Synopsis

In "Dogs and All About Them," Robert Leighton offers an extensive exploration of canine companions, merging scientific insights with heartfelt narratives. The book meticulously delves into the history, breeding, and behavioral traits of various dog breeds, while also emphasizing the profound bond between humans and dogs. Leighton's narrative is both informative and accessible, characterized by a warm, engaging prose style that invites both the layperson and the canine enthusiast to appreciate the distinct qualities of dogs. Set against the backdrop of the late 19th century, this work reflects the growing interest in canine breeding and care during a time when dogs were increasingly recognized not just as working animals but as beloved family members. Robert Leighton was an avid dog lover and a prolific author, whose own experiences with canines profoundly shaped his views on their importance in human lives. His professional background in editing and journalism supplemented his ability to communicate complex ideas relating to breeding practices and veterinary care with clarity and passion. Through his personal anecdotes and observations, Leighton presents dogs not only as subjects of study but as companions deserving of our respect and affection. This book is highly recommended for anyone interested in understanding dogs in a holistic sense, encompassing their history, behavior, and the deep emotional connections they forge with humans. Leighton's work serves as both a reference guide and a heartfelt tribute, making it an essential read for dog lovers, breeders, and those intrigued by the intricate dynamics of the human-dog relationship.

    Hope . . . From the Heart of Horses explores and celebrates the relationship and bond possible between horses and humans. Each chapter offers a life lesson about trusting one's instincts, honestly addressing emotions, achieving clarity in communications, and releasing negative thoughts. 
     
     
     
    Because survival depends on being highly tuned to the thoughts and feelings of others, horses sense human intentions rather than what a person offers in facial expressions, which creates a remarkable effect on the relationship between these two distinctly different species. 
     
     
     
    Among the moving stories the author relates are a horse named Hope who teaches the difference between hope and faith; an abused horse's background bringing up old memories and helping the author to move on; a young Olympic equestrienne hopeful who discovers and reaffirms her self-esteem; and a corporate training session in which one participant achieves great success merely by being honest about her fears. 
     
     
     
    As you see how these people grow deeper into themselves as they learn the horse's way, you, too, will be inspired to explore and apply the deep and everlasting connection and communication between horses and humans.

    Ever stood frozen in a grocery aisle, paralyzed by 37 types of orange juice or milk options that require a PhD to decode? Welcome to America—the land of freedom, fries, and fifty wildly different grocery store experiences. 
    In this delightfully quirky road trip, Robert Okine trades tourist traps for frozen food sections and souvenir shops for snack aisles. With the eyes of a global nomad and the wit of your favorite stand-up comic, he journeys state by state—from California’s kale sanctuaries to Texas’ brisket emporiums, from Vermont’s maple-syrup serenity to Florida’s hot mess of sunshine and Spam. 
    Forget Michelin stars—this is a love letter to the humble grocery store, where culture, identity, and chaos collide under fluorescent lights. It’s anthropology with a shopping cart, humor with heart, and America like you’ve never seen it: through the absurd abundance of almond milks, the regional pride of ranch dressings, and the soulful confessions of hot bars and deli counters. 
    Whether you're a curious traveler, a cultural junkie, or just someone who’s ever yelled “WHY are there eight kinds of frozen waffles?”—this book is for you. 
    Grab your reusable bags, buckle your snack belt, and prepare to laugh, nod, and crave a cheese curd you’ve never tasted. 
    Because in the U.S.A., one thing’s for sure: you’ll always have options.
