When Brenton Tarrant live-streamed his massacre of fifty-one Muslims in Christchurch, New Zealand, in March 2019, he was but one in a series of lone-acting white men committing violent crime to further the radical white nationalist aim to save the white race from extinction and establish a white ethnostate. From where did white nationalists get the notion of an ongoing white genocide? Why should 'resistance' against a perceived invasion of 'white' territory be launched by individual 'lone wolves' massacring noncombatants they have no prior relation to? How could slaughtering children be construed as a heroic act that a perpetrator wants to broadcast to the world? Based on a unique collection of interviews with lone wolves, their victims, and their supporters, and a close reading of lone wolf, fascist, and radical nationalist material and communication, this Element provides solid answers to these and adjacent questions of importance.

All my life I desired to experience what my dad felt for my mom. What I loved about him was the way he looked at her, love and adoration shining through his eyes. She meant everything to him, so when she died, it was clear: he stayed alive just for me. In a wolf pack like ours, a death of this kind often leads to vanishing into thin air and going back home to the Moon Goddess. However, being a strong beta as he was, my father refused to accept this ending choosing instead—his example taught admiration even among those who had both parents. For as long as I can remember I have always felt that my father’s love was always there; I never questioned it. My mother had told me many times that we shared a lot in common and I believed her. Consequently, along with finding my mate who is usually found at 16 years old but mine occurred when I made contact with my wolf aged 13 years old. Nevertheless, being older than me and he promised that he will wait until am mature enough to complete our bond together. He was someone whom I could trust completely. However at the age of fifteen all things changed. The alpha sounding from lips which belonged to Percy’s father announced that Denva Woods from Blue Woods Pack would get married next month on his birthday which is three months away from now to Ralph Smit who used to be our babysitter during childhood years. This news left me shattered inside out . The looks of pity and Ralph’s apologetic note only served to deepen the pain further in me. For instance Percy said that it favored pack welfare yet how did it make sense while my heart was tearing apart?

Learn to communicate with your dog—using their language “Good reading for dog lovers and an immensely useful manual for dog owners.”—The Washington Post An Applied Animal Behaviorist and dog trainer with more than twenty years’ experience, Dr. Patricia McConnell reveals a revolutionary new perspective on our relationship with dogs—sharing insights on how “man’s best friend” might interpret our behavior, as well as essential advice on how to interact with our four-legged friends in ways that bring out the best in them. After all, humans and dogs are two entirely different species, each shaped by its individual evolutionary heritage. Quite simply, humans are primates and dogs are canids (as are wolves, coyotes, and foxes). Since we each speak a different native tongue, a lot gets lost in the translation. This marvelous guide demonstrates how even the slightest changes in our voices and in the ways we stand can help dogs understand what we want. Inside you will discover: • How you can get your dog to come when called by acting less like a primate and more like a dog • Why the advice to “get dominance” over your dog can cause problems • Why “rough and tumble primate play” can lead to trouble—and how to play with your dog in ways that are fun and keep him out of mischief • How dogs and humans share personality types—and why most dogs want to live with benevolent leaders rather than “alpha wanna-bes!” Fascinating, insightful, and compelling, The Other End of the Leash is a book that strives to help you connect with your dog in a completely new way—so as to enrich that most rewarding of relationships.
