Don't let the little cover fool you!.......2003-03-11

This is a wonderful book for dog-lovers about our best friends! This thick book is filled full of BEAUTIFUL black and white photographs (of which the majority have not previously been seen) of all different kinds of dogs and their humans, ranging from yesteryear to present day. Accompanying the wonderful photos are lovely quotes and poems about these little furry miracles that God has blessed us with. I highly recommend this book! Enjoy!

Book Description

The first question to answer when bringing a newly acquired dog into the home is: “What shall we call him—or her?” This delightful little book offers guidelines and suggestions to help pet owners come up with the perfect answer. For instance, what is the canine's type and character? (It would be plain silly, for example, to name a Great Dane Fluffy; or to call a male canine of any breed, Brenda.) But you might want to make a fashion statement, or say something about yourself when you name that pooch. (For instance, a music lover might bless his puppy with a name like Beethoven or Vivaldi.) Perhaps the author's wisest suggestion is to hold a family conference, simply to make certain that everybody—including the dog—is comfortable with the new name. Here, in any event, are 1000 ideas for naming that puppy. They're listed alphabetically, and enhanced with dozens of endearing color photos.

Book Description

The wolf, a common metaphor for vice in medieval Christian literature, is today an iconic symbol of the intense fear and insecurity that some associate with the middle ages. In reality, responses to wolves varied across medieval Europe. Although not dependent on the wilderness, wolves were conceptually linked to this environment - which although on the fringes of medieval society, became increasingly exploited from the eighth to fourteenth centuries, so bringing people and livestock closer to the wolf.This book compares responses to wolves, focusing on two regions, Britain and southern Scandinavia. It looks at the distribution of wolves in the landscape, their potential impact as predators on both animals and people, and their use as commodities, in literature, art, cosmology and identity. It also investigates the reasons (both practical and cultural) for the eradication of wolves in England, but their survival on the Scandinavian peninsula.

Inaccurate - what more can I say?.......2005-12-31

Well, they must not have much to do down at the Medical College of Ohio! Seems these animal researchers decided the best use of tax payers money was to gather together a bunch of news clippings (true or not) and put them in an impressive looking book so people would think they were accurate...

They aren't. I found many glaring errors. For example, one "pit bull fatality" listed as happening in Seattle, Washington never even happened - at all! We've had two Briards kill a woman in Port Orchard, a Siberian husky kill and consume a child in Lacey, a rottweiler kill a young girl that climbed into their yard on the eastside and a rottweiler kill a 5 year old child in Kent - but no pit bulls killing anyone in Seattle!

Many of the reports are for dogs which were later noted to NOT be pit bulls.

This book is a testiment to the kind of waste of our tax payers money that goes on at Universities.

An invaluale, albeit enormous reference.......2003-09-04

While it is true that this is an enormous listing of newspaper articles on pit bulls up to 1986, it really is not a waste of time or "trees." This book was a huge help to our law firm while we were obtaining infomation for a case. In fact, it was invaluable as a resource. We tracked many of these abstracts down to their original sources and the reference info was absolutely accurate.

This is obviously not meant to be a book that you would sit down to read; it is a reference and a really good one at that. Particularly valuable is the fact that many of the articles are from hard to find or "underground" sources (as well as more mainstream newspapers, journals etc). While it is true that many of the articles report on the negative aspects of this breed of dog (including the cruelty of fighting them), I highly doubt the authors/editors tried to seek out only negative reports. Instead, my quess is that these are the kinds of articles that were being written at the time on which the book reports. In fact, I assume the whole thrust of the book is that during this time, pitbulls had suddenly come into the media eye for all the reasons we all know about: that people fight them, abuse them and cause them to become viscious. Lastly, while the editorial notes are a little brief, they are helpful, often providing the necessary context for the articles. So, in summation, don't be negatively influenced by other reviewers who perhaps didnt understand the purpose of the book. If you need research info on pitbulls, wow is this a jackpot!

One sidded trash........2003-01-02

This book is a very one sidded view of negative news paper and other articles collected that sheds only a bad light on this breed of dog. This type of "journalism" is very dangerous.

wasted trees.......2002-11-20

Eh gads! I hope these people really dont consider themselves authors after this!

Just a laundry list of bad news.......2002-05-12

All this book contains are abbreviated and one sided news reports on incidents involving pit bulls. There is no author, no opinion, no photogaphs and no real substance to this book. It seems to have been created to just be a collection of dry straight forward abstracts and can only be viewed as a reference for that. Absolutely uninteresting.

What's Its Name? 1000 Ways to Dub Your Dog
John Gordon
Manufacturer: Shoal Bay Press
ProductGroup: Book
Binding: Paperback
ASIN: 0908704976

Book Description

From Apollo to Xerox, Abby to Toss, Baggins to Zulu and Haka to Puluto, What's Its Name is surely the most extensive list of dog names ever published - and certainly the most tongue-in-cheek. But among John Gordon's typically absurd similes, excruciatingly bad puns and gentle leg pulling there is a deep underlying affection for dogs of all shapes, sizes and breeds, and the various traits, physical and mental, that they can exhibit.

Above all, the 1600 plus names are a useful guide to people seeking inspiration in finding the right moniker for their mutt. In all but a few cases, there's an explanation of the meaning, relevance and history of the name. For all those who love dogs, and those who just keep books about them (much quieter and don't need feeding), this delightful book is a must.
