Summary

Dog Breeding – A Handbook for a Responsible Breeder is a framework that proposes some of the latest scientific findings, techniques and information in dog breeding. It summarizes research and studies regarding dog genetics, bitch mating and the birthing of puppies and their subsequent care.

Much of the information found online is written by non-specialists which causes the spread of inaccurate or misleading information which can prove to have grave consequences for breeders and their dogs.  Moreover, this handbook’s objective is to provide dynamic approaches to the field of dog breeding, and all the information contained within should carefully be considered while evaluating the most effective techniques and practices in dog breeding.  Pairing the research and information within this handbook with the love and attention of the breeder, it’s hoped that potential breeders make informed, well thought out decisions in the best interest of their dogs and for more optimal results. 

Evžen Korec, MSc., Ph.D., is a director and head of the research group at the Tabor Zoo. He is the owner of the Korec Corso Kennel, where he breeds dogs of the Cane Corso breed, as well as acting as the chairman of the Cane Corso club Czech Republic.
He graduated in Molecular Biology and Genetics from the Faculty of Science at Charles University. He worked as a researcher at the Institute of Molecular Genetics of the Czechoslovak Academy of Science, where he received a Ph.D. in Oncology. He has done research at top European institutes such as at the University of Göttingen in Germany and at the Pasteur institute in Paris.
He is a co-author of 11 patents and several dozen research articles published in the world’s leading scientific journals. Plus, he is a co-author of seven books.

  • Unsettled - What Climate Science Tells Us What It Doesn't and Why It Matters Updated and Expanded Edition - cover

    In this updated and expanded edition of climate scientist Steven Koonin’s groundbreaking book, go behind the headlines to discover the latest eye-opening data about climate change—with unbiased facts and realistic steps for the future. 
     
    “Greenland’s ice loss is accelerating.” 
    “Extreme temperatures are causing more fatalities.” 
    “Rapid ‘climate action’ is essential to avoid a future climate disaster.” 
     
    You’ve heard all this presented as fact. But according to science, all of these statements are profoundly misleading. 
     
    With the new edition of Unsettled, Steven Koonin draws on decades of experience—including as a top science advisor to the Obama administration—to clear away the fog and explain what science really says (and doesn’t say). With a new introduction, this edition now features reflections on an additional three years of eye-opening data, alternatives to unrealistic “net zero” solutions, global energy inequalities, and the energy crisis arising from the war in Ukraine. 
     
    When it comes to climate change, the media, politicians, and other prominent voices have declared that “the science is settled.” In reality, the climate is changing, but the why and how aren’t as clear as you’ve probably been led to believe. 
     
    Koonin takes readers behind the headlines, dispels popular myths, and unveils little-known truths: 
    • Despite rising greenhouse gas emissions, global temperatures decreased from 1940 to 1970 
    • Models currently used to predict the future do not accurately describe the climate of the past, and modelers themselves strongly doubt their regional predictions 
    • There is no compelling evidence that hurricanes are becoming more frequent—or that predictions of rapid sea level rise have any validity 
     
    Unsettled is a reality check buoyed by hope, offering the truth about climate science—what we know, what we don’t, and what it all means for our future.

    Big Data Analytics is revolutionizing the way businesses, governments, and organizations operate. In an age where data is generated at an unprecedented scale, analyzing and interpreting this information has become crucial for making informed decisions. Big Data Analytics refers to the process of examining vast and complex data sets to uncover patterns, trends, correlations, and insights that can drive strategic actions. 
    The significance of Big Data Analytics lies in its ability to transform raw data into valuable information. Organizations across various industries—such as healthcare, finance, retail, and technology—leverage analytics to enhance efficiency, improve customer experiences, and gain a competitive edge. Traditional data processing methods are often inadequate for handling the volume, velocity, and variety of data generated today. As a result, businesses rely on advanced analytical techniques, machine learning algorithms, and specialized tools to process and interpret their data effectively. 
    One of the primary roles of Big Data Analytics is supporting decision-making processes. By analyzing large datasets, organizations can identify emerging trends, detect anomalies, and make data-driven predictions. For example, e-commerce platforms analyze customer behavior to recommend products tailored to individual preferences, while financial institutions use predictive analytics to assess credit risks and detect fraudulent activities. Similarly, in the healthcare industry, patient data is analyzed to predict disease outbreaks, optimize treatment plans, and improve overall patient care.

