordan shouted. My what? Your grandson, boy! Henk went to the kitchen and made himself a cup of coffee. Hey, horse-shit, come and tidy up this mess, he yelled at Clinton. Walking past the lounge he noticed something, You slept in the lounge again? What the hell is wrong with your room, man? Henk lifted the blanket off the couch. Jesus Christ! What happened here? He jumped back, spilling the hot coffee on his thighs. Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! He placed the half-empty cup on the table. Jordan, where did this blood come from? Jordan was on his back, puffing away. He casually lifted up his leg to show Henk the wound. Henk strode over to him and yanked his joint out of his hand. He threw it on the ground and stamped on it. Get up! What? Get up, shit-head. Now! He gave him a good kick in the ribs. Jordan got up and limped backwards. Get in there and get cleaned up! What the fuck for? Im not going anywhere. Oh, yes, you are going somewhere; to the doctor. And you pee-head, he waved his finger at Clinton. You are going with him. If, when I come back from my lesson, you are still here Im calling the police. Im sure they will find valuables in your room. I cant go with the idiot. Whos going to look after Missile? Whos Missile? Your grandson, bru. He pointed at Missile, who was now lying under a big tomato plant, for shade. Henk looked at the dog, shook his head and went back into the house. *** At the hospital, the wound on Jordans leg was cleaned stitched and dressed. A couple of deep scratches on his hands also had to be stitched. It was when the doctor told him he would have to be kept overnight, that he realised the seriousness of the whole thing. Tests would have to be done to check if the dog had rabies. Problem, Jordan said between clenched teeth. What? Sshh. Problem, man. Problem! What problem? Jammies, mate. Jammies. What the hell are you talking about? You know . . . Thats it; youve lost your mind. I am calling the nurse, the dog has rabies. He raised his hand and beckoned to a nurse. Jordan stamped on his foot. Ouch! What the fook did you do that for? Pyjamas, toadstool! I do not have pyjamas. Why the hell did you not say that in the first place? I forget you are slow. Forgive me. I could kill for a joint. Jordan spat on the floor and rubbed it with his shoe. Clinton slapped him on the head. You cant do that, you bloody pig! So, what are we going to do about my problem? Whats this we business? You are the one with a problem, not me! Anyway, what happened to your pyjamas? Ive never had pyjamas. I sleep commando that is if Im not too hammered to take my clothes off. Come on, mate. Do the brother a solid. Cant you . . . Forget it, man. Im not doing you any solid. You are not having mine! You can sleep commando. No one is going to give a fook! Stop saying fook, you retard! You are drawing attention. Speak properly. They shouldnt be listening to our conversation. Besides . . . They have no choice. You are howling, dog. Jordan scratched his head and cleared his throat, so, what do you say, man? I mean, I dont have a problem sleeping commando. But you know what a disruption that would cause. What? Jordan gestured to his crotch with his eyes, you know what I mean? he said, with a hint of pride. Clinton put his hands in his pockets and shrugged his shoulders, so what? You have a big member . . .

The Awakened Woman
Author: Tererai Trent
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1501145681
Category : Self-Help
Languages : en
Pages : 269
Book Description
Winner of a 2017 NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literary Work, this moving manifesto “empowers women to access a fearlessness that will enable community progress” (Essence). Through one incredible woman’s journey from a small Zimbabwe village to becoming one of the world’s most recognizable voices in women’s empowerment and education, this book “can help any woman achieve her full potential” (Kirkus Reviews). Before Tererai Trent landed on Oprah’s stage as her “favorite guest of all time,” she was a woman with a forgotten dream. As a young girl in a cattle-herding village in Zimbabwe, she dreamed of receiving an education but instead was married young and by eighteen, without a high school graduation, she was already a mother of three. Tererai encountered a visiting American woman who assured her that anything was possible, reawakening her sacred dream. Tererai planted her dreams deep in the earth and prayed they would grow. They did, and now not only has she earned her PhD but she has also built schools for girls in Zimbabwe, with funding from Oprah. The Awakened Woman: A Guide for Remembering & Igniting Your Sacred Dreams is her accessible, intimate, and evocative guide that teaches nine essential lessons to encourage all women to reexamine their dreams and uncover the power hidden within them—power that can recreate our world for the better. Tererai points out that there is a massive, untapped, global resource in women who have, for one reason or another, set aside their wisdom, their skills, and their dreams in order to take care of the personal business of their lives. Not only is this a type of invisible suffering experienced by countless women, this rich resource is a secret weapon for improving our world. Women have the capacity to inspire, to create, to transform—and Tererai’s call to action “shines as a beacon of hope to women everywhere” (Danica McKellar, actress and New York Times bestselling author).
