Barnes & Noble, 1996 Near-new condition. NO remainder marks or price clippings - Tight spine - Bright pages. 203 pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. - In this unique study, Psychic Animals, well-known psychic investigator Dennis Bardens presents a persuasive body of evidence revealing and documenting remarkable feats of telepathy, precognition and long-distance perception, as well as other mysterious phenomena of the animal kingdom. Throughout the ages animals of all kinds have displayed amazing powers of psychic intelligence, which have often proved as bizarre and inexplicable as any strictly human paranormal experiences. Among the many fascinating accounts of extraordinary animal behavior included here are the stories of the horse that helped police locate the body of a murdered boy, the stowaway dog that sailed 5,000 miles to find his master, and the seagull that sought help for an injured woman. The unusual bonds that can be forged between people and animals in the everyday world are demonstrated in the fact that monkeys have learned to be personal attendants for quadriplegics! Throughout history, too, there have been instances of dolphins saving swimmers from drowning, and scientists today are seriously interested in the evidence that various species of creatures seem to give advance warning of natural disasters such as earthquakes. Even more puzzling are the extraordinary tales of ghostly cats and dogs, phantom horses and other supernatural occurrences that have been observed by credible human witnesses. The author explores a rich range of these instances and also examines the human tendency since ancient times to worship animals as gods.. Hard Cover.

London: The Pushkin Press , 1945 Very-nice copy of this SCARCE and collectible book. This book originally was presented to Dr. Smith Petersen by Marie Bonaparte. Dr. Smith Petersen (1886-1953) was a famous and pioneering orthopedic surgeon - especially hip joint surgery. - The dustcover shows wear and tear - mainly at the bottom of the spine. Silver with black lettering at the top half - photo of Topsy on bottom-half of dustcover. Inside bottom dustcover flap has been clipped. Book has cream-colored boards with gilt lettering. Several photos inside book. Tight spine - Bright pages - NO tears inside book. ONLY writing/mark inside the book is the rather lengthy, hand-written inscription by Bonaparte: "For Doctor Smith Petersen, this record of the struggle between Life & Death in a humble creature, who for me was a dear friend. With my grateful thoughts - Marie Bonaparte (Princess of Greece & Denmark) Nortou, 1951." Bonaparte's significant and historical relationship with Sigmund Freud is related below. In addition, she is the person who gave Freud his beloved Chow dogs - often seen in photos with him. IF you would like to see photos of the book and inscription, please email. - Princess Marie Bonaparte (1882-1962) was a French psychoanalyst, closely linked with Sigmund Freud. Her wealth contributed to the popularity of psychoanalysis, and enabled Freud's escape from Nazi Germany. Marie Bonaparte was a great-grand-niece of Napoleon I of France. She was a daughter of Roland Bonaparte (19 May 1858 - 14 April 1924) and Marie-Félix Blanc (1859-1882). Her paternal grandfather was Pierre Napoleon Bonaparte, son of Lucien Bonaparte, and nephew of Napoleon. Her maternal grandfather was François Blanc, the principal real-estate developer of Monte Carlo. She was born at Saint-Cloud, a town in Hauts-de-Seine, Île-de-France. Her mother died of an embolism induced by giving birth to Marie. On 21 November 1907, at Paris, she married Prince George of Greece in a civil ceremony, with a subsequent religious ceremony on 12 December 1907, at Athens. She was thereafter officially also known as Princess Marie of Greece and Denmark. They had two children, Peter (1908-1980) and Eugénie (1910-1988). Marie consulted Sigmund Freud for treatment of her own frigidity, a cure which can be said to have backfired, as she later conducted affairs with Freud's disciple Rudolf Loewenstein, as she had with the Prime Minister of France, Aristide Briand. It was to Marie Bonaparte that Sigmund Freud remarked, "The great question that has never been answered and which I have not yet been able to answer, despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul, is ‘What does a woman want?’". On 2nd June 1953, Marie and her husband Prince George represented their nephew, King Paul of Greece, at the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in London. Bored with the pomp and ceremony, Marie offered to psychoanalyse the gentleman seated next to her who was the future French president François Mitterrand. Mitterrand obliged Marie and the couple barely witnessed any part of the coronation, but found their activities far more interesting than the lengthy and formal ceremony. She practiced as a psychoanalyst until her death in 1962; among her many services to the cause of psychoanalysis were paying Freud's ransom to the authorities of Nazi Germany, support of Geza Roheim's anthropological explorations, and preserving Freud's letters to Wilhelm Fliess despite Freud's wish that they be destroyed. She founded the French Institute of Psychoanalysis (Société Psychanalytique de Paris SPP) in 1926. She died of leukemia in Saint-Tropez, was cremated in Marseilles, and her ashes were interred in Prince George's tomb at Tatoï, near Athens. Her story of her relationship with Sigmund Freud and how she helped his family escape into exile was made into a movie. Princesse Marie was directed by Benoît Jacquot and starred Catherine Deneuve as Marie Bonaparte, and Heinz Bennent as Sigmund Freud. It came out in 2004. Signed by Author. Hard Cover.

