Summary

This book contains a detailed guide to terriers as used for sport, with chapters on their history, selection, breeding, training, general management, and more. Profusely-illustrated and full of timeless, practical information, "Sporting Terriers" is highly recommended for modern terrier owners and breeders, and it would make for a useful addition to allied collections. Contents include: "Ancient and Mediaeval Earth Dogs", "The Tudor and Stuart Period", "Terriers and Terrier Work of Our Own Times, With a Description of All the Modern Sporting Terriers", "Qualities Which go to Make a Good Working Terrier", "The Fox", "The Badger", "The Otter", "Equipment for Badger - Digging", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on working terriers.
Available since: 10/06/2017.

    A culinary history of Providence and the memorable eateries that once made their homes there. In the city that invented the diner, so many amazing restaurants remain only in memories. The Silver Top had fresh coffee every twenty minutes, and the Ever Ready was hot dog heaven. Miss Dutton's Green Room and the Shepard Tea Room beckoned shoppers in their Sunday finest. At Childs, the griddle chef made butter cakes in the window for night owls, and Harry Houdini supped at midnight with H.P. Lovecraft at the Waldorf Lunch. Themed lounges like the Beachcomber and the Bacchante Room chased away the Prohibition blues. Downcity Diner offered a famous meatloaf, and Ming Garden’s Ming Wings were a staple for regulars. Author David Norton Stone details the restaurants that still hold a place in the hearts of locals

    A delicious way to hack your DNA and prevent early aging. 
     
    In 2009, a team of scientists won the Nobel Prize for uncovering how telomeres and chromosomes affect the human aging process. Since that revolutionary discovery, they have also learned how diet, sleep patterns, stress, exercise habits, and even interpersonal relationships impact telomere health—shedding light on just how much we can influence how quickly we age. 
     
    The Telomere Diet & Cookbook offers you a critical tool for increasing your longevity: eating right to protect your telomeres. With this revolutionary plant-based (but not plant-exclusive) diet, you’ll be able to cook simple and delicious recipes that will help improve the way you age.

    The Reincarnated Black Seraph Rises With One Mission. Save Humanity 
    ?From Billions, Only a Million Must Survive? 
     
     
    The end of the era of humanity was marked by the appearance of the World Dungeon and the system of power it provided. No one gained more power than the tyrant known as the Black Seraph, the Angel of Death. Surviving at the expense of the rest of humanity, Seraph was able to complete the World Dungeon. A hollow victory, as he was cursed by the spirit of the dungeon for ruthlessly focusing on his empowerment.  
     
    His power sealed away within the dungeon; Seraph was cast into the past, reincarnated into the body of his child-like self. Forbidden from hoarding power for himself and charged with the mission of ensuring the survival of humanity. But people do not change overnight, and Seraph must find a new path forward and learn there's more to power than being a tyrant if humanity is to survive the Genesis Game.
