  Spaniels are some of the most popular dog breeds, fulfilling working and companion roles in society. While spaniels are typically sociable, outgoing, optimistic and friendly, they have retained many traits reflective of their working gundog origins, such as hunting, retrieving, speed and stamina. These remain essential for working Spaniels, but for Spaniels and their caregivers who find themselves in a more domestic situation, these traits can sometimes prove challenging. This book is an essential guide for anyone who lives with or is thinking about living with spaniels and wants to understand them more. Written by a canine scientist with decades of experience with cocker spaniels, this book explores the origin, care, management and training of spaniels. It considers how to develop a responsive and supportive relationship with your spaniel, and examines practical and fair training approaches to support health, welfare and behaviour in a clear and accessible way.

  Do you dare to question what’s real, who’s in charge—and what they’re willing to sacrifice to stay there? 
  Think Fargo meets Fight Club, with a dash of Bad Monkey and a side of Dexter. This story delivers sharp commentary and strange bedfellows: sophisticated internationalists, drone pilots in bunny slippers, assassins on banana seat bikes, and network news anchors with God complexes. 
  Meet Leroy O’Malley of Apalachicola, Florida: a naive and hopeful dreamer. All he wanted was a shot at the good life—a steady job, maybe even a dental plan.  
  This is the story of a man who made the mistake of believing the lies we are all told.  
  Always down on his luck, a chance encounter with a foul-mouthed - though oddly charismatic - out-of-towner at a roadside oyster shack suddenly launches Leroy on the fast-track to the life he’s always wanted.  
  But as the stakes rise, he finds himself swept into a tangled mess of black ops, corrupt officials, and media puppeteers who see him as the perfect fall guy. He thought he was chasing purpose and a 401K plan—until purpose chased him back with a surgical saw and an igloo cooler. 
  Will he choose himself or America?  
  The only way to find out is to read the series.

  Aksumite Empire - Ethiopia's...

  The Aksumite Empire was one of the most significant and influential civilizations of ancient Africa. Emerging around the first century AD, it became a powerful and sophisticated state that played a crucial role in connecting diverse cultures and trade networks across continents. Its strategic location, bridging the Red Sea and the interior of the African continent, allowed Aksum to flourish as both a political and economic hub, facilitating exchanges between the Mediterranean world, the Arabian Peninsula, and beyond. 
  At the heart of Aksum’s success was its remarkable ability to integrate various cultural and economic influences. The empire was not only a center for commerce but also a melting pot of traditions, languages, and beliefs. This rich cultural mosaic is reflected in its unique art, architecture, and inscriptions, which have provided modern scholars with invaluable insights into the life and achievements of this ancient society. The monuments and stelae scattered across the landscape serve as enduring testaments to the empire's power and its sophisticated understanding of both artistry and engineering. 
  The rise of Aksum was deeply intertwined with the development of its political structures and the establishment of a centralized administration. Early rulers of the empire forged alliances through both diplomacy and military might, thereby securing their territories against external threats and internal discord. As the state grew in power, it adopted innovative approaches to governance that balanced traditional practices with the demands of a rapidly expanding empire. These innovations laid the groundwork for what would later be recognized as the first Christian kingdom in Africa.
