Sinopse

Be (more) aware!
 
Here is your road map to evaluating, managing and modifying aggressive behavior in pet dogs. Beware of the Dog offers a wide-ranging look at all types of aggression and the way these troublesome behaviors develop. It explains the latest protocols for evaluating and dealing with the problems of aggressive dogs from classical conditioning to operant conditioning, and prescribes management strategies that really work. Written in an easy-to-understand style that meets the needs of trainers as well as the motivated dog owner.
 
Pat’s new book should be on the desk, not the bookshelf, of every professional studying or working with aggression cases. It will become your “go to” reference manual for all case management and behavior modification protocols. Your personal copy will quickly become dog-eared, highlighted, bookmarked, smudged with fingerprints, annotations and filled with post-it notes. Niki Tudge, President of the Pet Professional Guild and author of People Training Skills for Pet Professionals 
 
Full of engaging anecdotes that illustrate Pat’s approach, which is steadfastly force-free and humane.  Jean Donaldson, Founder, The Academy for Dog Trainers and author of The Culture Clash, MINE and FIGHT
 
Beware of the Dog has become my number one resource for dealing with aggressive dogs. It’s filled with up-to-date, dog-friendly scientific methods that every trainer should know, in an easy-to-understand format that pet parents can understand. If you train, live with, or know someone with a dog who displays aggressive behaviors, this is the book to get! 
 
Robin Bennett, CPDT-KA, author of All About Dog Daycare, and co-founder of The Dog Gurus
 
This book provides a good overview of the causes of aggression as well as the techniques used to manage and modify that unwanted behavior. It will be a useful resource to the dog owner struggling to understand WHY their dog is behaving this way and HOW to help their pet in a positive and constructive manner.Leslie Sinn, DVM, CPDT-KA, Founder of Behavior Solutions for Pets, Hamilton, VA
 

 
Pat Miller has written an ideal response to a culture that has become sensitized to problems of dog aggression. She provides a detailed critique of the futility and in-humaneness of strong-armed dominance tactics that still attract followers and provides sound antidotes in the form of rational, scientific and effective approaches that strive to enhance the communication between people and dogs  to everyone’s benefit.
 
Randall Lockwood, Ph.D. Senior Vice President, ASPCA
 

 
Pat Miller has given us the ultimate positive blueprint for helping dogs with aggression. She dispels the common myths about aggression, provides guidance for navigating what can be a frightening world for many of our pets, and helps to bring peace back into the homes of families living with aggression.  This is Pat Miller at her finest!

    The Unknown World of the Mobile...

    An in-depth look at the history and culture of mobile homes in the United States. 
     
    In American popular imagination, the mobile home evokes images of cramped interiors, cheap materials, and occupants too poor or unsavory to live anywhere else. Since the 1940s and ‘50s, however, mobile home manufacturers have improved standards of construction and now present them as an affordable alternative to conventional site-built homes. Today one of every fourteen Americans lives in a mobile home. 
     
    In The Unknown World of the Mobile Home authors John Fraser Hart, Michelle J. Rhodes, and John T. Morgan illuminate the history and culture of these often misunderstood domiciles. They describe early mobile homes, which were trailers designed to be pulled behind automobiles and which were more often than not poorly constructed and unequal to the needs of those who used them. During the 1970s, however, Congress enacted federal standards for the quality and safety of mobile homes, which led to innovation in design and the production of much more attractive and durable models. These models now comply with local building codes and many are designed to look like conventional houses. As a result, one out every five new single-family housing units purchased in the United States is a mobile home, sited everywhere from the conventional trailer park to custom-designed “estates” aimed at young couples and retirees. Despite all these changes in manufacture and design, even the most immobile mobile homes are still sold, financed, regulated, and taxed as vehicles. 
     
    With a wealth of detail and illustrations, The Unknown World of the Mobile Home provides readers with an in-depth look into this variation on the American dream. 
     
    “A clear, concise, and innovative look at the history, the economics, and the politics of the mobile home. The authors reveal the inner workings of mobile home living by drawing upon a wide variety of sources, from industry data to interviews conducted at mobile home parks across the country. Further, they explore new types of mobile home communities—those assembled for workers at meat-processing centers in southwest Kansas, for example—that complicate the familiar image of the mobile home park as retirement village. The ideas presented in this book provide a solid starting point for many detailed studies on this important topic.” —Karl Raitz, University of Kentucky, author of The National Road

    One November morning, Tom Jeffreys set off from Euston Station with a gnarled old walking stick in his hand and an overloaded rucksack. His aim was to walk the 119 miles from London to Birmingham along the proposed route of HS2. Needless to say, he failed.
    Over the course of ten days of walking, Jeffreys meets conservationists and museum directors, fiery farmers and suicidal retirees. From a rapidly changing London, through interminable suburbia, and out into the English countryside, Jeffreys goes wild camping in Perivale, flees murderous horses in Oxfordshire, and gets lost in a landfill site in Buckinghamshire. Signal Failure weaves together poetry and politics, history, philosophy and personal observation to form an extended exploration of people and place, nature, society, and the future.
    In part, Signal Failure is the story of the author's multiple shortcomings – his inability to understand the city he lives in, to forge a meaningful relationship with his home-county hometown, to emulate those great nature writers he admires so much, to put up a tent or read a map.
    It is also a wide-ranging critique of humanity's most urgent failures: of capitalism, of community, of the city and the suburbs, of architecture and agriculture, of bureaucratic democracy, and, in the end, of our age-old failure to find our place in the world we live in.

    The U-Boat War

    2.20PM Directly in front of us I sighted four funnels and the masts of a passenger steamer at right angles to our course coming from the SW and going towards Galley Head.  3:10 PM Torpedo shot at a distance of 700 meters below the surface - from the log of the German submarine U–20.  The explosion that followed changed history as the date of the ship's log was may 7, 1915, the steamer was the Lusitania, and the torpedo sent 1195 innocent men, women, and children to a watery grave.  In 1914, U-Boats were a new and untried weapon, and when such a weapon can bring a mighty empire to the briink of defeat there is a story worth telling.  Edwyn Gray's The U-Boat War is the history of the Kaiser's attempt to destroy the British Empire by a ruthless campaign of unrestricted submarine warfare.  It opens with Germany's first tentative experiments with the submarines and climaxes with the naval mutiny that helped bring down the Kaiser.  In between is  is a detailed account of a campaign of terror which, by April 1917,had the British Empire on the verge of surrender.  The cost in lives and equipment was staggering.  On the German side, 4894 sailors and 515 officers lost their lives in action; 178 German Submarines were destroyed by the allies; 14 were scuttled and 122 surrendered. According to the most reliable sources, 5,708 ships were destroyed by the U-Boats and 13,333 non-combatants perished in British Ships.  World figures for civilian casualties were never released  The U-Boat War is a savage but thrilling account of men fighting for their lives beneath the sea, and of the boats that changed the face of naval warfare.
