Scholastic Book Services Incredible Dogs and Their Incredible Tales By Allan Zullo and Mara Bovsun Dogs are brave, smart, loyal and goofy. They are eager to play and even more eager to please. They ask for nothing more than a pat on the head and food in their bowl. This book is a celebration of incredible canines — a fancy word for dogs — whose antics and adventures will astound and amuse you. For example, Yellow Dog the mutt made an official appearance in a professional baseball game... Meg the Border collie herded sheep even though she had only two legs... Bruno the Great Dane caused a plate-smashing, glass-shattering panic in an elegant hotel... Henry the retriever ran right off a 140-foot cliff and lived to chase birds again. The book includes many remarkable stories of dog heroes. For instance, Budweiser the St. Bernard twice ran into a burning house to rescue children... Blue the Australian blue heeler, fought off a huge alligator to save the life of his master…Mariah the Rottweiler stopped an attack on her master by grabbing a baseball bat... and Punch the Labrador retriever saved a fellow hunting dog from drowning. Whether they are strays, purebreds or mutts, one thing is certain. Dogs are simply amazing!. Very Good Condition. more information

Boston: Little Brown & Co, 1993 he story of Polar Bear, the stray cat rescued by Amory in 1978, began with the best-selling The Cat Who Came for Christmas ( LJ 10/1/87) and continued with The Cat and the Curmudgeon ( LJ 8/1/90). It reaches its inevitable conclusion here. However, readers expecting multiple cat stories and a continuation of the Amory-Polar Bear antics may be disappointed. Most of the book concerns Amory's reflections on his life (i.e., his class reunion at Harvard) and his views on humane issues (not surprising when you realize he founded the Fund for Animals). Luckily, Amory is a very readable writer, and he is able to present his sideline comments and musings without appearing to stand on a soapbox. Two highlights of this volume are Amory's response to his classmates' appeal for a donation to their class fund and the final chapter, with his heartfelt perspective on pet loss. Despite its rambling style, The Best Cat Ever will have animal lovers everywhere lapping it up like a bowl of warm milk. - Edell Marie Schaefer, Brookfield P.L., Wis. Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Booklist The eponymous feline is, of course, Polar Bear, the stray Amory adopted in The Cat Who Came for Christmas (1987) and celebrated in The Cat and the Curmudgeon (1990). But as the new book opens, the venerable puss has "been with" Amory for 14 years: no one quite knows how old he was when he was snatched from the snow on Christmas Eve. So after Amory strolls down a pre-Polar Bear memory lane--with his usual entertaining tales and ever-so-catty comments about places (Milton Academy and Harvard), people (Kate Hepburn, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, and other celebrities), and publications (the Saturday Evening Post and TV Guide)--he gets down to brass tacks: the medical problems that beset man and beast in their later years. Amory and Polar Bear both suffer from arthritis; Amory is hit by a truck; and Polar Bear develops serious kidney problems. As pompous as Amory's prose can be, his love and respect for the critter with whom he lived for a decade and a half are palpable.. Hardcover. As New Condition. 8 x 5.8 x 1 inches. more information

Basking Ridge, New Jersey, U.S.A.: YokoSpirit Publications, 1999 Library JournalL While some people recover relatively quickly from the death of a pet, many suffer intensely and often need assistance in coping. A drama therapist and hypnotherapist, Antinori's aim is to help those who go through a variety of possible phases and validate their feelings. After trying to explain why the loss hurts so much, she deals with the power of memories, tributes, euthanasia, burial, cremation, and phases of the grieving process. Her relatively thorough exploration of this topic includes discussion of the meaning of relationships with pets. The pet as an extended parent to the owner will likely seem extreme to many. Her tendency to talk so much about her own experiences makes the tapes seem based far more in catharsis for herself than she admits. A small, helpful, but not all-inclusive booklet of various services and counseling resources is included. AudioFile - Anita Goldman Horning An actress turned therapist chronicles her feelings about the loss of her beloved dog, Yoko. Antinori expresses the grief process through original poetry and shares important resources. She also encourages listeners to take their own paths in experiencing grief. Antinori reads with sensitivity and compassion, clearly indicating she is close to the subject matter. Sounding wistful, she describes all the happy years with Yoko. Her sentimentality may be too palpable for some listeners, but those in similar circumstances will probably relate to her emotions. Listed at twenty five dollars.. Audio Cassette Program. As New.

