The Way Back
Something ravenous lurks in a Mississippi swamp. When twelve-year-old Jake Kelly sees his father attacked by a rogue alligator, he becomes obsessed with hunting the beast down. To help in his quest, Jake enlists the aid of his friend, Buck Miller, and a reclusive outcast named Abe Garner. But Jake soon learns there’s more to the old hermit than anyone knows. And once trapped in the swamp, the boys discover the creature they seek isn’t the monster they thought it was... It’s something much worse. When hope is lost, faith will find the way back.
Pet Politics
Although scholars in the disciplines of law, psychology, philosophy, and sociology have published a considerable number of prescriptive, normative, and theoretical studies of animals in society, Pet Politics presents the first study of the development of companion animal or pet law and policy in Canada and the United States by political scientists. The authors examine how people and governments classify three species of pets or companion animals-cats, dogs, and horses-for various degrees of legal protection. They then detail how interest groups shape the agenda for companion animal legislation and regulation, and the legislative and administrative formulation of anticruelty, kennel licensing...
Multimedia Semantics
In this book, the authors present the latest research results in the multimedia and semantic web communities, bridging the "Semantic Gap" This book explains, collects and reports on the latest research results that aim at narrowing the so-called multimedia "Semantic Gap": the large disparity between descriptions of multimedia content that can be computed automatically, and the richness and subjectivity of semantics in user queries and human interpretations of audiovisual media. Addressing the grand challenge posed by the "Semantic Gap" requires a multi-disciplinary approach (computer science, computer vision and signal processing, cognitive science, web science, etc.) and this is reflected i...
The Eve of Destruction
As I mingled among my fellow graduates, my view of the future did not extend much beyond the following day, when I would be heading to the beach. College in the fall was too far in the future to contemplate now. The only days that held relevance were the next ninety-nine, which would fashion what I hoped to be my best summer yet. So begins The Eve of Destruction, David Dickey's coming-of-age tale about the summer of 1965, a tranquil time when the country rested unwittingly on the brink of a cultural revolution. Follow eighteen-year-old Dane, Woody, and the crew around their Southern California neighborhoods as they experience the ups and downs of friendship and young love, and wrestle with some of life's basal choices. Join them on misadventures and general teenage mischief as they seek revelry and endure summer jobs. With music, cars, and popular culture of the decade woven into the backdrop, The Eve of Destruction is a nostalgic story about the 1960's and a worthy ode to the Boomer generation.
The Dogist
When Friedman moved to New York City, he missed the dogs that had surrounded him growing up. He began photographing dogs on the street, and posting them on his blog, The Dogist. Whether because of the look in a dog's eyes, its innate beauty, or even the clothes its owner has dressed it in, every portrait in this book tells a story and explores the dog's distinct character and spirit.

Summary of Patricia B. McConnell's The Other End of the Leash
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The same impact of subtle movements underlies each and every one of your interactions with your dog. Dogs are brilliant at perceiving minute changes in our bodies and assume each tiny motion has meaning. Small movements that you make have huge consequences in your dog’s behavior. #2 Dogs are highly visual, and they are always watching us for the slightest movements that they use to communicate with one another. We must pay attention to how we move around our dogs, and how they move around us, since this is how they communicate with us. #3 The researchers tested whether dogs paid more attention to sound or vision when learning a simple exercise. They taught twenty-four six-and-a-half-week-old puppies to sit to both a sound and a motion. The puppies either saw the trainer’s hand move or heard the beeplike sit signal. #4 We humans often miss the signals that our dogs are sending us. For example, we might praise our dogs for giving us a ball back, when in reality, they just want the ball. We should pay attention to the visual signals our dogs send us.
