  The Great Grisby - Two Thousand...

  Mikita Brottman

  A scholar, psychoanalyst, and cultural critic explores the multifaceted role dogs play in our world in this charming bestiary of dogs from literature, lore, and life.While gradually unveiling her eight-year love affair with her French bulldog, Grisby, Mikita Brottman ruminates on the singular bond between dogs and humans. Why do prevailing attitudes warn us against loving our pet “too much”? Is her relationship with Grisby nourishing or dysfunctional, commonplace or unique? Challenging the assumption that there’s something repressed and neurotic about those deeply connected to a dog, she turns her keen eye on the many ways in which dog is the mirror of man.The Great Grisby is organized into twenty-six alphabetically arranged chapters, each devoted to a particular human-canine union drawn from history, art, philosophy, or literature. Here is Picasso’s dachshund Lump; Freud’s chow Yofi; Bill Sikes’s mutt Bull’s Eye in Oliver Twist; and Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s spaniel Flush, whose biography was penned by Virginia Woolf. There are royal dogs, like Prince Albert’s greyhound Eos, and dogs cherished by authors, like Thomas Hardy’s fox terrier, Wessex. Brottman’s own beloved Grisby serves as an envoy for sniffing out these remarkable companions.Quirky and delightful, and peppered with incisive personal reflections and black-and-white sketches portraying a different dog and its owner drawn by the enormously talented Davina “Psamophis” Falcão, The Great Grisby reveals how much dogs have to teach us about empathy, happiness, love—and what it means to be human.

  Make the right cut every time and maximize your fruit production—covers over forty varieties of trees from apples to almonds and plums to pomegranates.  Note: If you would like to see the Echo Point paperback version of How to Prune Fruit Trees, please search ISBN 1626549540.   While the act of pruning is simple enough, knowing where and when to prune can confound even experienced gardeners. For more than half a century, Robert Sanford Martin’s How to Prune Fruit Trees has been the go-to guide for pruners of all levels of expertise. As one reviewer noted, “This book simplifies what other books complicate. It has a small amount of text paired with line drawings that help break pruning tasks down into something you can easily understand.” Martin has judiciously pruned his words to make his advice as clear and simple as possible. His guidance in the art of cutting back and thinning out has been responsible for the preservation of countless healthy trees and orchards.   In this enhanced edition, additional information from H. H. Thomas’s Pruning Made Easy explores the treatment of roots, side shoots, sub-laterals, standards, cordon trees, and other aspects of plant care. Well illustrated and clear, this book is an indispensable guide for year-round pruning success for both seasoned and amateur gardeners.

  Three titles in one! 
  Audiobook one: With the benefits of aquaponics, combining aquaculture and hydroponics, anyone interested in this topic should start with an informational guide. This is a great audiobook for hobbyists, beginners, and those who want to go pro. Would you rather spend a hundred dollars on a video course or just learn everything from an audiobook for a few bucks?  
  This audiobook gives you all the information and basics you need. Because of this excellent guide, you can save time, money, and frustrations by starting out the right way also and know what you are doing. Various decisions have to be made. Things have to be compared. The systems have to be built. All of these things will be easier with some key pieces of information for a great start.   
  Audiobook two: If you’re looking for new ideas and tips (not visual plans) on chicken coops, then this audiobook might be for you. You will be able to make better decisions by figuring out which coop design is right for you, whether you should start a chicken coop (things you may have overlooked), and much more. This is a fantastic little guide for new chicken farmers. It gives several different insights on coops and raising chickens, and in that way, it’s kind of a twofold guide. For detailed plans and measurements, listeners should look elsewhere, but for the newbie who is still deciding, considering, or wondering where to start, this is the best way to go.   
  Audiobook three: In case you’ve been living under a rock (a square one), you may have heard of square-foot gardening. It allows for a small space to grow plants and create a mini-ecosystem, if you will, that optimizes space and resources. In this brief introduction, you will learn all the basics you need to get started, and you may even be convinced by the end of the audiobook that this is the best way to garden. You will be amazed at the things you can do with limited resources.
