Alex & Me eBook edition

This slender, easy to read volume is really about two characters- Alex and the author. When scientist Irene Pepperberg wanted to study animal cognition and language, she purchased an African Grey Parrot, who she named Alex. What followed was a thirty-year partnership that rocked the foundations of our understanding of animal intelligence and challenged all previous assumptions of the phrase "birdbrain." Pepperberg writes beautifully, bringing the study of language and cognition to an easily-understood level without dumbing down the impact of her work. Beyond science, however, Pepperberg captures the dignity and personality of Alex, a lovable and admirable creature whose early death was a tragic loss.
There are many funny and touching anecdotes about Alex as an individual who did not always choose to cooperate with research and had his own quirks, thoughts, and feelings.
For scientific information about the research completed with Alex, see the author's book entitled "The Alex Studies".

Beyond science, however, Pepperberg captures the dignity and personality of Alex, a lovable and admirable creature whose early death was a tragic loss.  You will be touched by this book.

Beautiful Insights on Life and Death from the Animals

'Tell Me Where It Hurts' by Nick Trout. This book was amazing! I laughed, I cried, but mostly some of the tales of profound love between humans and animals, gave me chills. Dr. Nick Trout is the vet you wish you had, calling your pet "Cute Thing You.." and working with skill and compassion to keep your animal friend happy and healthy. In the book Dr. Trout condenses his 25 years of veterinary practice into a single very busy day, which starts at 2:47 a.m. with an emergency wake-up call. A 10-year-old German Shepherd with a life-threatening stomach problem requires emergency surgery. Even with a stomach about to burst, the old dog wags her tail when they meet. The book ends late at night, at 10:02 p.m., with this same old dog. What a journey in between. 'Animals in Spirit: Our Faithful Companion' by Penelope Smith. This eBook is a beautiful, heartfelt, and sensitive guide to animals' perspectives on the death and dying process, as well their experiences in the spiritual dimension after leaving the physical body. I would highly recommend this book for anyone who has loved and lost an animal. There is a wonderful exercise for helping people to connect with the spirits of their animal friends who have died, as well as a beautiful grief and memorial ritual contributed by animal communicator Barbara Janelle. My favorite passage in the book is at the very end, in a poetic inspiration that came through Penelope, which states, in part: "Flow with spirit, ever-changing in its guises. See the wildflowers bloom and die and give their seeds to the Earth. Nothing ever really dies or fades. Everything dissolves into unity and flows into another sea or shower or puff of air".

My Favorite Animals

'Cesar's Way' by Cesar Millan. This is a wonderful reference eBook and makes for good reading as well. I bought the eBook to give as a gift to a young couple whose dog needs some behavior modification. I planned to read it quickly and through it to get an idea of its contents, download it, and give it away. However, I ended up reading it word for word and will add it to our library! (I can think of several dog owners and parents who could use the concepts in this book for raising both dogs and children. I will probably end up buying several copies as gifts.) 'Horse People' by Michael Korda. Don't miss this book! It is a warm and wonderful adventure into the world of horses and horse people. Korda is a terrific companion through these pages, witty, hilarious, self-deprecating, but always a superb storyteller. Recommended for anyone who enjoys a ripping good tale, smart and compassionate writing and larger than life characters (equine and human) who leap off the pages. A fast read, a great read, an instant classic! Get the Coupon Code below to receive a Discount on either of these two eBook Titles.

These Two Books Are Very Special!!!!! Great Reads.

'Rescuing Sprite' by Mark R. Levin. This book is just what the title says it's about...the joy and anguish of love. I read the entire book when I received it because I couldn't put it down, except of course to wake my 16 year old Kitty to hug and kiss her (no, she was not happy about that). I commend Mark for sharing so much of his personal life with us and anyone who listens to him KNOWS this is not what he does. This book, by a tough conservative talk show host, is as emotional a book as I have ever read. Anyone who has ever felt the loss of a pet will relate to the utter anguish that the author portrays in a sensitive, well-written way. 'The Last Season' by Eric Blehm. This eBook is an excellent story about one person's love for the Sierra and the special wilderness areas of the National Parks. Eric Blehm has told a page-turning story of an amazingly overlooked, dedicated backcountry wilderness ranger that takes place in some of the most amazing wilderness in the world. I finished it and I wanted more. Blehm gets it right in his depiction of the Sierra Nevada. You can almost taste the crisp morning air as the author describes the sensations of Kings Canyon and surrounding Sierras. This book is one for the library, to be read more than once just to get the feel of the mountains. Get the Coupon Code below to receive a Discount on either of these two eBook Titles.

