  From historian-in-residence at the Presidential Pet Museum, Andrew Hager, comes a fond, fascinating, and often surprising look at the dogs who were the best friends of the presidents, featuring unforgettable photographs. 
   
  President Biden’s German shepherds, Major and the late Champ, are the latest in a long line of presidential dogs. Dating all the way back to George Washington, dogs have been constant companions to nearly all of America’s presidents. Of the past 46 presidents, 31 have had at least one dog at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. 
  Organized by historical eras, All-American Dogs will take readers through the captivating history of the White House’s four-legged friends, the impact they had on their owner-in-chiefs, and, ultimately, American history. From the assassination of President’s Lincoln’s dog after Lincoln’s own death to President’s Hoover’s Belgian shepherd, King Tut, who helped President Hoover win the election after appearing in a campaign photo, these furry members of the first family often had a lasting impact on the administrations that kept them. 
  As historian-in-residence at the Presidential Pet Museum, Andrew Hager will include original research and rare photographs from the National Archives to trace the history of America’s first dogs. From post-Revolutionary dogs, to Civil War era dogs, to Cold War dogs, Hager will show the differences and similarities of how our nation viewed man’s best friend. 
  Readers will learn not only past presidents’ dogs in each historical era, but also the cultural history of dogs as pets, and the ways in which Americans’ relationships with dogs has evolved over the past two centuries. 
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.

  Brazil's Economic Evolution -...

  Brazil's economic history is a dynamic and complex tale shaped by diverse influences, from colonial exploitation to modern-day challenges and opportunities. As the largest country in South America, Brazil’s economic evolution has mirrored its political, social, and cultural transformations. This journey began with its colonial era under Portuguese rule, which laid the foundation for Brazil’s agricultural-based economy. Over the centuries, Brazil shifted from a colony dependent on sugar and gold to a rapidly industrializing nation, emerging as an economic powerhouse in Latin America. 
  The early economic landscape of Brazil was heavily reliant on natural resources, particularly agriculture. The Portuguese established vast sugar plantations along Brazil’s northeastern coast, utilizing enslaved labor from Africa. This system of exploitation became the backbone of the Brazilian economy for centuries. Later, the discovery of gold in the 18th century led to a gold rush that contributed significantly to Brazil's wealth, though it also exacerbated regional disparities and social inequalities. 
  As the 19th century unfolded, Brazil transitioned into an empire, and its economic structure shifted once again. Coffee became the dominant export, driving the expansion of the country’s agricultural economy. The development of railways and the establishment of coffee plantations in the southeastern regions played a critical role in consolidating Brazil’s position as a major global supplier. However, this period of growth was also marked by profound social and economic inequalities, particularly in the form of slavery, which continued until its abolition in 1888.

  Are you getting enough? Bestselling travel writer Ben Aitken wasn't.
  
  
  Increasingly flat and decreasingly zen, Ben gave boredom the boot and stress the cold shoulder by embarking on a whimsical journey into the serious business of having a laugh.
  
  
  He did a pilgrimage in Spain, a summer camp in Kent, and a cruise of the Baltic with 2,000 grannies. And when he wasn't on the road, he searched for merriment at home: by giving bridge a go, volunteering a chance, and gardening a crack of the whip.
  
  
  By incorporating the thoughts of key thinkers and boffins, Here Comes the Fun offers a satisfying balance of the playful and the profound, the serious and the silly, the daft and the deep.
