Forests of India explores the critical role of India's forests in maintaining ecological health and biodiversity while addressing the increasing pressures they face. It emphasizes the need for sustainable conservation by examining the ecological significance of various forest types, the complexities of the human-wildlife interface, and the importance of community involvement. India's forests, which serve as crucial resources for millions and play a vital role in regulating water cycles, are explored through a historical lens, from ancient management practices to modern conservation efforts. The book uniquely advocates for a holistic approach, integrating ecological science with community involvement and effective governance to ensure the long-term resilience of these ecosystems.

"When in doubt, walk your dog" is the first of many valuable maxims in Dog Lessons, a heartfelt reflection on what dogs can teach us when we open ourselves to listen and learn.

From Wolf to Supermutt and...

Erika K Gősi

When Erika adopted Mila, she naively believed that, like instant soup, she wouldn't have to go through the process of cooking all the ingredients from scratch. She wouldn't have to house train, obedience train or intensely socialise a mature dog. Mila quickly proved how misguided she was! Her favourite pastime was zealously chewing Persian rugs while the living room became her personal toilet. Alternatively, when asked to sit, lie down, or come, she'd throw herself on her back in submission and refuse to move. Thunder and fireworks sent her rushing around in a mindless panic, while the sight of other dogs turned her into a screaming banshee. Does this sound familiar?
Introducing From Wolf to Supermutt and Everything In Between, a book to guide you and your dog to happiness and harmony. Predominantly written with information based on research studies, the book also includes anecdotes based on Erika's own experience to give it the personal factor. Erika's portrayal of all things canine begins with their evolution and domestication, the fundamental processes that triggered our ongoing relationship with dogs. Additionally, the book banishes a few myths, and explores the significance of nature vs nurture, including the importance of genetics, breeding and socialisation. Understanding how our dogs think and learn, knowing the source of canine behaviour problems, including the impact of detrimental and positive training methods, we can pre-empt many behaviour problems and positively shape our dogs into happy hounds.