New York: Bantam, 1999 The animals in Crozet, Virginia, are a lot smarter than the humans, which will come as no surprise to the devoted fans of Rita Mae Brown's mysteries featuring Mrs. Murphy the tiger cat, the luxury-loving feline known as Pewter, and Tee Tucker, a curious corgi. In their seventh outing, they're leaps and bounds ahead of Harry Haristeen, the spunky postmistress they call Mom. Long before anyone else knows what's going on, they've figured out the connection between the shot fired at wealthy Sir Henry Vane-Tempest during the reenactment of a Civil War battle and a missing airplane hidden in Tally Urquhart's barn. They're better at finding evidence trampled underfoot at a crime scene than any detective is, and they know just whose lap to drop it in. While they might not understand exactly why county commissioner Archie Ingram is so exercised about Vane-Tempest's plans for development in Albemarle County--particularly when it promises to make him as wealthy as the husband of the woman he loves--they've sniffed out the sexual shenanigans that threaten to derail the private pact between Crozet's leading citizens. If Harry and her friends knew what the animals know, there'd be no mystery about it; there'd only be a charming and lighthearted story of chicanery in the new Old South with plenty of local color, the scent of lilacs wafting through every page, and the deft prose of a writer on top of her game. But then, there'd be no raison d'etre for the liveliest scene in the book, wherein Mrs. Murphy, Pewter, and Tee take a turbo-charged Porsche for a breakneck ride through Virginia's verdant hills and dales. By the end of the book, the only mystery is whether Harry and Fair, her favorite ex-husband, will manage to get back together again in the next installment--or the one after that--of this popular series. --Jane Adams From Publishers Weekly The latest collaboration (after last year's Murder on the Prowl) between Brown and her feline muse is a charming and keen-eyed take on human misdeeds and animal shenanigans. Mrs. Murphy, the cat sleuth, out for an evening prowl, spots a small plane landing near an abandoned barn. Soon after, at an Albemarle County (Va.) Commission meeting, dissension arises over plans for a new reservoir, and two murders ensue. The owner of the plane, Tommy Van Allen, disappears, only to turn up later, frozen stiff in the refrigerator of a local food plant. Next, during a Civil War battle reenactment, a local landowner, Sir Henry Vane-Tempest, is shot in the back. Mrs. Murphy, ably aided by Tee Tucker the corgi and Pewter the cat, nudges the humans around her into finding evidence to braid all these stray strands. She even orchestrates a daring rescue. Told with spunk and plenty of whimsy, this is another delightful entry in a very popular series. Illustrations by Itoko Maeno .. Hardcover.

