Summary

Discover tales of ghosts and spirits from Chattooga to Fayette and beyond in this volume by “a connoisseur of Georgia’s paranormal related activity” (The Red & Black).   From antebellum mansions to historic restaurants, old mills, and even an outhouse, North Georgia is home to more than its fair share of ghosts. In Haunted North Georgia, author Jim Miles reveals the most terrifying ghost stories from each county in the region.   Reverend Robert William Bigham of Coweta County received a supernatural visit from his wife after her untimely death. The night watchman at an Elberton cotton mill became acquainted with three haunting visitors in his four decades at the mill. Hikers on Lookout Mountain were surprised to discover a mysterious house eerily decorated with magical symbols and bones. Miles reveals these and other supernatural tales from across North Georgia.

    What is it like to be a dog? A bat? Or a dolphin? To find out, neuroscientist Gregory Berns and his team began with a radical step: they taught dogs to go into an MRI scanner—completely awake. They discovered what makes dogs individuals with varying capacities for self-control, different value systems, and a complex understanding of human speech. And dogs were just the beginning. In What It's Like to Be a Dog, Berns explores the fascinating inner lives of wild animals from dolphins and sea lions to the extinct Tasmanian tiger. Much as Silent Spring transformed how we thought about the environment, so What It's Like to Be a Dog will fundamentally reshape how we think about—and treat—animals. Groundbreaking and deeply humane, it is essential listening for animal lovers of all stripes.
