Luna Howls at the Moon
by Kristin O'Donnell TubbThe award-winning author of A Dog Like Daisy returns with a moving middle grade novel from the point of view of Luna, a Labrador therapy dog who accompanies her group therapy kids when they set off on an adventure across Austin, Texas. Luna has always wanted to be a therapy dog at Therapy Dogs Worldwide. Now she’s a whisker away from reaching her fifty-visit pin that will make it official. But when her “clients”—the children who visit her—are put into a therapy group, Luna’s routine is upended. Like the moon, Luna shows different faces at different times. And her clients each have different needs—Beatrice is tangled in knots of anger, Caleb rushes like a waterfall, Amelia carries fear heavy like a shadow, and Hector is quiet as a rock. To comfort the kids, Luna can be what they need her to be, but can she be everything to them all at once? When Hector doesn’t show up to a session one day, the kids set off on an unexpected quest to find him. Luna joins to keep them safe, and they must work together to almost learn the truth.

Lung Plague: Origins, Impact and Epidemiology of Contagious Bovine Pleuropneumonia
by Dr Robin Nicholas Professor Justin KastnerContagious bovine pleuropneumonia (CBPP), or lung plague, is one of the great historic diseases of livestock, and still causes major economic losses in Sub-Saharan Africa. It spread to all continents where cattle were farmed in the 19th and 20th centuries, but until relatively recently little was known of its origins and impact around the world. Covering its worldwide spread, impact in terms of economic losses, and control and diagnostic methods used, this book focuses on the five continents that CBPP infected. By examining primary sources, it provides an accurate and definitive account of the behaviour of the disease, and the response of control authorities and livestock owners to it. Filling in the gaps for this World Organisation for Animal Health listed disease, this book is a useful reference for anyone studying or researching the spread of animal disease and disease control.