New York: Simon & Schuster Adult Publishing Group, 1996 From the time she was a child, picking up stuffed animals that had fallen from a department store shelf, to the day she stepped through the doors of the Humane Society of Santa Clara Valley in California, Terri Crisp seemed driven by destiny to save animals in trouble. Out of Harm's Way is the unforgettable story of how she began her life's work, and of the often miraculous, sometimes heartbreaking, but always courageous rescues she achieved along the way. In the darkest moments of disaster, Terri Crisp has generated the most lasting memories of her life. Complete with heartwarming photographs and an invaluable resource section for rescuing and aiding animals in disaster situations, Out of Harm's Way is her passionate story: the deeply moving, inspiring account of one woman's desire to give the greatest gifts of all - love, care, and unending devotion - to aid in the survival of all our animal friends, great and small. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this book will be given to United Animal Nations. David Wharton "Crisp offers sympathy and, more important, the wisdom of experience." -- Los Angeles Times Alix Madrigal "One comes away from this heartbreaking, heartwarming book enormously grateful for people like Terri Crisp." -- San Francisco Chronicle Kirkus Reviews Poignant memories from an animal savior (with co-author Glen, an animal-rights activist). Since 1983, Crisp has devoted herself to saving animals during natural and man-made disasters. From her early volunteer work with the Humane Society of Santa Clara Valley, helping stranded pets during local San Francisco Bay area floods and fires, to her recent full-time job as director of Emergency Animal Rescue Services (a nationwide Red Crosstype program for animals), Crisp's dedication and determination are undaunted. During her first rescue mission, Crisp learned first-hand how to aid animals during a flood. Among the 100 animals she helped save were a drowning puppy she clutched from the floodwater, a stranded 300-pound hog, and a cat locked inside a washing machine in a house with the water waist-high. The experience changed her life forever, and she vowed not only to make herself available to help whenever needed but to create something she discovered was sorely lacking-a nationwide animal rescue plan that could be followed during any catastrophe. Over the years, Crisp's work has expanded from local emergencies to national ones. She spent six months organizing clean-up efforts for seabirds and otters after the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska, helped place innumerable homeless animals after Florida's Hurricane Andrew, and set up animal relief services during the devastating St. Charles flood in Missouri. An appendix lists invaluable tips for safeguarding your own dogs, cats, birds, and horses during a disaster. Crisp's highly personalized accounts of daring rescues, incredible volunteer efforts, and the bonds of tenderness that form between humans and animals are quite touching-though at times she can go on about the wonder of it all.

New York: Simon & Schuster Adult Publishing Group, 2005 ABOUT THE BOOK Animals in Translation: Using the Mysteries of Autism to Decode Animal Behavior FROM THE PUBLISHER I don't know if people will ever be able to talk to animals the way Doctor Doolittle could, or whether animals will be able to talk back . Maybe science will have something to say about that. But I do know people can learn to "talk" to animals, and to hear what animals have to say, better than they do now. --From Animals in Translation Why would a cow lick a tractor? Why are collies getting dumber? Why do dolphins sometimes kill for fun? How can a parrot learn to spell? How did wolves teach man to evolve? Temple Grandin draws upon a long, distinguished career as an animal scientist and her own experiences with autism to deliver an extraordinary message about how animals act, think, and feel. She has a perspective like that of no other expert in the field, which allows her to offer unparalleled observations and groundbreaking ideas. People with autism can often think the way animals think, putting them in the perfect position to translate "animal talk." Grandin is a faithful guide into their world, exploring animal pain, fear, aggression, love, friendship, communication, learning, and, yes, even animal genius. The sweep of Animals in Translation is immense and will forever change the way we think about animals. *includes a Behavior and Training Troubleshooting Guide FROM THE CRITICS Publishers Weekly Philosophers and scientists have long wondered what goes on in the minds of animals, and this fascinating study gives a wealth of illuminating insights into that mystery. Grandin, an animal behavior expert specializing in the design of humane slaughter systems, is autistic, and she contends that animals resemble autistic people in that they think visually rather than linguistically and perceive the world as a jumble of mesmerizing details rather than a coherent whole. Animals-cows, say, on their way through a chute-are thus easily spooked by novelties that humans see as trivialities, such as high-pitched noises, drafts and dangling clothes. Other animals accomplish feats of obsessive concentration; squirrels really do remember where each acorn is buried. The portrait she paints of the mammalian mind is both alien and familiar; she shows that beasts are capable of sadistic cruelty, remorse, superstition and surprising discernment (in one experiment, pigeons were taught to distinguish between early period Picasso and Monet). Grandin (Thinking in Pictures) and Johnson (coauthor of Shadow Syndromes) deploy a simple, lucid style to synthesize a vast amount of research in neurology, cognitive psychology and evolutionary biology, supplementing it with Grandin's firsthand observations of animal behavior and her own experiences with autism, engaging anecdotes about how animals interact with each other and their masters, and tips on how to pick and train house pets. The result is a lively and absorbing look at the world from animals' point of view. (Jan.) Forecast: Anyone who's enjoyed the work of Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson-and especially those who liked it but felt it a bit warm and fuzzy in spots-should appreciate this valuable, rigorous book. Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information. Library Journal A high-functioning autistic, Grandin (animal science, Colorado Sate Univ., Thinking in Pictures) has spent a lifetime empathizing with animals. She has also served as a consultant to farmers, ranchers, and slaughterhouses, helping them understand animals and their behavior in order to make their care (and/or slaughter) more humane. Grandin's new book on animal behavior draws on her experiences as both a scientist and an autistic person. Her compelling thesis is that there is a lot we still don't know about animal thought and learning but that her condition provides her with an insight into the issues that other people lack. Autism, Grandin argues, closely mimics the psychological condition of animals, in part because both lack faci. Hardcover. New Condition/New book Jacket. 24 cm.. more information

