Synopsis

In "A Dog Day; or, The Angel in the House," Walter Emanuel masterfully weaves a narrative that encapsulates the intricate dynamics of domestic life, exploring the profound bond between humans and their canine companions. This late Victorian novella employs a rich, descriptive literary style that blends humor and pathos, showcasing Emanuel's adeptness at portraying multi-dimensional characters within a societal framework that often prioritizes conventional moral values. The book's protagonist journeys through personal and societal revelations, revealing the nuanced influence of pets on emotional and moral landscapes, thereby resonating with contemporary discussions about the role of animals in human lives. Walter Emanuel, a noted figure in early 20th-century literature, was known for his affinity towards animal companionship, often inspired by his own experiences. Emerging from a milieu fascinated by the impact of urban life, Emanuel'Äôs narratives frequently draw on themes of domesticity, societal roles, and emotional connections, reflecting the Victorian preoccupation with the home as a sanctum. His unique perspective paved the way for insightful explorations of everyday experiences, creating a relevant dialogue on the interplay between humanity and nature. This charming novella is highly recommended for readers interested in the intersections of literature, domestic life, and animal companionship. Emanuel's work speaks to the heart, inviting readers to reflect on their own bonds with animals while offering a delightful glimpse into the societal constructs of his time. A must-read for lovers of character-driven narratives and those who appreciate the subtle joys and challenges of domestic existence.

    Part field guide, part history, part ornithology primer, and altogether fun. 
     
     
     
    Fact: Pigeons are amazing, and until recently, humans adored them. We've kept them as pets, held pigeon beauty contests, raced them, used them to carry messages over battlefields, harvested their poop to fertilize our crops—and cooked them in gourmet dishes. Now, with A Pocket Guide to Pigeon Watching, listeners can rediscover the wonder. Equal parts field guide and quirky history, it covers behavior: Why they coo; how they flock; how they preen, kiss, and mate (monogamously); and how they raise their young (on chunky pigeon milk). Anatomy and identification, from Birmingham Roller to the American Giant Runt to the Scandaroon. Birder issues, like what to do if you find a baby pigeon stranded in the park. And our lively shared story together, including all the things we've taught them—Ping-Pong, for example. "Rats with wings?" Think again. 
     
     
     
    Pigeons coo, peck and nest all over the world, yet most of us treat them with indifference or disdain. So Rosemary Mosco, a bird-lover, science communicator, writer, and cartoonist, is here to give the pigeon's image a makeover, and to help every town- and city-dweller get closer to nature by discovering the joys of birding through pigeon-watching.
