Three Rivers Press, 2007

helpful tips
I purchased this product after viewing a collection of Cesar's dvd's. They don't provide "How to..." for training a dog to do "Things"(sit, down, etc.) but they are very insightful in understanding how to have a good relationship with your pet as dog and master. The ...

John Gray

Harper Paperbacks, 2004

Great Guidebook
A lot has been said already about this book over the years since it first hit the shelves, and I'm not sure I can offer any new information. I believe everybody should either read this book or books like it. We all need a greater understanding; not just of others (our ...

Leaving the intellectual muddle out of it, this is a book you'll want to own as a glorious idea generator

he should be reading the counterpart. it's not all on you, girl!
I agree with other reviewers that this may encourage women to be less assertive of their needs and more understanding when their husbands are doing things the don't understand/agree with. This book did help me understand my man but he's still accountable for his ...

Funny and well-written!
I absolutely loved this book! It is well-written, and has short-sequenced blurbs about such ideas as Zeno's Paradox (logic), Applied Ethics, and Existentialism, in addition to others. I almost fell onto the floor with one particular illustration of two ducks standing ...

Understanding by Design, Expanded 2nd Edition

Grant Wiggins, Jay McTighe

Prentice Hall, 2005

Good info, a little redundant

On Talking Terms With Dogs: Calming Signals

Turid Rugaas

Dogwise Publishing, 2005

On Talking Terms with Dogs: Calming Signals
This is a book, IMO, that every person should read. When you read this book and observe your dog or other dogs somewhere, you will see just what they are saying. To think, I thought for a long time, that when a dog "yawned" he was tired. I find myself looking for ...

The Other End of the Leash

Patricia McConnell

Ballantine Books, 2003

It Was Great
Don't go into this book expecting a manual and you will not be disappointed. It's a conversationally delivered comparisson of primates and canid behaviors, and how they sometimes (often) conflict, with some stories that make it all seem more relevant to real life, ...
