Summary

“For all animal lovers ... Few books ... approach the combination of fine writing, radical honesty, and endless optimism found [in these] veterinary tales.” (Booklist, starred review) With insight and humor, Dr. Philipp Schott shares tales from the unlikely path he took into his career as a veterinarian and anecdotes from his successful small-animal clinic. Dr. Schott brings to his writing the benefit of many years of expertise. Wisdom he imparts on readers includes the best way to give your cat a pill, how to prevent your very handy dog from opening a fridge, and how to handle your fish when it has half-swallowed another.  Through these and other experiences, Dr. Schott also learned that veterinary medicine is as much, if not more, about the people as it is the animals. And he will have you laughing and crying as you embark on this journey of discovery with him. “Filled with heartwarming stories any animal lover will enjoy. It’s informative and entertaining, much like our pets themselves!” ― eresa Rhyne, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller The Dog Lived (and So Will I) “Who amongst us animal lovers hasn’t fantasized being a vet? Well, read Philipp Schott’s highly entertaining and informative book and learn exactly what you’d be in for―all the poignancy, hilarity, and plain hard work. You may decide to keep your day job, but you’ll be a much better animal companion for having picked up the many insider tips Schott imparts.” ―Barbara Gowdy, award-winning author of The White Bone and Helpless

    A blend of memoir, history, and travelogue exploring the ancient Egyptian city on the eve of the Arab Spring: “Fresh and original . . . quietly virtuosic.” —The Wall Street Journal 
 
Blending aspects of memoir, history, and travel narrative into an elegant and unique tapestry, Peter Stothard uses the sights and sounds of the ancient city to reconnect with the experiences that shaped him and sparked a passionate interest in the life of Cleopatra. Melancholy, yet often humorous, Alexandria probingly deconstructs the enigma of modern Egypt—with its uneasy mix of classical touchstones and increasingly volatile Middle Eastern politics—and offers a firsthand glimpse into the fracturing state just before the Tahrir Square uprising and the start of the Arab Spring. 
 
Includes photographs 
 
“A thoroughly enjoyable combination of history, autobiography, travel and general musings about Alexandria . . . Don’t try to categorize this book; just read it and let it flow over you.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) 
 
“A chance trip to Alexandria and a lifelong love affair with Cleopatra coalesce . . . Staying in Alexandria’s Metropole Hotel and guided through the city by the at turns effusive and secretive Socratis and Mahmoud, Stothard relates not only his encounters with the remnants of Cleopatra throughout Alexandria but also the origins of his fascination with the Egyptian queen.” —Publishers Weekly

    You get an actual Audiobook about the history of the WWF LJN Wrestling Superstars Figures as well as a LJN Wrestling Superstars Figures Price Guide combined in one Book. 
Ever since the 1980s, wrestling figures have ruled the minds and hearts of kids and tweens everywhere. It all started in the 80s with companies such as Mattel, Hasbro, and LJN fighting for market share. The companies partnered with or were supported by shows that served as an advertisement medium for their licensed merchandise. Going with the trend at the time, LJN also entered into a partnership with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF), now known as World Wrestling Entertainment or WWE. 
WWE is an entertainment and media group that organizes and promotes wrestling events. LJN's partnership with WWF gave the world some of the most legendary wrestling figures in history. 8-inch, heavy-duty rubber figures, the WWF LJN Figures could withstand the most aggressive imaginary play. This quality of the LJN figures was one of the main reasons they went onto become the most successful wrestling figures of the 1980s. 
In this price guide, we name our picks for the best wrestling figures among the LJN wrestling superstar figures, LJN Bendies figures, and LJN Thumb Wrestler Figures. We will also provide you with the best available prices for all LJN Figures. 
We believe that it can be hard for most people to track the value of LJN Wrestling Figures as there is no official price guide bible. However, after you've read this book or wrestling price guide, you'll know what LJN wrestling collectibles are available and what their price is. This will ensure that you don't buy a wrestling collectible for more than what it's worth. Additionally, this will help you to get the best possible deal for a collectible you own.

    Let's say you want to know which famous Canadian poet lived in the Waverley Hotel for seven years, constantly changing rooms in fear of RCMP bugs. Or you live at 44 Walmer and want to know what on earth they were thinking with those balconies. Or you want to know what's behind (or underneath!) that giant O hanging over Harbord at Spadina. These things were troubling us, too, so we assembled East/West: A Guide to Where People Live in Downtown Toronto.
 
East/West is a guided tour of old stories and fresh perspectives on the architecture and planning of housing and urban development in central Toronto – including both success stories and perennial problems. With specially prepared maps and over 120 photos, and essays – written by 65 of our best architects, historians and planners – exploring the history and development of neighbourhoods and of the individual buildings within them, East/West is a portrait of Toronto like no other.
 
East/West is not your average city guide. It'll take you down alleyways you've never heard of, show you buildings you've never seen, offer you that bit of history you've never been able to access. It tells you how Toronto has tried to house the homeless over the years, how the waterfront evolved (or devolved, depending on how you look at it), and the character of different neighbourhoods has changed. FromAnnex abodes to Rosedale residences, this book will introduce you to a Toronto you only thought you knew.
