(Did you know that 25% of vet visits are for an itch?)In My Itchy Dog, she offers simple, well-researched remedies and solutions for dealing with common problems such as fleas, worms, poor mobility, itchy skin and poor digestion, as well as advice on recuperation from illness. Many people are already fans of natural products and eating healthy, unprocessed food – this book offers the opportunity to care for your dog in the same way.

My Life: A Record of Events and Opinions vol. I (My Life A Record of Events and Opinions #1)
by Alfred Russell WallaceThe naturalist and explorer Alfred Russell Wallace is famed for his contributions to evolutionary theory; his autobiography charts these and other accomplishments.Wallace was born in Wales to a modest family, and originally began his career as an apprentice surveyor in a relative's business in London...However a growing interest in the collection of insects, and the good impressions he left on members of the scientific community, led him to head abroad on his first expedition as a naturalist.His journeys to the Amazon saw him both observe the fauna and map uncharted regions of the rainforest. Later, his voyage to the Malay archipelago yielded a collection of some 126,000 insect specimens and beetles; thousands of these had never before been cataloged in science. Jotting many notes during his years abroad, Wallace determined his own notions of natural selection—on arriving back in England, he published these ideas and began a lively correspondence with Charles Darwin.As a contemporary and friend of Darwin, Wallace had great bearing upon evolutionary thought. Although the two disagreed on how exactly natural selection took place, in broad terms they concurred; Wallace would author multiple papers defending and further explaining the ideas set out in Darwin's 'On the Origin of Species'. In certain fields, such as identification and arrangement of new animal species, Wallace was considered the foremost expert. He was a keen and meticulous observer of the natural world, and one of the first scientists to ever express anxiety about the effects that mankind was having upon the natural environment.This excellent autobiography offers readers substantial insight into how Wallace made his discoveries and became a respected figure. Though often struggling financially, and holding no formal qualifications, with deeds and sheer effort Wallace made his mark upon biological science.-Print ed.

Each dog Tia writes about here has overcome abuse, trauma, neglect, or just bad luck to become a stalwart, loving companion to Tia and her family. You'll meetDuke, whose intelligence and matinee-idol looks made him a star in movies and music videos; Junkyard Joe, whose single-minded passion for tennis balls was channeled into expertise as a drug-sniffing dog;Bluie, the unswerving protector of Tia's daughter Tania; and a host of other unforgettable canines.

My Life With George: What I Learned About Joy from One Neurotic (And Very Expensive) Dog
by Judith SummersWhen Judith Summers first met George, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel who would change her life, she and her young son, Joshua, were mourning the deaths of her husband and her father, who had died barely two weeks apart. It was love at first sight. George was the ultimate upper-class pooch, and seemingly the perfect puppy, brimming with love and joy and complete with "the kind of film-star looks that made strangers stop in the street and coo over him." But, as Judith soon discovered, George was as time-consuming as a full-time job and as expensive to run as a Ferrari. Willful, possessive and badly behaved, he refused to eat anything other than organic roast chicken, destroyed her work, and suffered from every allergy and illness under the sun. On top of that, George was horribly accident-prone. Stuff happened to him. His vet bills alone have run to $25,000, and George is still only nine years old! It wasn't long before King George ruled the roost in Judith's home. But even after he drove away one of her suitors, she couldn't fathom giving him up. Just as his naughtiness was boundless, so was his devotion to her and her son. A foot-warmer on cold nights, a good listener, and a fierce (okay, not so fierce) protector, George was always by their side--and much of the time underfoot. For anyone who has ever loved an incorrigible pet or known what it was like to lose a loved one, My Life with George is the hilarious and moving account of the impossible but adorable George, and of the wonderful way in which he helped to fill a huge void in the lives of both Judith and her son while driving them absolutely barking mad along the way.
