INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER An incredible, revolutionary true story and surprisingly simple guide to teaching your dog to talk from speech-language pathologist Christina Hunger, who has taught her dog, Stella, to communicate using simple paw-sized buttons associated with different words. When speech-language pathologist Christina Hunger first came home with her puppy, Stella, it didn’t take long for her to start drawing connections between her job and her new pet. During the day, she worked with toddlers with significant delays in language development and used Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices to help them communicate. At night, she wondered: If dogs can understand words we say to them, shouldn’t they be able to say words to us? Can dogs use AAC to communicate with humans? Christina decided to put her theory to the test with Stella and started using a paw-sized button programmed with her voice to say the word “outside” when clicked, whenever she took Stella out of the house. A few years later, Stella now has a bank of more than thirty word buttons, and uses them daily either individually or together to create near-complete sentences. How Stella Learned to Talk is part memoir and part how-to guide. It chronicles the journey Christina and Stella have taken together, from the day they met, to the day Stella “spoke” her first word, and the other breakthroughs they’ve had since. It also reveals the techniques Christina used to teach Stella, broken down into simple stages and actionable steps any dog owner can use to start communicating with their pets. Filled with conversations that Stella and Christina have had, as well as the attention to developmental detail that only a speech-language pathologist could know, How Stella Learned to Talk will be the indispensable dog book for the new decade.
When Harley Trapp helps rescue a puppy abandoned by a dumpster, she has no idea it'll have her crossing paths with the grandson of America's most eccentric billionaire. She also has no idea that from the very same day, she'll be butting heads with him in a fierce battle to keep the town of Blue Gap from turning into another one of his gentrified tourist traps. Meanwhile, Alistair Locke is trying to save this run-down town that's home to the cryptic gift his grandfather's given him, a tiny, ugly animal shelter that really should be put out of its misery. And he's going to do exactly that - to the whole place: he's ready to transform Blue Gap into the most famous, and more importantly, most profitable destination in all of Virginia. It's a win-win for everybody, he thinks, until the great-niece of the local mayor plants herself in his path and tells him otherwise. And demands one of his shelter's puppies for herself, no less. She wants him to leave. He wants her to see sense. There's no way they can compromise, and only one of them is going to get what they want. Between instant enmity, opposing visions, and one lost puppy that always seems to draw them together, the lazy town of Blue Gap might not be ready for a clash like this.
A collection of Creeley's work gathered from obsolesced collections, small press booklets and little mags. Here one can trace the development of his poetry from its early break with the Eliot/Auden tradition to the development of his own distinct voice in the middle poems, such as Words and Pieces, known for their precise, terse and almost minimalist language, as well as his return to the more direct concern for love and humanity. Restores to print--For Love, The Charm, In London, His Idea, Thirty Things, Backwards, Away and previously uncollected poems.
