This centuries old friendship is due, in part, to the dog's ability to be trained. Dogs are pack animals and will instinctively follow the orders of the leader of the pack - the owner. Dogs are intelligent animals, and, like people, they learn at different rates, but with a little patience and consistency all dogs, with few exceptions, should be able to be trained to come when called, to walk calmly beside their masters, and to lie down quietly and obediently. A well-trained dog will not beg from the table; he won't destroy the furniture in your living room or the roses in your garden. Through photographs and text, this comprehensive guide demonstrates the techniques for training your dog, whether your goal is to enter your dog in obedience competition or simply to have a well-trained pet. For those contemplating the show world, the rules and regulations for bench shows are also thoroughly explained.***** *.*.*.*.* A scan of the cover is available.. (more information)

Since the dawn of civilization, people have employed animals to share their work. Until the age of machines, most heavy work was consigned to horses, camels, elephants, asses and oxen. Now we draw on an animal's innate intelligence and instincts; for example, dogs are trained to guide the blind through a busy street, to track down wanted criminals, to rescue injured mountaineers; horses are taught to respond calmly to a riot; a pigeon will carry messages over vast distances. Animals are also widely used in the entertainment industry and in sport. And, controversially, they are used in scientific research and experiments. This book explores, in words and pictures, the many, and often unexpected, ways in which humans and animals work together.***** *.*.*.*.* A scan of the cover is available.. (more information)

Houghton Mifflin 1986, 1st thus. (Paperback) *.*.*.*.*Good. *.*.*.*.* 216pp. *.*.*.*.* *.*.*.*.* Some spine and cover wear and creasing. *.*.*.*.* Beginning birdwatchers face many frustrations: birds, it seems, are constantly in motion, taking flight before the fledgling birder can turn to a photograph or drawing that might help pinpoint its identification. The experienced birdwatcher, Edward Cronin writes in this friendly manual, is by contrast able to identify a dozen species in a few seconds, which compounds the beginner's lack of self-confidence. Never fear, Cronin reassures us: The magician's trick of rapidly identifying species is, in truth, based on a logical procedure that anyone can master. One great secret, he goes on to say, is that most often a bird is what it appears to be: a pigeon is a pigeon, a duck a duck. Another great secret is to know that what is missing is often more important than what is there: a bird lacking a broad bill is unlikely to eat much fish and is therefore unlikely to be that duck. Cronin provides a well-structured set of lessons in how to apply these and other principles. The book closes with a sequence of checklists for the United States, broken into regions. *.*.*.*.* A scan of the cover is available. *.*.*.*.* Illustrations by: Gordon Morrison.. (more information)

There is a small date in the bottom right corner of the first page of the book. *.*.*.*.* The idea that animals communicate with each other is as old as mankind. Only recently, however, has the study of animal communication emerged as a formal entity in science. This book is an attempt to present some of the concepts that are emerging and to illustrate them with selected examples drawn from an extensive literature on behavior of all animals, from protozoa to mammals. It is not meant to be an exhaustive treatise, but is intended primarily for nonspecialists - students, specialists in other scientific fields, and educated laymen. The use of chemical, acoustical, tactile, and optical communication signals for identification of species and sex, social cooperation, mating, and rearing of young are discussed. The importance of communication in evolution and the possible impact of communication studies on biological thought are explored. Methods for studying animal communication are briefly described, and possible practical applications of present knowledge are suggested. *.*.*.*.* A scan of the cover is available..

Bald eagles have been revered as symbols of majesty, grace, and power; yet the birds have suffered throughout history from senseless persecution and relentless destruction of their habitat. The result has been the decimation of the species in North America. In this book, Jon Gerrard and Gary Bortolotti document hope for a resurgence of bald eagle populations. Through aerial surveys, the authors discovered the nests of a remote eagle population at Besnard Lake in Saskatchewan. Their banding and tracking of these birds over the years has added to the understanding of the growth and migration of the bald eagle population throughout North America.********** *.*.*.*.* A scan of the cover is available..
