Dyr

There are more than 8 million dogs in the U.K. and the French Bulldog is one of the top ten most popular breeds. A dog is for life and this book shows you how to give a puppy a good home and how both dog and owner can enjoy the relationship. The book walks the owner through 'essential things to know' including: microchips; vaccinations; insurance; weight etc. All aspects of care are covered including: the French Bulldog as a puppy; the French Bulldog as a 'teen-ager'; feeding and exercising and dangerous foods to be avoided. Health issues that might arise such as Ear mites, Ticks and Fleas are addressed and a chapter on first aid for your French Bulldog is invaluable. Much more is covered in the book in everyday language that makes it easy to use and understand. French Bulldogs - The Essential Guide is a must for every owner, or potential owner, of this delightful dog.

‘At forstå dyr’ er en bog om kæledyr. Det er en filosofisk bog, men den kan læses af folk uden filosofiske forkundskaber! Den er til kæledyrsejere, som faktisk forstår de dyr, de dagligt omgås, og som de ved, er intelligente og følsomme væsner – uanset hvor meget filosofien og videnskaben har omtalt dyrene som mekaniske og sprogløse instinktvæsner. ‘At forstå dyr’ er skrevet af filosofiprofessoren, men først og fremmest kæledyrsejeren Lars Fr. H. Svendsen. Han inddrager sin hund og sine to katte som eksempler, så de filosofiske tanker, om hvad dyr er, og hvordan man kommunikerer med dem, bliver konkrete og genkendelige.

How to bring nature closer to your home, and the key ways you can learn how to see more of it.

Gustav Steinbrechts Gymnasium of the Horse is one of the great milestones of equestrian literature, alongside Xenophon, de Pluvinel, Newcastle, and de la Gueriniere. It forms a connection and transition between two eras. On one hand, it is the culmination of the equestrian literature of the late 18th century and 19th century that, under the influence of the Industrial Revolution, tried to explain equine biomechanics by comparing the body to a mechanical device. On the other hand, it forms the theoretical foundation for the H. Dv. 12 German Cavalry Manual on the training of horse and rider [Xenophon Press 2014] and its successor, the Richtlinien fuer Reiten und Fahren of the German National Federation. The Gymnasium of the Horse belongs on every dressage riders bookshelf. Its the kind of book that needs to be studied, because every word is chosen deliberately, and every sentence is full of knowledge and meaning. Its a book that needs to be re-read regularly, because with each new reading, your understanding will evolve and deepen. It is a true classic, because it is universally accepted and admired, not only in Germany, but also in the rest of the dressage world, as it contains so much wisdom, so much invaluable advice that even 130 years later, it has lost nothing of its relevance. Steinbrecht formulates rules, principles, and guidelines for horse training more concisely and more sharply than almost any other author. His book has truly stood the test of time.

Samtidig med sin skilsmisse fik Lasse Lavrsen rotter. Alene i sit tomme hus hørte han dem pludselig en nat bide og kradse under gulvet og i murene. De to ulykker var ikke tilfældigt sammentræf, forklarede rotte-fængeren uden strejf af ironi: "De kan mærke den slags." For rotten er ikke et rigtigt dyr. Rotten er en dæmon. En slags djævelsk spejlbillede af selve civilisationen. Hvor vi er, er de. Med videnskabelig grundighed og lidenskabelig væmmelse går journalisten Lasse Lavrsen helt tæt på rottens biologi, kultur-historie og personlighed, og fortæller sideløbende åbent, gribende, morsomt, hårdt og personligt om skilsmissens anatomi i denne bog om … ja, rotter og skilsmisse.

The cats of America are under siege!

'Amazing' GuardianFrom the on-screen experts for BBC2's Cat Watch, and based on their groundbreaking research - this is the ultimate guide to making your cat a happier, more sociable animal.The idea of a trained cat is a contradiction in terms, isn't it? Naturally solitary, wary, easily threatened by newcomers, they are attached to place rather than people, and much of their 'antisocial' behaviour arises in situations where that attachment is threatened. But, as cat experts Sarah Ellis and John Bradshaw argue, such stress-induced behaviour can be prevented, reduced, even eliminated, by training.A comprehensive and engaging step-by-step guide, The Trainable Cat will help you to help your cat negotiate the complexities of everyday life: to enjoy living with humans - including new babies and lively toddlers - and other pets; to answer to their name; settle into a new home; and to overcome the anxiety of a visit to the vet. You can train your cat to do what is in its own best interests - even when its instincts tell it otherwise.