Covers are clean and bright (NO tears). 306 pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. Synopsis In 1985, silently as fog on little cat feet, cats padded past dogs as America's most popular domestic companion animal. While cat owners love their purring, fuzzy friends, cats can have another, rather unpleasant, side. Some cats spray; defecate and urinate on carpets, in corners, in shoes, on visitors' leather jackets; shred upholstery; chomp houseplants; ambush guests; caterwaul at all hours; and scratch and bite children, sometimes causing serious injuries and infections. Skeptics will claim that it's impossible to train a cat. Happily, Wendy Christensen knows they're wrong. True, cats are intelligent, adaptable, patient, independent, stubborn, observant, and extremely quick learners. But they're also remarkably self-interested and quick to exploit a good deal. Outwitting a cat means persuading the cat that what you want is also what he wants. Whatever your immediate, urgent specific cat problem-aggression, bullying, clinginess, refusal to eat-you'll find answers here. Wendy Christensen can tell you what works-and what doesn't. What to do right away-and what never to do. She'll share tips and cat-and-owner-tested secrets to reversing, redirecting, and solving-for good-even the thorniest behavior problems. And she'll tell you how to head off future problems, simply by understanding how your cat thinks. . Trade Paperback. Near-Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. more information

Tight spine, bright pages. Very-nicely illustrated with photographs. 205 pages. Synopsis In a world dominated by video games, voice mail, and television, it's easy to overlook the importance of the written word. If one very important thing parents can do to help their children learn is read to them, then encouraging them to write must run a close second. What better -- and more rewarding -- way to teach a child these invaluable communication skills than through letter writing? In her warm and engaging text, Mrs. Clinton suggests ways parents can help their children initiate and enjoy the experience of writing and receiving letters, sharing her family's (and pets') experience, and explains how letters to Socks and Buddy are received, sorted, and answered at the U.S. Soldiers' and Airmen's Home. Mrs. Clinton gives a brief "pet history" of the White House, from Dolley Madison's parrot and Teddy Roosevelt's children's menagerie to the Bushes' English springer spaniel Millie. She also talks about the ways Socks and Buddy participate in White House life, such as greeting guests and visiting hospitals and nursing homes. Fans of the First Pets will be delighted by a section on their vital statistics (Socks' tail length: 1 foot; Buddy's snout length: 5 inches) and answers to the questions most asked by correspondents ("Do you have room service?"). In Dear Socks, Dear Buddy, Mrs. Clinton also shares more than fifty letters children have sent the nation's First Pets, from a simple request for a "paw-tograph" to more exacting notes of good wishes ("I want to give you a big heart, as big as the whole world") and generous advice ("Just because they went on a trip and didn't take you doesn't mean they don't love you any more"). Illustrated with more than eightyphotographs of Socks and Buddy on the job and at play in the White House, this book will inspire children to share their ideas and wishes through writing..

NO writing, marks or tears inside book. For fans of felines and connoisseurs of photography: exquisite portraits of cats young and old, serene and manic, affectionate and aloof.

NO writing, marks or tears. - Through a kaleidoscope of contrasting portraits, author Lee Gutkind chronicles the daily life, motivations, and eccentricities of today's veterinary doctors, their patients, and their patients' human owners. In the spirit of Herriot, Gutkind brings readers into the next generation of the veterinary art, introducing an equally impassioned lot of doctors whose ability to communicate with their patients in a language of touch eliminates the need for words. Animal lovers of all kinds will love this book; Gutkind takes us behind the scenes to observe the care given to, and the communication shared with, dogs and cats, horses and elephants, dolphins and reindeer, to name a few. Along the way he explores the ethical dilemmas, creative thinking, and complex challenges involved in a veterinarian's daily work. The intrigue of medical research and diagnosis is woven throughout - from a multimillion-dollar veterinary complex where doctors attempt to discover why a prize racehorse mysteriously quits near the end of every race to a medical facility where researchers study sleep apnea in humans by examining the facial construction of bulldogs. These stories reveal a community of doctors whose unique dedication and compassion may serve as a model for the entire medical profession. . Hard Cover.

Tight spine, bright pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. 196 pages. Synopsis A war memoir that will capture the hearts of its readers, just as one scruffy puppy snuck his way into the hearts of hardened Marines just when they needed it most. Publishers Weekly The news from Iraq keeps getting grimmer, but Iraq veteran Kopelman and journalist Roth (The Man Who Talks to Dogs) tell a tale of radiant joy about Kopelman's efforts to safely transport Lava, the stray dog his Marine unit found in the wreckage of Fallujah, back to the U.S. Though the premise sounds cloying, Kopelman and Roth eschew sentimentality. They don't hesitate to detail the corruption of the Coalition Provisional Authority and the U.S. military bureaucracy or the extreme hardships of the Iraqi people. Kopelman's nagging qualms about keeping the dog in violation of military orders throw into relief his efforts to repress his guilt over working so hard to save a dog amid so much human suffering. Most bracing are the frank descriptions of the war's moral vacuum, where terrified men and women like the dogs that Iraqi insurgents strap with bombs and send charging into the enemy are driven to commit unspeakable acts they cannot possibly understand. The story of Lava's journey out of Iraq is exciting, but it's to Kopelman and Roth's credit that it's not nearly as harrowing as the story of what the dog left behind. 8 pages of b&w photos. (Oct.) Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information. Biography Jay Kopelman is a former lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Marine Corps; he was last stationed at Camp Pendleton, California. A competitive bicyclist, Jay lives in La Jolla, California, with his wife, Pam Godde, stepson, their two dogs, Lava and Koda, and Cheddar the cat.
