DOWNLOAD EBOOK"A new book by Janet Lembke is always a cause for celebration."—Sue Hubbell We share our lives, for better or worse, with a multitude of animals, white-tailed deer and white-tailed eagles, hens and wrens, frogs and guppies, and, last but hardly least, bugs and bacteria. For the most part, we drift along separately, with neither man nor animal affecting the other's way of life. Sometimes, however, we fall in love—as in the case of the cat in the title—or otherwise encounter our animal neighbors in ways that change both of us. Lembke challenges her readers to consider the idea that all creatures are conscious, with the ability to make choices, exercise awareness, and seek pleasure while shunning pain. Rarely has a book of natural history covered such a broad range of subjects, from the everyday bargains we make with our pets and other domestic creatures to descriptions of bungee-cord snail sex and the purpose of a honeybee's sting. Lembke explores the evolution of her subjects, and draws on literature and myth to paint gorgeous, wide-ranging portraits of everyday (and more unusual) encounters, such as that of a gardener and a groundhog, or a chicken egg and Augustus Caesar's wife. This is a sensitive and timely appraisal of how we treat the creatures we share our planet with—and how we ought to. It is a book that no lover of intelligent writing about the natural world will want to miss. 20 b/w illustrations.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOnly Cats Purr offers simple analogies and colorful illustrations to help explain autism to any audience. It draws a correlation to the differences between cats and dogs and the differences between autistic and typical children. Autism is a neurological disorder that never presents the same way. A child affected by autism may look like a typical child making it even more difficult to recognize or understand. This is why it is important to be familiar with autism indicators especially in social situations. This book helps to bridge the divide between an autistic child being different and an autistic child being accepted for who they are. Children and adults alike will enjoy the engaging dialogue as they decide what kind of dog they are and how this relates to the "cat" or autistic child in their life. It suggests using their differences as clues and dialing into their super power of empathy to befriend and reach a child with autism. In the back is a list of the corresponding cat characteristics that draw a parallel to autistic indicators included in the book. Only Cats Purr is one step in creating more understanding and empathy in a world where autism is incredibly prevalent. This book would be a useful tool in classrooms and at home to provide a new perspective in the special needs community. Awareness creates acceptance and in acceptance we find appreciation. Being different isn't bad. It can be easy to love someone who is the same as you. It is an adventure to love someone who is different.
