  Can an indoor cat live a happy, stimulating, and active life? A veterinarian and a journalist answer this question with a resounding "yes," and offer real-life guidance for opening up your cat's world, even if they stay within the confines of your home. There are many myths our culture perpetuates about domestic cats: they live longer indoors, sleep all day, are easy and low-maintenance pets, and can't be trained. Even the most well-meaning kitty caregiver will be surprised to learn that these long-held beliefs aren't necessarily based on facts, but instead reflect the many ways we have adapted our feline friends to our indoor, domesticated lifestyles.Indoor Cat, by Laura J. Moss, journalist and founder of Adventure Cats, and Lynn Bahr, a feline-only veterinarian, explores how to help cat owners understand a cat's perspective of their indoor homes, with practical ways to enhance cats' lives to the fullest and combat countless health and behavioral problems that result from indoor living, as well as raising the question: should every cat live exclusively indoors?Together with scientific studies, expert opinions from vets and behaviorists, and firsthand accounts and interviews, this informative and engaging full-color guide strives to reach compassionate cat owners looking for new ways to care for and connect with their feline companions.

  No Less Strange or Wonderful -...

  “Revelatory. … Prepare yourself to be dazzled.”—Ben Fountain, author of Devil Makes Three 
    
  Exploding sharks, trees riding bicycles, a Hollywood-esque balloon dress, a giant sloth in costume, a stolen woodpecker, and a sentient bag of wasps—and remember: this is nonfiction.  
    
  Celebrated author and artist A. Kendra Greene’s No Less Strange or Wonderful is a brilliant and generous meditation—on the complex wonder of being alive, on how to pay attention to even the tiniest (sometimes strangest) details that glitter with insight, whimsy, and deep humanity, if only we’d really look. 
    
  In twenty-six sparkling essays, Greene is trying to make sense—of anything, really—but especially the things that matter most in life: love, connection, death, grief, the universe, meaning, nothingness, and everythingness. Through a series of encounters with strangers, children, and animals, the wild merges with the domestic; the everyday meets the sublime. Each essay returns readers to our smallest moments and our largest ones in a book that makes us realize—through its exuberant language, its playful curation, and its delightful associative leapfrogging—that they are, in fact, one in the same.

  When firefighters step into the heart of the flames, they are not led by the strongest physically, but by the strongest mentally and psychologically. Leadership in an emergency environment is not the management of equipment, but the management of minds, hearts, and psychological states under inhuman pressure. 
  The psychological leader is the one who can read the minds of his crew before he reads the behavior of the fire. He knows how to boost the fighting spirit in the critical seconds, understands the psychological strengths and weaknesses within his team, controls his own emotions in front of everyone, and manages the psychological landscape of the fire—not just the fire itself. 
  He transforms panic into discipline and turns danger into an opportunity to build trust. 
  This course takes the leader deep into the engineering of the human mind under fire and teaches him how to This course takes the leader deep into the engineering of the human mind under fire and teaches him how to build a resilient mental command system, how to stabilize his team emotionally in the most chaotic seconds, how to make clear decisions while the environment collapses around him, and how to impose psychological control over the scene before physical control is even possible. 
  It trains him to recognize the early signs of fear, hesitation, and cognitive overload in his crew, and to intervene with precise psychological tactics that restore confidence and sharpen focus. It guides him to transform stress into momentum, pressure into clarity, and uncertainty into calculated action.