Rescuing Sprite: A Dog Lover's Story of Joy and Anguish by Levin, Mark R. Although Mark Levin is known as a constitutional lawyer and a nationally syndicated broadcaster, he is, first and foremost, a dog lover. In 1998, he and his family welcomed a half-Border Collie/half-Cocker Spaniel they named Pepsi into their lives. Six years later, his wife and son persuaded him to adopt a dog from the local shelter, a Spaniel mix. It turned out he was older than originally thought, and he was the most beautiful dog they'd ever seen. › More Info Last Season, The eBook edition by Blehm, Eric Destined to become a classic of adventure literature, The Last Season examines the extraordinary life of legendary backcountry ranger Randy Morgenson and his mysterious disappearance in California's unforgiving Sierra Nevada—mountains as perilous as they are beautiful. › More Info

Four Legs Are Better Than Two

'Riding Lessons' by Sara Gruen. This eBook is the perfect crossover novel for teens. They'll be captured by the mystery of who is Hurrah. The first chapter just grabs you, and, for anyone who rides horses, this is an amazing depiction of the relationship between horse and rider. I highly recommend picking up Sara Gruen's other book, 'Water For Elephants', especially if you like this eBook. 'Water For Elephants' has even more maturity in Gruen's writing, but this first book is an amazing accomplishment for a novice writer. I highly recommend 'Riding Lessons'. Enjoy! 'HOWL' by the Bark Editors. The Bark editors are always able to find the best writing on dogs, and they have constructed another winner with this follow up to the much beloved "Dog Is My Co-Pilot".

Pick A Year, Any Year. Ok, How About These Two?

'Rising Tide' Man versus the mighty Mississippi River! The river is freakishly powerful, seemingly a living thing with an intent to go where it pleases. I had never heard of the Mississippi flood before picking up this book. In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, John Barry has become a great narrative and he deserves his new visibility. Barry tells his story with painstaking research and narrative of 75 years surrounding and including 1927. This is a GREAT book worth your time to read. They say, that in order to know the future, you must study the past. Too bad we're still not paying attention !!!!!!!!!!! 'Savage Peace' covers an era in American history I know relatively little about, which brings me back to my point about studying the past. The year 1919 is fascinating. The book does a wonderful job of describing how dramatic this era was. 'Savage Peace' reads like a novel with heroes, villains, treachery, barbarity, and tragedy. One of the best things about this book is that it causes readers to be curious about some of the people and events it touches upon. It leaves you wanting to read ten more like it! Be sure to check below for the coupon code for a discount on these two ebooks.

Rising Tide: The Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 and How It Changed America eBook edition by Barry, John M. An American epic of science, politics, race, honor, high society, and the Mississippi River, Rising Tide tells the riveting and nearly forgotten story of the greatest natural disaster this country has ever known -- the Mississippi flood of 1927. The river inundated the homes of nearly one million people, helped elect Huey Long governor and made Herbert Hoover president, drove hundreds of thousands of blacks north, and transformed American society and politics forever. A New York Times Notable Book of the Year, winner of the Southern Book Critics Circle Award and the Lillian Smith Award. › More Info Savage Peace: Hope and Fear in America, 1919 eBook edition by Hagedorn, Ann Written with the sweep of an epic novel and grounded in extensive research into contemporary documents, Savage Peace is a striking portrait of American democracy under stress. It is the surprising story of America in the year 1919. In the aftermath of an unprecedented worldwide war and a flu pandemic, Americans began the year full of hope, expecting to reap the benefits of peace. But instead, the fear of terrorism filled their days. Bolshevism was the new menace, and the federal government, utilizing a vast network of domestic spies, began to watch anyone deemed suspicious. A young lawyer named J. Edgar Hoover headed a brand-new intelligence division of the Bureau of Investigation (later to become the FBI). Bombs exploded on the doorstep of the attorney general's home in Washington, D.C., and thirty-six parcels containing bombs were discovered at post offices across the country. Poet and journalist Carl Sandburg, recently returned from abroad with a trunk full of Bolshevik literature, was detained in New York, his trunk seized. A twenty-one-year-old Russian girl living in New York was sentenced to fifteen years in prison for protesting U.S. intervention in Arctic Russia, where thousands of American soldiers remained after the Armistice, ostensibly to guard supplies but in reality to join a British force meant to be a warning to the new Bolshevik government. In 1919, wartime legislation intended to curb criticism of the government was extended and even strengthened. › More Info
