Hot dogs, and the ways we enjoy them, are part of the American dream. Man Bites Dog celebrates the power of the hot dog through a historical survey and profiles of notable hot dog purveyors.

    Beekeeping Guide for Profit 
    Are you curious about starting your own beekeeping business? Whether you're seeking a new hobby or a rewarding source of side income, this guide is the perfect introduction to the world of beekeeping. 
    If you're just starting out, it’s best to begin with one or two hives. As your confidence and skills grow, you can gradually expand—adding more hives each season. Managing fewer than five hives at first keeps the learning curve manageable and ensures inspections won’t take up all your time. 
    Beekeeping is more than just harvesting honey. It’s a fulfilling lifestyle that connects you with nature, supports the environment, and offers full control over your work. Beekeepers enjoy the independence of being their own bosses—making decisions, building and maintaining equipment, and contributing to a healthier ecosystem. 
    So, why keep bees? While honey is the most well-known reward, bees also produce valuable byproducts such as beeswax, propolis, and royal jelly. Beyond these products, your bees play a crucial role in pollination—boosting the health of local plants, gardens, and wildlife. 
    Start your beekeeping journey today and tap into a natural, eco-friendly, and potentially profitable venture!

    I first met Jan in Malaysia in the summer of 2023, and I was immediately struck by his earnestness and sincerity. He was simultaneously down to earth and thoughtful - a most intriguing blend. This shines through in his writing.  
    This is the first book written by Jan that I've read, and I must admit I have found it mesmerizing. His writing style captures the reader's attention and draws him into a deep analysis of life's journey.  
    Anybody who reads this wonderful book can be assured of one thing - you'll think deeply about the meaning of life.

    The real guide to pregnancy, birth and beyond. 
    I’m assuming you’ve picked up this book because you’re either curious about having kids, you’re currently up the duff, or you’re stumbling through the early days of parenthood with a mattress-sized sanitary towel between your legs wondering what the hell has just happened. That, or you’re killing time in WHSmith, waiting for your flight to Ibiza. You lucky bastard. 
    Either way, this book is your pregnancy, birth and postpartum BFF. 
    Welcome to Motherhood, Bitches is your one-stop, no-filter guide to everything from swollen vulvas and dinner-plate areolas; from shitting in labour to the horror of postpartum haemorrhoids; from mindless sleep deprivation to salvaging a sex life when your pelvic floor has hit the floor. But mainly, it’s a reassuring reminder that feeling slightly (or shockingly) out of control with a newborn baby human is entirely normal…we promise. 
    Victoria Emes, in her best-selling autobiography, shares her experiences of childbirth, parenting, and the impact on her marriage. With humour and care, she navigates the reader through the realities of family life and the importance of maintaining health and fitness.
