  Many people make the mistake of training their puppies the wrong way, or even don’t make a conscious effort to train them at all.

But there is a way to solve them by learning how to raise your puppy properly and in a positive way. 
  It’s not your dog’s fault. If you treat the root causes of behavioral issues rather than the symptoms, you can teach your dog much faster without the use of punishment or stress.  
  In this guide you will learn:Why “getting dominance” over your dog is a bad ideaWhy a dog’s natural pack instincts are the key to a happy relationshipWhy what your dog really needs may not be what you’re giving himHow to choose a dog who’s right for you and your familyTricks you didn’t even know a dog could learnThe real difference between discipline and punishmentHow “rough and tumble primate play” can lead to trouble and how to play with your dog in ways that are fun and keep him out of troubleHow dogs reflect the personality of their owner and why most dogs want to live with benevolent leaders rather than wanna-be alphasThe importance of observing and understanding your dog’s body language and how to react appropriatelyHow to deal with common health problems and bad behavior

  Published in 1873 in New York, The New Housekeeper’s Manual was written by Catharine Esther Beecher and her sister Harriet Beecher Stowe, two of the most influential women writers and activists of their time. Both women exerted profound influence on American letters and on the shape of American domestic life and educational reform. The book combines two works by the sisters in one volume. The American Woman’s Home: Or Principles of Domestic Science describes kitchen and home design, coping with kitchen appliances and newly invented gadgets, cooking healthful food and drink, caring for the sick with medical recipes, and gardening with plants and domestic animals. The Handy Cook-Book is a “complete, condensed guide to wholesome, economical, and delicious cooking with nearly 500 choice and tested recipes.” The authors assert that their extensive manual was designed specifically for middle-class housewives, versus others written for women with money and servants. It includes housekeeping information and dishes for every occasion that the practical-minded housewife might need. The New Housekeeper’s Manual was well received and had over 25 printings in 25 years.  This edition of The New Housekeeper’s Manual was reproduced by permission from the volume in the collection of the American Antiquarian Society, Worcester, Massachusetts. Founded in 1812 by Isaiah Thomas, a Revolutionary War patriot and successful printer and publisher, the Society is a research library documenting the life of Americans from the colonial era through 1876. The Society collects, preserves, and makes available as complete a record as possible of the printed materials from the early American experience. The cookbook collection includes approximately 1,100 volumes

  Marooned in LA by the pandemic, a marine biologist rediscovers the delights and wonders of the natural world in her own backyard.Conservationist and marine biologist Maddalena Bearzi made her career studying the wild creatures of the deep, but when COVID-19 made landfall on the California coast this seafaring scientist found herself shuttered up ashore, her wide blue world constricted by pandemic lockdown. Never good at sitting idle, she despaired at the confines of her Los Angeles flat—until she began to find wonder in the wilderness of her own backyard.Stranded charts Bearzi's discovery of both rapture and resilience in the unsung wildlife of urban LA. With a green thumb and a canine sidekick, she finds as much to marvel at in her garden's singing blackbirds, night-blooming cacti, and industrious wasps as in the whales, dolphins, and sea lions at the center of her maritime adventures. Discovering in the quotidian an antidote to the grief occasioned by captivity and climate chaos, Bearzi reveals how each of us can take heart, find courage, and discover inspiration in the thrumming systems of life that surround us. With a scientist's precision and a poet's instinct, she invites us to look at, listen to, and revel in the everyday grandeur of the natural world—and to embrace, with urgency, our responsibility to sustain it.
