DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe uplifting tale of life lessons learned from three passionate, energetic and wise Boxer dogs that popped into Angela’s life and imparted their knowledge and doggie wisdom at times when she needed it most. After watching her three tan and white male Boxer dogs – Towser, Sammie and Max – and how they spent their days, Angela realises that her dogs instinctively know how to enjoy themselves and to fill their days savouring each and every moment. It’s as if her dogs knew something she didn’t, or paid attention to the things she should have. Despite their oftentimes questionable behaviour, which has her racing to the vet on several occasions, vacuuming the backyard (yes, you read that right), setting up a stakeout to catch Sammie swinging from the clothesline, erecting an electric fence around the garden, and a very embarrassing moment at a dog show, their special kind of insight teaches Angela important character traits like patience, perseverance and resourcefulness. While the life lessons are unique to say the least, there’s no mistaking that each was cloaked in affection and dispensed with boundless energy. It makes her think about how simple a dog’s life is, how much they seem to get out of it, and the lessons we could all learn from them if only we took the time to watch. Website address

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhile observing exotic animal trainers for her acclaimed book Kicked, Bitten, and Scratched, journalist Amy Sutherland had an epiphany: What if she used these training techniques with the human animals in her own life–namely her dear husband, Scott? In this lively and perceptive book, Sutherland tells how she took the trainers’ lessons home. The next time her forgetful husband stomped through the house in search of his mislaid car keys, she asked herself, “What would a dolphin trainer do?” The answer was: nothing. Trainers reward the behavior they want and, just as important, ignore the behavior they don’t. Rather than appease her mate’s rising temper by joining in the search, or fuel his temper by nagging him to keep better track of his things in the first place, Sutherland kept her mouth shut and her eyes on the dishes she was washing. In short order, Scott found his keys and regained his cool. “I felt like I should throw him a mackerel,” she writes. In time, as she put more training principles into action, she noticed that she became more optimistic and less judgmental, and their twelve-year marriage was better than ever. What started as a goofy experiment had such good results that Sutherland began using the training techniques with all the people in her life, including her mother, her friends, her students, even the clerk at the post office. In the end, the biggest lesson she learned is that the only animal you can truly change is yourself. Full of fun facts, fascinating insights, hilarious anecdotes, and practical tips, What Shamu Taught Me About Life, Love, and Marriage describes Sutherland’s Alice-in-Wonderland experience of stumbling into a world where cheetahs walk nicely on leashes and elephants paint with watercolors, and of leaving a new, improved Homo sapiens.
Empirical Realism

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"Only in the darkest of hours will a few seriously entertain the haunting possibility, almost unthinkable, that at the end of the day our best sense of the world, and of what is abidingly good, is an error." Does then the universe really have a guiding moral structure which is at once integral to the quality of human life? Empirical Realism is Clark's sustained, challenging and original argument for moral realism, one which not only provides the badly needed account of normativity--of what it is exactly that constitutes genuine moral obligation--but which also anchors that account within a comprehensive philosophical theory. The author's position, rigorously developed and defended, provides a trek through issues central to classical and contemporary philosophy. Masterfully navigating his readers through the global realism/antirealism debate in Parts I and II, his erudition--sensitive yet unflinching--knows no shortcuts. David Clark's first book goes on to show how intrinsic value, a value which is inherent and not conferred, is the independently real feature which both generates obligation and is the ground by which it is to be honored. This three-Part text has direct implications for metaphysics, epistemology, philosophy of mind, value theory, environmental ethics, and moral theory generally.

Now, in Before Your Dog Can Eat Your Homework, First You Have to Do It, John once again finds himself seeking the wisdom of a canine companion. After years of parenting pets, last December, he became a father to his first child, William.
