Languages : en
Pages : 140
Book Description
'We live in a world populated by dog lovers, where many of us regard them as members of the family. We are fascinated by them: either anthropomorphising our pets or obsessing about the ways they differ from us. And mountains – theatres of risk, drama and heroism – provide the perfect stage for us to enact our canine fascination in all its pathos and poetry. In short, the hills bring into focus just how much we love being with dogs.' Dogs specialise in getting on with humans, and tales of faithful hounds in hostile environments form part of our cultural history. Award-winning writer Helen Mort sets out to understand the singular relationship between dogs, mountains and the people who love them. Along the way, she meets search and rescue dogs, interviews climbers and spends time on the hills with hounds. The book is also a personal memoir, telling the author's own story of falling in love with a whippet called Bell during a transformative year in the Lake District. Never Leave the Dog Behind is a compelling account of mountain adventures and misadventures, and captures the unbridled joy of heading to the hills with a four-legged friend.

Pages : 397
Book Description
“I’m so glad this book was written! It offers extraordinarily wise and practical support for sacredness and commitment in relationships—something we desperately need in these times.”—Jack Kornfield, author of A Path with Heart What is the key to a successful, long-lasting relationship? It all begins with a simple promise. . . I will never leave you. While most books on relationships tell you why you should leave your partner, here is a refreshing look at the enormous gains that can come from staying. For more than twenty years, Hugh and Gayle Prather have been helping couples build satisfying, permanent, spiritually centered relationships. Based on their experience as counselors and the problems they’ve solved in their own long marriage, their book shares a message that dares to stand up against the tide of cop-outs and easy answers from most self-proclaimed relationship experts. In this groundbreaking work, the Prathers guide you through the eight “mindsets” of permanent relationships and give you the strategies you need to solve the specific difficulties most couples face. They speak frankly and very personally about some of the toughest tests of relationships—including infidelity, financial crises, and blended families. Filled with wit, wisdom, and compassion, I Will Never Leave You is a well-needed tonic for overcoming the epidemic popularity of “separation psychology” and instead building lasting, mature, mutually fulfilling relationships that stand the toughest challenge of all: real life.

"This sapphic horror-thriller debut is something special." - C.L. HERMAN, New York Times bestselling author of All of Us Villains I know better than anyone that death isn't the end. Not for Alana and I. Not even close... Eighteen-year-old Maya has always known the rules for banishing ghosts - but she never imagined she'd be banishing the ghost of her ex-girlfriend. After years of emotional abuse, Maya finally finds the courage to break up with Alana, stranding her on the remote trail where they'd been hiking. Seeking space, Maya flees her Los Angeles hometown for her older sister's lake house. The sleepy small town of Lake Ember feels like the perfect place to heal; at least, until Alana turns up dead right on her doorstep. Desperate to come back to life, Alana's ghost blackmails Maya: if Maya doesn't help her possess a girl in town, Alana will frame Maya for her murder. Even more complicated, Maya finds herself falling for Alana's target: Rowan, the girl whose life she has endangered. Maya must now face the ultimate decision. Will she forgive Alana and help bring her back to life? Or can she face her fears and banish her ex forever?