New York: Random House Publishing Group, 1997 Although women have long felt kinship with animals, they have seldom participated in the study of them. Now, as more women writers and scientists make animals the subject of their investigations, important new ideas are emerging, based on the premise that animals are honored co-sharers of the earth. At the forefront of this international movement stand the editors of this groundbreaking anthology, which includes original stories, essays, meditations, and poems by the best women nature writers and by women field scientists writing about their lives among the animals they study. Publishers Weekly Ranging from Native American folktales to scientific field observations, this book's stories, essays and poems (about 60% of which are original) by women about animals encompass everything from accounts of standoffs with wild bears to memoirs of personal relationships with pets. The editors note that, today, female researchers of animals abound (about 50% of primatologists are women, for example) and contend that these women's observations reveal a "new understanding," an approach and viewpoint toward animals that is different from those of their male counterparts. Seemingly less hindered by an assumption of the naturalness of male dominance and aggression, the women represented here often observe nuances in animal relationships that indicate cooperation, communication, nonprocreative sexuality and "co-dominance" or "mild and unobnoxious" female dominance. Generally, these writers (including Jane Goodall, Ursula K. Le Guin, Barbara Kingsolver, Alice Walker and the late Dian Fossey, among many others) seem more interested in nurturing, leaving alone, understanding, learning from and being healed by animals. Reading their fascinating accounts of close encounters with whales, dolphins, orangutans, bears, wolves, elephants, chimpanzees, birds and horses can, in the editors' words, help begin to "return us to a sacred relationship with the natural world." Library Journal This book brings together stories, poems, essays, and meditations by the editors and more than 70 other prominent female nature writers and field scientists, including Gretel Ehrlich, Ursula K. Le Guin, and Terry Tempest Williams, to show how women are reestablishing their relationship with animals on a basis of respect and empathy. Wildlife researchers like Jane Goodall or Cynthia Moss integrate compassion and intuition with the data they report. Native American women explore the wisdom of tribal elders for lessons on sharing the earth with animals. Women who have nurtured or trained individual animals recount, sometimes humorously, how they learned to communicate across the species barrier. All the contributors celebrate animals as our peers on this planet; many also warn against the loneliness and silence of the wasteland we are creating as we push ever more species to the brink of extinction. This collection should appeal to young adults as well as general adult readers. Recommended for academic and public libraries.Joan S. Elbers, formerly Montgomery Coll., Rockville, Md. Synopsis Although women have long felt kinship with animals, they have seldom participated in the study of them. Now, as more women writers and scientists make animals the subject of their investigations, important new ideas are emerging, based on the premise that animals are honored co-sharers of the earth. At the forefront of this international movement stand the editors of this groundbreaking anthology, which includes original stories, essays, meditations, and poems by the best women nature writers and by women field scientists writing about their lives among the animals they study.

