Poison-Proof your Dog - A Training and Practice Programme for Avoiding Poisoned Bait

Sonja Meiburger

Sinossi

Warnings about malicious poisoning have been a major concern among dog owners for some time now. You might like to think "it won't happen to me", but it's becoming increasingly clear that the danger lurks right outside our own front door. Laying down bait laced with poison or embedded with razor blades seems to have almost become a trend among dog-haters - and not just in cities. This book gives worried dog owners a well-thought-out, effective training plan to protect their dog and transform him from a hairy vacuum cleaner into a good dog who points out tempting treats instead of wolfing them down.
The author also shows why some well-intentioned advice doesn't work. With preventative measures from muzzle-training to emergency signals in case your dog does manage to pick up something, the book offers practical help until training becomes established.

The Home Place - Memoirs of a...

J. Drew Lanham

From the fertile soils of love, land, identity, family, and race emerges The Home Place, a big-hearted, unforgettable memoir by ornithologist J. Drew Lanham. 
Dating back to slavery, Edgefield County, South Carolina—a place "easy to pass by on the way somewhere else"—has been home to generations of Lanhams. In The Home Place, listeners meet these extraordinary people, including Drew himself, who over the course of the 1970s falls in love with the natural world around him. As his passion takes flight, however, he begins to ask what it means to be "the rare bird, the oddity." 
By turns angry, funny, elegiac, and heartbreaking, The Home Place is a remarkable meditation on nature and belonging, at once a deeply moving memoir and riveting exploration of the contradictions of black identity in the rural South—and in America today.

The Improv Handbook for Modern...

Sherri Lynn Wood

An exciting new approach for beginning to advanced quilters who want to improvise on their own, with a friend, or with a community of fellow makers.

Forget step-by-step instructions and copycat designs. In The Improv Handbook for Modern Quilters, Sherri Lynn Wood presents a flexible approach to quilting that breaks free of old paradigms. Instead of traditional instructions, she presents 10 frameworks (or scores) that create a guiding, but not limiting, structure. To help quilters gain confidence, Wood also offers detailed lessons for stitching techniques key to improvisation, design and spontaneity exercises, and lessons on color. Every quilt made from one of Wood’s scores will have common threads, but each one will look different because it reflects the maker’s unique interpretation. Featured throughout the book are Wood’s own quilts and a gallery of contributor works chosen from among the hundreds submitted when she invited volunteers to test her scores during the making of this groundbreaking work.

“Wood offers a series of techniques, guidelines and lessons on color choice for those ready to explore improvisational quilting. Her book is loaded with full-color photos and examples to inspire.” —Dallas Morning News

“Despite how it may “seam,” quilting isn’t all about rules! Quilting can be an exhilarating way to channel your creativity and express yourself. This book is focused more on exploration than explanation—a perfect mindset for beginners!” —Powell’s Books Staff Pick