    Discover The Second Brain: AI and the Human Right to Intelligence, a groundbreaking audiobook by author and narrator G S Steele, published by Audiobook Publishing Services. In a world where artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming every aspect of life, this thought-provoking work argues that access to AI should be a fundamental human right. 
    As the divide between those who control advanced technology and those left behind grows, The Second Brain exposes the risks of AI monopolization, warning against its potential to become a tool of exploitation rather than empowerment. Drawing on historical examples of technological inequality, G S Steele reveals how societies have long been divided by access to knowledge and power. 
    With AI now acting as a "second brain," capable of enhancing human intelligence beyond natural limits, the stakes have never been higher. This visionary audiobook explores how equitable access to AI could liberate individuals, offering a pathway to global intelligence that transcends economic, social, and political barriers. 
    Narrated by the author himself, G S Steele, this compelling audiobook challenges listeners to envision a future where intelligence is not a privilege of the elite but a right for all. The Second Brain is a call to action, providing a bold framework for harnessing AI's potential to uplift humanity and create a just, equitable future. 
    Perfect for fans of AI ethics, technology, and social justice, this audiobook is a must-listen for anyone passionate about the future of intelligence and equality. Published by Audiobook Publishing Services, The Second Brain is your guide to understanding why the right to intelligence is essential for a fair and empowered world.

    Not long ago, it was thought that the brain you were born with was the brain you would die with, and that the brain cells you had at birth were the most you would ever possess. Your brain was thought to be hardwired to function in predetermined ways. It turns out that's not true. Your brain is not hardwired; it's "softwired" by experience. This book shows you how you can rewire parts of the brain to feel more positive about your life, remain calm during stressful times, and improve your social relationships. 
     
     
     
    Written by a leader in the field of Brain-Based Therapy, it teaches you how to activate the parts of your brain that have been underactivated and calm down those areas that have been hyperactivated, so that you feel positive about your life and remain calm during stressful times. You will also learn to improve your memory, boost your mood, have better relationships, and get a good night's sleep. 
     
     
     
    Rewire Your Brain reveals how cutting-edge developments in neuroscience and evidence-based practices can be used to improve your everyday life. Explaining exciting new developments in neuroscience and their applications to daily living, this audiobook will guide you through the process of changing your brain so you can change your life and be free of self-imposed limitations.

    The Petroleum Papers - Inside...

    Burning fossil fuels will cause catastrophic global warming: this is what top American oil executives were told by scientists in 1959. But they ignored that warning. Instead, they developed one of the biggest, most polluting oil sources in the world—the oil sands in Alberta, Canada. As investigative journalist Geoff Dembicki reveals in this explosive book, the decades-long conspiracy to keep the oil sands flowing into the US would turn out to be one of the biggest reasons for the world's failure to stop the climate crisis. 
     
     
     
    In The Petroleum Papers, Dembicki draws from confidential oil industry documents to uncover for the first time how companies like Exxon, Koch Industries, and Shell built a global right-wing echo chamber to protect oil sands profits—a misinformation campaign that continues to this day. He also tells the high-stakes stories of people fighting back: a Seattle lawyer who brought down Big Tobacco and is now going after Big Oil, a Filipina activist whose family drowned in a climate disaster, and a former Exxon engineer pushed out for asking hard questions. 
     
     
     
    With experts now warning we have less than a decade to get global emissions under control, The Petroleum Papers provides a step-by-step account of how we got to this precipice—and the politicians and companies who deserve our blame.