New York: Viking Juvenile, 1995 What happens to an uppity cat when she gets a taste of the "good life"? When Keillor does the spinning, the tale takes a slyly farcical turn, like the best of his Prairie Home Companion radio skits. Bouncy, syncopated verse (adapted from one of Keillor's folksongs) tells of Puff's rise and fall as "the Number One TV cat-food queen" at the same time that it wryly mocks the one-sided relationship between haughty feline and supplicating owner. Feeling underappreciated, Puff departs in a huff to seek her fortune, leaving the despondent narrator wailing, "CAT, YOU BETTER COME HOME." Johnson and Fancher, who previously collaborated on Jon Scieszka's The Frog Prince, Continued, play up the details of Puff's transformation. She is all Hollywood feline femme-fatale, stretched out on a divan in a mink boa, or surrounded by her entourage ("A swimming instructor, and a butler named Bruce/ And a ballet coach, and a German masseuse"?the swimming teacher is a be-goggled octopus, while the butler is a formally attired bloodhound bearing a bowl of goldfish atop a silver tray). The rich, honey-toned paintings accentuate the humor with slightly skewed perspectives; intermittent blocks of text are decorated with cartoonish sketches. Young readers may miss some of the references in the text and the art, but ailurophiles will rejoice. All ages. . Hardcover. Very Good Condition. 11 x 9.4 x 0.4 inches. more information

New York: Stewart, Tabori & Chang, Inc., 2002 Flea Market Fidos is a first of its kind guide to hunting down canine collectibles and giving them pride of place in your home. From paint-by-number terriers to Diana Thorne dog drawings, this irresistibly illustrated volume offers inspiration and information for both first time collectors and serious dog devotees alike. Just rescued a Lucy Dawson book of pup art? Think that sawdust stuffed spaniel might be a Steiff? Need to sniff out tips for displaying your dog treats and treasures? There's no need to beg for answers with Flea Market Fidos on the prowl. Canine categories are illustrated with 200 flea market photos and include Puppy Love (a litter of lovable dog collectibles for children), Pup Art (puppy paintings and dog drawings), Ruff Stuff (stuffed dogs of every breed), Paper Trained (ephermera finds), and Real Tails (a celebration of the loyal road trip rovers who accompany their owners on junking journeys). Readers will also be delighted by Go Fetch, a comprehensive resource guide of the best shops, websites, flea markets, and antique malls in both the United States and abroad. Authors and best friends Leiner and Moss have spent almost twenty years searching the world for canine treasures, discovering and photographing litter after vintage litter of flea market fidos -- and defining the breed along the way. From The Critics Publishers Weekly Dog lovers and kitsch fans watch out: this goofy little giftbook-cum-photo album is stocked to the gills (or should we say whiskers?) with photographs of vintage pooch doorstops, salt-and-pepper shakers, paintings, books and toys. It's "always junking season" for Leiner and Moss, the former a freelance writer and publicist and the latter the author of Hello Kitty, Hello Everything, and they chronicle their flea market finds in chirpy, pun-laden and alliterative paragraphs. Think of items like "puppy potholders, terrier textiles," "woof woof wearables" and "Fido photographs"-and pronouncements along the lines of "no bones about it." For readers who can stomach the prose-or who just like the vibrant pictures-this book is a gold mine of secondhand canine treasures. The photo captions and bits of history (about Marguerite Kirmse, for example, an early 20th century illustrator) are more sedate, and a "Go Fetch" section at the end points readers to antique stores and flea markets around the country.

