The Modern Dog Decoded: From...

Ajee Johannes De Klerk

For thousands of years, dogs have stood faithfully by our side, yet in many ways, we still don't truly understand them. Why do they behave the way they do? What do they really need from us? And how can we build stronger, more natural bonds with the animals we call family? In The Modern Dog Decoded, animal behaviorist Kurdt Greenwood draws on over 20 years of experience working with some of the world's most powerful pack and pride animals, from wild dogs and hyenas to lions, alongside his work with one of America's largest dog training franchises, Always Faithful Dog Training. Blending the raw lessons of the wild with the real challenges faced by today's dog owners, Kurdt reveals how ancient instincts still shape modern canine behavior and what that means for you and your dog. With practical insights, eye-opening stories, and a fresh perspective on the human-dog relationship, this book isn't just about training; it's about transformation. You'll learn how to read your dog more clearly, create better routines, and unlock the instincts that have guided our shared journey for over 10,000 years. Whether you're a first-time owner or a seasoned trainer, The Modern Dog Decoded will change the way you see your dog and yourself as their pack leader.

Poppy State - A Labyrinth of...

Myriam Gurba

From the award-winning author of Creep comes a powerful book by a writer at the peak of her powers—at once a love letter to California and a literary tour de force that tells the story of resilience and reclamation through a relationship with plants, memory, myth, and indigenous knowledge. Myriam Gurba has lived in California her entire life, with its plants and soils, forests and ecology, immersing herself in the language of the landscape as refracted through the languages and memories of her ancestors. In Poppy State, California plants serve as structural anchors in a wildly inventive work of narrative nonfiction that is part botanical criticism, part personal storytelling, and part study of place. The reader is invited to commune with California with Gurba as their guide, ushered through a compendium of anecdotes, reminiscences, utterances, lists, incantations, newspaper articles, and other ephemera. Through the stories of these plants she comes to a new understanding of what occurs in the cultivation of a soul. Gurba learns if she can care for her body as she does her plants, her soul can thrive—like the California poppy on her kitchen windowsill. And through walks in the Angeles National Forest, she visits oaks, crows, elderberries, and sycamores, while foraging for acorns, flowers, and berries to adorn her altar at home. Poppy State is a riveting tour de force.“The mother of intersectional Latinx identity.” —Cosmopolitan "Scorchingly good."—Cheryl Strayed “The most fearless writer in America.” —Luis Alberto Urrea, Pulitzer Prize finalist  "A truly distinctive, authentic, and dynamic literary voice. . . Myriam Gurba is one of our great American intellectuals." —Los Angeles Times
