  Warning! Do not read this book if you want to be a dog whisperer… 
  Does your dog really love you? Or, like many owners, is your dog only your best friend when you are cuddling on the couch? 
  When you step outside your front door, is he more interested in every passing dog, bird or half-eaten bag of chips that you come across? 
  Does the mere thought of letting your dog off lead get your heart racing with panic? 
  Well that’s how I used to feel, until I discovered how to control - and train - my dog using play. Now I enjoy stress-free walks wherever I take him. I couldn’t find a book that would help, so I wrote this one so that you can discover it too. 
  When you have finished this book, you will know: 
  • Why your dog does all those highly annoying things he does - and how you can stop him. It’s not your dog’s fault but you can quickly improve any situation by following the lessons I teach. 
  • How to find your dog’s Kryptonite. This is the thing that will help you transform your naughty pooch into a delightful dog that is the envy of other dog owners. 
  • Where the best place is to train your dog, so you can quickly eliminate bad habits, and avoid the frustration and guilt you feel when you are telling-off your dog all the time. 
  • Who is the best person to help you improve your dog’s bad habits (Hint he is standing in your shoes and reading this description right now). 
  • What you can do today to go from being an invisible owner to your dog’s superhero. And why you don’t need a degree in canine psychology or a masters in woo woo wolf theory to do it! 
  This is a complete, no BS guide to how I went from hapless dog walker to successful trainer. I promise this book will give you the roadmap and confidence you need to train your own dog and have him following you around the park like the Pied Piper, in just six weeks.

  Ultimate Spitfires

  A look at the development and flight testing of the Griffon-powered Spitfires and Seafires, along with an operational history both during and after WWII. 
   
  The Spitfire is probably Britain’s best loved and admired airplane. It is also revered around the world. This book looks at the later marques that were modified for various special tasks and differed to a large degree from Supermarine’s first early versions that saw action in the early days of World War II. New and more powerful Rolls-Royce engines replaced the well-tried Merlin, but increased the aircrafts performance in terms of speed and operational altitude. Subtle changes to wing design also increased the maneuverability and capability of these spectacular models that survived in the operational role until superseded by the introduction of jet-powered flight. 
   
  The content explains the design details, development and flight testing of twelve models and also contains their operational roles and history. Lengthy appendices will include Griffon-powered Spitfire aces, V1 rocket destruction aces, Griffon-powered Spitfire losses and where the survivors can be found. 
   
  “If you have an interest in the design, development and combat history of the Spitfire, this publication will be of great interest and make a fine addition to your library. Recommended for the Spitfire enthusiast.” —IPMS/USA Reviews 
   
  “For the technical enthusiast, you’ll find lots of numbers and analysis of systems and flight characteristics.” —Historical Miniatures Gaming Society

  Hunt the Bismarck - The Pursuit...

  Hunt the Bismarck tells the story of Operation Rheinübung, the Atlantic sortie of the Nazi Germany's largest battleship in May 1941. 
  Bismarck entered service in the summer of 1940. She was well-armed, with eight 15-inch guns as well as a powerful array of lighter weapons, while her armored protection earned her the reputation of being unsinkable. This claim was finally put to the test in May 1941, when she sortied into the Atlantic and fought the legendary battle of the Denmark Strait, destroying HMS Hood, the pride of the Royal Navy. Bismarck was now loose in the North Atlantic. However, damage sustained in the battle limited her ability to roam at will, while the Royal Navy deployed the Home Fleet to revenge the Hood. The stage was set for the greatest chase story in the history of naval warfare. 
  Drawing on a wealth of first-hand accounts, and intertwining extensive research into a fast-paced narrative, this is the most accurate account of Bismarck's epic voyage ever produced.
