Learn everything you need to communicate with your furry friend!
Why do dogs behave the way they do? What makes one breed so
different to another? And how can owners work around these inborn
personality traits? Talk to Your Dog will teach you everything you
need to build an even stronger relationship with your canine
companion. Find out where, when and why they want to be stroked,
and how to give them a soothing reiki massage. Heart-warming,
enlightening and absolutely true stories reveal how dogs use their
unique powers to help humans, including warning them of danger,
going to their rescue and playing a role in healing them. Uncover
dogs' ‘secret agenda’ and what they would do if left to their
own devices. Whether your pet is a lovable mutt or an aristocratic
pedigree, it's worth taking the time to get to know these magical
creatures.
'Sometimes I wonder, if I had known that it was going to take me
fourteen years to paint this painting of the Crucifixion with
Douglas as Jesus, and what it would take for me to paint this
painting, would I have been as happy as I was then?' Susan Alison
MacLeod, a Glasgow School of Art graduate with a dark sense of
humour, first lays eyes on Douglas MacDougal at a party in 1988,
and resolves to put him on the cross in the Crucifixion painting
she's been sketching out, but her desire to create 'good' art and a
powerful, beautiful portrayal means that a final painting doesn't
see the light of day for fourteen years. Over the same years,
Douglas's ever-more elaborately designed urine-based installations
bring him increasing fame, prizes and commissions, while his
modelling for Susan Alison, who continues to work pain and
suffering on to the canvas, takes place mostly in the shadows. This
Good Book is a wickedly funny, brilliantly observed novel that
spins the moral compass and plays with notions of creating art.
Based on the popular research project Whores of Yore and written
with her distinctive humour and wit, A Curious History of Sex draws
upon Dr. Kate Lister's extensive knowledge of sex history. From
medieval impotence tests to twentieth-century testicle thefts, from
the erotic frescoes of Pompeii, to modern-day sex doll brothels,
Lister unashamedly roots around in the pants of history, debunking
myths, challenging stereotypes, and generally getting her hands
dirty. This fascinating book is peppered with surprising and
informative historical slang, and illustrated with eye-opening,
toe-curling, and meticulously sourced images from the past. You
will laugh, you will wince, and you will wonder just how much has
actually changed.
Threatened by Tempest's rapid expansion, the Eastern Empire finally
begins to strike back. According to Chloe, the time-traveling Hero,
there exists a timeline in which the Empire defeats Rimuru and
Tempest subsequently collapses. While Rimuru's doom isn't set in
stone, his victory isn't a foregone conclusion either. And to make
matters worse, an Empire spy seems to have infiltrated Tempest...

world of human biology. Eternal questions answered include: * How
much snot do you produce each day? * Why do men have nipples? * Is
it possible to burp and hiccup at the same time? * How does phlegm

footsteps of Fartology, quirkologist Stefan Gates explores the
crispy, slimy, noisy, funny but absolutely vital science of the
human body. Packed with bizarre biological secrets about your
cocktail cabinet of revolting bodily juices, smelliest gases,
multitude of hairs and more, Rude Science is the ultimate
celebration of the human body's imperfections and glorious quirks.

fridge, or track down that cute guy at the farmers market-in this
humorous Where's Waldo-style grown-up seek and find activity book.

Is There a Pigeon in the Room? is a deeply personal book about

tapestry of anecdotes and reflections on topics like drugs,
parenting and sex education, laced with stories about memorable
individuals. What did he say to the Third Year after drinking too
much gin with the Head? Who was Adolf? What happened to the
horrible bus driver? While the intention is to make the reader
laugh plenty, Cameron also deals with discipline, refugees, tragic
events, his own status as a gay man and tells us the story of Tes,
an Eritrean boy who inspired hundreds of young people with his love
of education. Cameron taught over 8,000 students in his career.
Having been once described as 'the place where Jean Brodie meets
Kenneth Williams' the book also charts the surprising trajectory of
a career which culminated in his appointment as Principal of George