Lebanon, Indiana, U.S.A.: Abrams,Harry N Inc, 1996 Mention the word pig and people smile. They picture pink skin, a corkscrew tall, and the adorable snout of a piglet. They think of Miss Piggy, Wilbur, and Porky Pig. Pigs have inspired writers from Ovid to Mother Goose and artists from ancient Herculaneum to contemporary Hollywood. Still, people can't decide what to make of pigs. Pigs are so compelling, so mysterious, so contradictory - finicky yet fat, massive yet dainty, stolid yet smart. Humans, uneasy about their role in the life and death of pigs, make images of them that reveal complex feelings of attraction, revulsion, sentimentality, and guilt. In The Ubiquitous Pig, authors Marilyn Nissenson and Susan Jonas take an affectionate look at the many-sided relationship between humans and pigs and the art people have made to reflect that bond. Presented in 165 illustrations, 90 of them in color, are some of the most beguiling, dignified, haunting, cuddly, and ferocious images of pigs from antiquity to the present, along with excerpts from writings about them. Sprinkled throughout are sidebars, aphorisms, and little-known facts about these fascinating but often misunderstood creatures. The relationship between people and pigs has been noted by medical researchers, political cartoonists, and literary figures, including G. K. Chesterton, Thomas Hardy, George Orwell, Charles Lamb, Beatrix Potter, Lewis Carroll, Dylan Thomas, E. B. White, and Harry Truman, who said, "No man should be allowed to be president who does not understand hogs." Representations of pigs are among the earliest works of art, and they have remained a compelling subject for artists as diverse as Hieronymous Bosch, Faberge, Eadweard Muybridge, Winslow Homer, Currier and Ives, Alexander Calder, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Charles Addams, Maurice Sendak, and William Steig. The authors provide a lively introduction, filled with anecdotes and history. A brief bibliography for the hard-core pig fan and an index round out this charming volume. FROM THE CRITICS Library Journal The dictionary suggests the synonyms pervasive , popular , and widespread for the word ubiquitous. Living up to its title, this book is filled with pigs and pig lore. Lavishly illustrated with representatives in every media from porcelain to postcards, it provides a delightful commentary on the affinity between people and pigs. The reader will be introduced to pig facts (``proto-pigs roamed the forests and wetlands of Europe 40 million years ago'') and pig Latin, pigs as pets, banks, political satirists, performers, and of course pork. <blockquote><B> This is not a comprehensive collection of piggy paraphernalia, but the 165 illustrations should satisfy and entertain pig enthusiasts as well as those with only a casual interest. There are other anthologies on the popular pig, but this book is so appealing that all those who passed this reviewer's desk picked it up and paged through it with a smile. Recommended for popular collections. <P> From the witty Calder wire construction, "Sow", that decorates its front cover to its epilogue celebrating the greatest porcine personality of our time--no, not Donald Trump--Miss Piggy, this album of the pig in art is delectable. After a literate, well-informed introduction reviews the swine's place in society, history, art, literature, and religion as well as on the table, Nissenson and Jonas tastefully load the pages with exquisitely reproduced paintings, drawings, photographs, cartoons, objets d'arte, folk art articles (quilts, weathervanes, and such), and literary passages all concerned with the arguably (they'll certainly argue for it) smartest domestic animal. Never has pigging out been made a more charming proposition.. Hardcover. Brand New Condition. 9-1/2 x 12" Oversize. more information

Artists and writers are among the many who value this codependency, and who better to elaborate on this friendship. Forty essays and numerous pages of paintings and photographs run the gamut from touching to boring. William Wegman's photographs are no surprise; the real treats are Jamie Wyeth's confession that he prefers the company of non-humans and his dog portraits. An untitled painting shows a dog sticking its head in a large hole in a tree trunk and its rear end is all we see. Dan Yaccarino brilliantly captures the nervous anxiety of a pug. Tony Mendoza owes a debt to a girlfriend's dog for saving his career, or rather, launching his career as a photographer.

New York: Thomas Dunne Books, 2002 From Library Journal : For years, Randy Grim, founder and executive director of Stray Rescue of St. Louis, has been trying to draw national attention to the literally millions of wild dogs that roam our city streets. He is ostensibly the subject of this book, but Roth, a political writer and native of St. Louis, ultimately focuses on the dogs themselves-which is exactly what Grim would want. Sympathetic but ultimately realistic, Roth acknowledges that these dogs often have major problems and would make good pets for only the most knowledgeable dog people. Yet as Roth describes how Grim was drawn into this crusade, the reader will begin to understand why he cares so much and feel hopeful that with such efforts the situation can indeed change. Despite his own emotional difficulties, Grim emerges as a caring, deeply committed individual whom the reader will like as much for his idiosyncrasies as in spite of them. In recounting one crusader's campaign, Roth does an excellent job of boiling down the nationwide problem of feral and stray dogs to its basic issues.
