Customer Reviews:
Excellent read for any dog owner or trainer.......2006-03-17
Reading this book has inspired me to follow my dream to become a dog trainer. The late John Fisher has an excellent understanding of dogs. It is written in a simple way that anyone can understand it. Once I started reading it I couldnt put the book back down. Well worth every penny!
Not worth the read.......2001-10-25
I've read several dog behavior books and worked with dogs for years. This book, however, was disappointing. He begins with the assumption that most dogs owners not only don't know how to train a dog, but actually seriously mistreat their dogs. He presents techniques in two veins. Some involve scaring the dog into doing the right thing by throwing things at him/her or by making a loud noise. Others are reasonable, positive, reward-based strategies, but he presents them as if it were some great, original idea that no one had ever thought of before. There are plenty of much better dog behavior/training books out there that are much better reads.
Great read; Excellent reference.......2000-03-24
A quick, easy, and entertaining read that is crammed full of practical and easy-to-use training pointers. Gives readers a basic understanding of dog psychology and guides them in correcting behavior problems with simple steps. Readers should also be able to identify undesirable behaviors at their onset in the future and correct them more easily. Not terribly in-depth in psychology, but extremely effective in training technique. All methods are "dog friendly" and build/reinforce a positive relationship between dog and owner.
everyone agrees.......1999-12-31
I can't think of how many books I've read on dogs. This is my favorite. Each person who asked me how I trained my dog or asked how to solve a problem, I send them my tattered and torn copy. I finally bought a second one. This will help you take a step back and see what YOU are doing wrong while conditioning your body language to communicate to your dog. Easy read.
Marvelous reading!.......1999-07-18
I found this to be a fascinating book on dog behavior and understanding of their psyche. I couldn't put it down until I had finished it and I refer to it all the time. I've tried some other books but they never held my interest like this one.
Book Description
Outstanding selection of nearly 120 American posters that helped fight the battles at home and abroad. Full-color works by James Montgomery Flagg, Howard Chandler Christy, Anton Otto Fischer, and more than 60 other artists exhorted Americans to enlist, buy Liberty bonds, increase production, and contribute to the war effort.

Not What I Expected.......2007-08-08
I have the greatest respect for the Dover company - in general they produce high-quality books, and I own quite a few of them. However, with this book, they missed a great opportunity. This volume reproduces WWI and WWII propaganda posters in spades, but on a very small scale - two posters are printer per page, lengthwise, about 3x5 inches apiece. While the posters are clearly printed, on good quality paper, in full, vivid color, the fact that they are so small takes away some of the fun in looking at them. This book comes with an accompanying CD-ROM so that you can use the posters herein (on a limited basis) in certain projects and, essentially, it seems as though the book is really meant to serve as a catalogue for the CD-ROM. For those who are looking for a good digital reference, this may be useful; those who are looking for a good art book should look elsewhere.
Ideal Teaching Tool.......2007-05-07
Downloading the CD Rom images is easy and making color copies or transparencies for overhead projections. Using the latter in your classroom will enhance your lessons on the World Wars, especially the broad range samples of Homefront propaganda and culture. The students seeing these poster works in rich colors beats the drab B&W or smaller textbook facsimile inserts. Show it to them while playing a CD recording of George M. Cohan's "Over There" for a real memorable effect! My Eighth graders will surely remember this.
Book Description
World War I posters used to promote the American war effort are today highly prized collectibles. This card collection reproduces 24 of those works, among them James Montgomery Flagg's classic depiction of Uncle Sam proclaiming "I Want YOU for U.S. Army." Dover Original.

A Classic.......2002-08-20
This is a classic book that every weaver should have in his/her library. Clear instructions on many finishing techniques from fringes to lace edges, braids to bag handles. A real collector's item.
Finishing Touches for the Handweaver.......2002-03-09
Excellent! Very clear instructions for many different finishes. I highly recomend this book for all handweavers.
A classic weaver's reference book, with clear instructions........1997-07-01
A great reference book for handweavers filled with finishing techniques to make your creations unique. Instructions are clearly written and illustrated, accompanied by lovely full color photographs. While some of the techniques may be time consuming to perform, the end result is worth it. This book is a standard for the weavers bookshelf and due to become a collector's piece - Interweave Press has recently announced they will no longer be printing it

Twenty-eight peer-reviewed papers, reflecting the latest information on sealant and adhesive durability, cover: Field Experience with Sealed Joints and Adhesive Fixationsdiscusses a novel secondary drainage system for architectural panel walls, consisting of tubes and joint protection collection reservoirs with one-way valves; the retrofitting of a lock strip gasket system on the faade of a twenty-year old building to create a watertight barrier; and structural silicone glazing systems. Factors Influencing the Durability of Sealed Joints and Adhesive Fixationsexamines the influence of polyester powder coating chemistry on the adhesion durability of silicone sealants; water absorption in cold liquid-applied waterproofing; cleaning and preparation of float glass substrates; relationship between elevated moisture conditions in substrates and the ability of sealants to maintain adequate bond strength; and a comparison of the properties of silyl-terminated polyurethanes with those of traditional polyurethanes. Durability Studies of Sealants and Adhesivesstudies the effect of different foam backer rods on the cure and mechanical performance of sealed joints; HVAC sealant longevity; use of biocides in silicone sealants; case histories of horizontal sealant joint failure investigations; resistance of horizontal joints to concentrated loads; and much more. Development of New Test Methods and Performance Based Specificationsreviews issues related to the mechanical property characterization of sealants; a systematic approach to a performance-based guide for the selection of crack sealants used in airport pavements; the effect of ambient laboratory climate ageing on material properties used in the FEA modeling of silicone sealants; and the key requirements relevant to any service-life-prediction methodology.
