The extraordinary -- and true -- story of a cat with a remarkable gift.In the summer of 2007 Oscar the cat made headlines around the world. Why? Because he knows when the patients in the Rhode Island hospice where he lives are going to die. Oscar curls up on their beds, keeps them company and enables the families to be with their loved ones at the end. Dr David Dosa's job is to respond to people's medical needs, treat them for their ailments and communicate with their families. Oscar takes care of the rest. He is a steady companion and, because of him, patients don't die alone. Can a cat really predict death? Is he smelling something or responding to behavioural clues? Is he helping guide souls to heaven? Oscar's warm and profound story is heartfelt, sometimes even funny, but always inspiring.

When Jon took on a troublesome two-year-old Border Collie in "A Dog Year", it turned his sedate life upside down and culminated in a move from suburbia to a rural farm. But the contrary Collie - incredibly loyal but incredibly misbehaved - never settles down. Jon tries everything, obedience training, changing his name from Devon to Orson, even acupuncture, and it all helps a little, but not enough. Together Jon and Orson chase sheep across high meadows, wade through snow, bask by a roaring stove and struggle to keep faith in each other. A story of great joy and heartbreak, in "A Good Dog" Jon faces the most difficult decision any dog lover has to make.

On the coldest morning of the year, Vicki Myron found a tiny, bedraggled kitten almost frozen to death in the night drop box of the library where she worked. Her life and the town of Spencer, Iowa would never be the same.
Vicki was a single mother who had survived the loss of her family farm and an alcoholic, abusive husband. But her biggest challenge as the new head librarian in Spencer was to raise the spirits of a small, out-of-the-way town mired deep in the farm crisis of the 1980s.
Dewey, as the townspeople named the kitten, quickly grew into a strutting, adorable library cat whose antics kept patrons in stitches, and whose sixth sense about those in need created hundreds of deep and loving friendships. As his fame grew, people drove hundreds of miles to meet Dewey, and people all over the world fell in love with him. Through it all, Dewey remained a loyal companion, a beacon of hope not just for Vicki, but for the entire town ...

Yann Arthus-Bertrand is the renowned photographer of
The Earth from the Air
, but he does not spend his entire life revealing the world from above. In the 1990s he began to photograph animals in the same way that fashion photographers take pictures of their models – as studio shots, paying immense attention to lighting and detail.
The fruits of a fifteen year labour of love, these photographs show horses and their owners in some of the most stunning and far-flung parts of the world, from France to Peru, from Morocco to Mongolia.
Photographing horses can be a tricky affair: their essence and true beauty is ultimately revealed when they move, not when they are posed in a photographer’s studio. It is a testament to Arthus-Bertrand’s skill that he is able to surmount this hurdle and eloquently portray horses as they are – their strength, their impetuous vitality, even their spirituality.
As well as celebrating the beauty ...

At last the cat flap is opened to reveal the secret literary life of our feline companions! Did you know that the bible does not mention cats at all? Do you know why we say the cat has been put among the pigeons? Why do we think they have nine lives? How much of our great literature refers to cats - and what do authors say? These are questions that every cat owner has pondered at one time or another. At last, all the cat references in our language have been gathered in one place to provide an informative, fun and comprehensive resource for the cat fan - from owners to aficionados. With everything from the most common to the most obscure mention of the noble beast, this is the last word on every word about the feline species - it's the cat's whiskers.

In her groundbreaking and bestselling book Animals in Translation, Temple Grandin drew on her own experience with autism as well as her distinguished career as an animal scientist to delivery extraordinary insights into how animals think, act, and feel. Now she builds on those insights to show us how to give our animals the best and happiest life - on their terms, not ours. It's usually easy to pinpoint the cause of physical pain in animals, but to know what is causing them emotional distress is much harder. Drawing on the latest research and her own work, Grandin identifies the core emotional needs of animals. Then she explains how to fulfill them for dogs and cats, horses, farm animals and zoo animals. Whether it's how to make the healthiest environment for the dog that you leave alone in the house during the day, how to how to keep pigs from being bored, or how to know if the lion pacing in the zoo is miserable or just exercising, ...

John and Jenny were just beginning their life together. They were young and in love, with a perfect little house and not a care in the world. Then they brought home Marley, a wiggly yellow fur ball of a puppy. Life would never be the same.
Marley quickly grew into a barrelling, ninety-seven-pound steamroller of a Labrador retriever, a dog like no other. He crashed through screen doors, gouged through drywall, flung drool on guests, stole women’s undergarments, and ate nearly everything he could get his mouth around, including couches and fine jewellery. Obedience school did no good — Marley was expelled.
And yet Marley’s heart was pure. Just as he joyfully refused any limits on his behaviour, his love and loyalty were boundless, too. Marley shared the couple’s joy at their first pregnancy, and their heartbreak over the miscarriage. Unconditional love, they would learn, comes in many forms.

Throughout the world, one breed of farm animal becomes extinct every month. This book outlines the history of the breeds of heritage livestock that were brought into, or developed in, New Zealand before 1950. Modern factory-farming methods rely on only a few breeds of livestock, and differentiated breeds are disappearing at an alarming rate; and it's up to dedicated conservators to save them. The call to conserve rare breeds, and therefore biodiversity, is now all the more important. Rare breeds: preserve living remnants of our distant past; biodiversity - if disease or genetic malady should strike common domestic breeds, then hardy, heritage breeds could take up the slack; Some livestock and poultry breeds are best-suited to specific environments and needs. Rare breeds are of interest to owners of boutique farms and lifestyle blocks, and those who value New Zealand's agricultural history and the importance of biodiversity. Breeds with ...
