Sinopse

Devised by Dr. Frantisek Horak, a top-ranked geneticist from the Czech Republic, the Cesky Terrier is one dog world's best kept secrets and one of the few terrier breeds that did not derive from the British Islands. This modern creation is a rare combination of beauty and ability, a "small, slim and elegant" terrier that is a true go-to-ground working dog. Originally devised from crosses of the Scottish and Sealyham Terriers, today's Cesky Terrier is a purebred dog through and through, recognized by the American Kennel Club and all of the world's major registries.


The author, Katherine Eckstrom is the heiress apparent of Dr. Horak, having cooperated with the famous geneticist before his death and continuing to breed his dream dogs from his original line of Czech dogs. Mrs. Eckstrom is the world authority of the Cesky Terrier, an American breeder who is highly respected in the Czech Republic and around the world. This offers a comprehensive history of the Cesky Terrier, from the creation of the breed in Europe to its rise in today's world of purebred dogs. In discussing the breed's characteristics, the author presents an interview with Dr. Horak, thus providing the most authoritative account of the breed's desirable physical traits and personality and an explanation of the breed standard


New owners will welcome the well-prepared chapter on finding a breeder and selecting a health, sound puppy. Chapters on puppy-proofing the home and yard, purchasing the right supplies for the puppy as well as house-training, feeding, and grooming are illustrated with handsome adults and puppies bursting with energy and personality! In all, there are over 135 photographs in this compact, useful, and reliable volume. The author's advice on obedience training the Cesky Terrier will help readers better mold and train their dogs into the most socialized, well-mannered purebred dog in the neighborhood. The extensive chapter on healthcare provides detailed information on selecting a qualified veterinarian, vaccinations, parasites, infectious diseases, and more. Sidebars throughout the text offer helpful hints, covering topics as diverse as toxic plants, bloat, first aid, crate training, carsickness, fussy eaters, and parasite control. Fully indexed.

    The Thesmophoriazusae, or Women Celebrating the Thesmophoria , is a comedy by Aristophanes that satirizes gender relations, religion, and the power of women in ancient Greek society. The plot centers on Euripides, who fears that the women of Athens—gathered to honor the goddess Demeter at the all-female Thesmophoria festival—will punish him for portraying them negatively in his tragedies. To secure his safety, he enlists his father-in-law Mnesilochus to infiltrate the festival disguised as a woman. Chaos ensues when Mnesilochus is caught, leading to a series of farcical escapes, witty wordplay, and sharp literary parody. Through slapstick humor and biting satire, Aristophanes critiques both Euripides’ dramatic themes and the social norms surrounding gender and religious ritual, making The Thesmophoriazusae a clever and provocative exploration of art, identity, and societal critique in classical Athens.

    Combining The Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook and Into Thin Air, award-winning documentarian Mick Conefrey's The Adventurer's Handbook draws lessons from the glory days of exploration. 
    What makes a good explorer? Adaptability, ambition, stamina, self-confidence, curiosity, optimism, authority—and fundraising ability. Though few of us will ever have to face a charging elephant, or survive solely on penguin stew, when it comes to project management, crisis aversion, or any number of everyday problems, there is much we can learn from the larger-than-life tales of the world's most famous adventurers. 
    Here, award-winning documentarian Mick Conefrey pulls practical advice from their original diaries and logs, like how to survive an anaconda attack (wait until it has swallowed your legs, then reach down and cut its head off), and how to keep morale up (according to Ernest Shackleton, "A good laugh doesn't require any additional weight"). In addition to the wonderful characters and stories, this book offers many lessons on how to set sail without a clear path home. 
    Answers to some important questions, courtesy of The Adventurer's Handbook: 
    * How many corpses are believed to be on Mt. Everest? 
    Answer: 120 
    * How is polar bear meat best prepared? 
    Answer: Raw and frozen. 
    * What do you do if attacked by a charging lion? 
    Answer: Stand very still and stare it down. 
    * What should you wear when crossing a desert? 
    Answer: Lots of layers—fabric absorbs sweat and prolongs its cooling action.
