Originally published in Germany in 1923, “The German Shepherd Dog in Word and Picture” is the English translation of what is probably the most important book ever published on this popular breed. This volume is highly recommended for owners and breeders alike, and it would make for a fantastic addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: “The Shepherd dog and Herdsman’s dog, their Origin and Relationship”, “The Nature and Service of the Shepherd Dog”, “Breeding”, “Rearing”, “Judging”, “Training”, “Kennels”, etc Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.

Learn to communicate with your dog—using their language “Good reading for dog lovers and an immensely useful manual for dog owners.”—The Washington Post An Applied Animal Behaviorist and dog trainer with more than twenty years’ experience, Dr. Patricia McConnell reveals a revolutionary new perspective on our relationship with dogs—sharing insights on how “man’s best friend” might interpret our behavior, as well as essential advice on how to interact with our four-legged friends in ways that bring out the best in them. After all, humans and dogs are two entirely different species, each shaped by its individual evolutionary heritage. Quite simply, humans are primates and dogs are canids (as are wolves, coyotes, and foxes). Since we each speak a different native tongue, a lot gets lost in the translation. This marvelous guide demonstrates how even the slightest changes in our voices and in the ways we stand can help dogs understand what we want. Inside you will discover: • How you can get your dog to come when called by acting less like a primate and more like a dog • Why the advice to “get dominance” over your dog can cause problems • Why “rough and tumble primate play” can lead to trouble—and how to play with your dog in ways that are fun and keep him out of mischief • How dogs and humans share personality types—and why most dogs want to live with benevolent leaders rather than “alpha wanna-bes!” Fascinating, insightful, and compelling, The Other End of the Leash is a book that strives to help you connect with your dog in a completely new way—so as to enrich that most rewarding of relationships.

A couple years back, I was at the Phoenix airport bar. It was empty except for one heavy-set, gray bearded, grizzled guy who looked like he just rode his donkey into town after a long day of panning for silver in them thar hills. He ordered a Jack Daniels straight up, and that's when I overheard the young guy with the earring behind the bar asking him if he had ID. At first the old sea captain just laughed. But the guy with the twinkle in his ear asked again. At this point it became apparent that he was serious. Dan Haggerty's dad fired back, "You've got to be kidding me, son." The bartender replied, "New policy. Everyone has to show their ID." Then I watched Burl Ives reluctantly reach into his dungarees and pull out his military identification card from World War II. It's a sad and eerie harbinger of our times that the Oprah-watching, crystal-rubbing, Whole Foods-shopping moms and their whipped attorney husbands have taken the ability to reason away from the poor schlub who makes the Bloody Marys. What we used to settle with common sense or a fist, we now settle with hand sanitizer and lawyers. Adam Carolla has had enough of this insanity and he's here to help us get our collective balls back. In Fifty Years We'll All Be Chicks is Adam's comedic gospel of modern America. He rips into the absurdity of the culture that demonized the peanut butter and jelly sandwich, turned the nation's bathrooms into a lawless free-for-all of urine and fecal matter, and put its citizens at the mercy of a bunch of minimum wagers with axes to grind. Peppered between complaints Carolla shares candid anecdotes from his day to day life as well as his past—Sunday football at Jimmy Kimmel's house, his attempts to raise his kids in a society that he mostly disagrees with, his big showbiz break, and much, much more. Brilliantly showcasing Adam's spot-on sense of humor, this book cements his status as a cultural commentator/comedian/complainer extraordinaire.

Peace Within: A Journey through Chronic Illness and Finding Peace within the Pain is a riveting story based on the author's personal experience with slowly having her life turned upside down by an onslaught of debilitating symptoms that started in 2010, which she was later to be diagnosed with having dysautonomia/postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, fibromyalgia, generalized hypermobility disorder, chronic back and hip pain, and migraines on a daily basis. As the months went by, Heather would go from feeling like a normal and healthy thirty-four-year-old woman to having to call out from work for being sick with her symptoms or going to doctor's appointments. She started feeling hopeless when doctor after doctor could not find the cause of all these symptoms. She was told this was only anxiety and depression. Throughout this battle, she was a full-time employee in the medical field, a mother to two young children, and a wife in a failing marriage. She tells her story of losing her job and finances/credit, and her health felt like it was slipping away. Her emotional, physical, and spiritual pain was put to the ultimate test. She is jolted back to the foundation of her strength, her healing, and peace within through her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, before it was too late...but right on time. Heather remembers that with God all things are possible! Her healing and her peace within were already there; all she had to do was ask for them and receive them. 2
