Book in very good condition but the front cover does show evidence of a long ago fold - when the book actually reached the shops it had a different cover - the story itself remained unchanged.   >>>   This author is amazing. I have liked everything I have read of his. This was a superb story of self realization and coming into your own. I want to go back and pick out the really good quotes. There were a lot of them. Nice book. I would like to read more of his work.   (Librarything)   *N.B.*   If you buy more than one book from me on the same day you only pay R 6 extra postage for each of the additional books - See what else I have to offer, it might just be worth your while.

This item is sold brand new. It is ordered on demand from our supplier and is usually dispatched within 7 - 11 working days As an unabashed dog lover, Alexandra Horowitz is naturally curious about what her dog thinks and what she knows. As a cognitive scientist she is intent on understanding the minds of animals who cannot say what they know or feel. This is a fresh look at the world of dogs -- from the dog's point of view. The book introduces the reader to the science of the dog -- their perceptual and cognitive abilities -- and uses that introduction to draw a picture of what it might be like to bea dog. It answers questions no other dog book can -- such as: What is a dog's sense of time? Does she miss me? Want friends? Know when she's been bad? Horowitz's journey, and the insights she uncovered from studying her own dog, Pumpernickel, allowed her to understand her dog better, and appreciate her more through that understanding. The reader will be able to do the same with their own dog. Inside of a Dogwill allow dog owners to look at their pets' behaviour in a different, and revealing light, enabling them to understand their dogs and enjoy their relationship even more.

 Big Bend - a History of the Swaziland Bushveld - Peter J. Gosnell - 2001 - Paperback in good, clean and tight condition. From the days when the Swazi kings gave land to the Voortrekkers to form a barrier against Zulu raids, to modern day agri-businesses, this book charts the events, struggles and personalities behind the turbulent history of the of the Swaziland Bushveld. The pioneers battled malaria, wildebeest migrations, wild dogs, locusts, tsetse fly, floods and droughts in their isolated corner of Africa. The history of Big Bend is unique in many ways. Its isolation and the rigours of existence developed a breed of tough, often eccentric farmers and traders. The book charts the lives and lifestyles of these men, and the crimes and passions which shaped the district, set against the backdrop of the unique story of Swaziland itself. Most of the book is based on original research; it is a valuable addition to Swaziland's pre-colonial, colonial and post independence history.

Yale University Press, 2007. Hard cover. 283 pages. Very good condition; like new. Under  1kg. Nearly a decade of fiercely divisive debate over foxhunting in Britain culminated with passage of the Hunting with Dogs Act of 2004. But the battle over the future of hunting is not yet resolved, and polarizing right-or-wrong debates continue undiminished. This lively book recounts the long and colorful history of hunting in Britain and offers a fresh perspective on today’s conflicts.   Since William the Conqueror declared wild animals royal property and thereby provoked a burning hatred among his subjects, hunting of all kinds has been a source of social conflict in Britain. The sport is deeply entwined with questions of land and power, class divisions, and social mores. Blood Sport explores these large themes, brings them alive with surprising details and vignettes, and considers how hunting traditions have affected British national identity. Bringing the discussion fully up to date, the book concludes with a thought-provoking critique of current hunting controversies.

Paperback. English. Dogwise Publishing. 2002. In good condition. Reprint. Written in 1950, this book was the first to thoroughly analyze, illustrate and explain the under-the-skin workings of the dog. It shows the breeder, fancier, and judge that the principles of movement apply to all breeds. While some of the theories have since been disproved, the book still deserves to be in the serious dog person's library because it is the foundation for all gait and locomotion books which have since been written. The modern breed, judge and fancier will learn: *To put functional soundness above all else *Why the trot shows the faults and virtues of a dog's running gear. *That every animal that moves can teach us about functional conformation *Why a dog must be dynamically balanced to function efficiently. *That no dog can be any better than his bone placement, conformation and muscle tone *How to develop a thorough knowledge of dogs in order to interpret a breed standard.

Paperback. English. Granta Books. 2004. ISBN: 9781862077185. 216pp. Fair/good condition in paperback. By the author of the best-selling Straw Dogs, this book is a characteristically trenchant and unflinchingly clear-sighted collection of reflections on our contemporary lot. Whether writing about the future of our species on this planet, the folly of our faith in technological progress, or the self-deceptions of the liberal establishment, John Gray dares to be heretical like few other thinkers today.
