Book Description
The Tao of Bow Wow is not just any dog training book. Part how-to, part primer in the ways of Tao, this unique guide to training and understanding your dog will revolutionize the way owners view their dogs. Not only does veteran dog trainer Deborah Wood explain how the principles of Tao can be used to train your dog in a clear, prescriptive fashion, but she also shows owners how to better communicate with and relate to their dogs using these same principles. Included in this companion designed for easy reference are:
Quick simple instructions for teaching the essential commands for a dog's safety and well-being: sit, stay, heel, down, come and stand.
The best (and the worst) games to play with your dogs.
Dog Qi, true telepathic communication between you and your dog
How to use meditation, massage, and exercise to achieve true peaceful companionship
The Tao of Bow Wow is an essential guide for any animal lover seeking to have a truly profound and joyful relationship with their dog.
Customer Reviews:
Great Training Book.......2000-12-31
The exercise of you being a dog while another person attempts to "train" you without using words is outstanding. The book really reminds you to be very clear and focused when dealing with your dog. I am a first time dog owner, and I would higly recommend it. My only problem is that I wish it dealt with aggressive behavioral problems more in depth.
good training methods, but.............2000-08-08
I like her training methods -- positive reinforcement, no negative "punishment." But, she's not the first to suggest this, nor necessarily the best. I definitely felt that the "Tao" part was an merely added as an attempt to set her "style" apart from others -- a superfulous & poorly integrated attempt in my opinion. Was a waste of my money; we've been training for 3 years.
This book is so awesome.......2000-06-28
The Toa of Bow Wow is a super cool book. The author reminds us that it is an honor to share our life with a dog and that it is our obligation to train our dogs in a respectful and loving manner. She encourges the reader to think like your dog and to not expect your dog to think like you - remove your ego from the relationship. It is a beautifully written narative on the special bond between dogs and their human compainions.
If you love dogs you will love this book........1999-09-07
Another excellent book that treats animals(dogs) as the thinking, loving life forms that they are. We share this planet with some amazing, fellow creatures. Dogs are one of the most interesting and intelligent. We have taken them from their packs and placed them into our homes. We have the responsibility to provide ourselves and our home as their new pack and den. They understand us far better than we understand them. Deborah Wood helps you understand them and their world as only a sensitive, intelligent observer can.
A great book for a dog novice or the expert........1999-02-24
This book should be the standard in training a dog. I thoroughly reccomend this book, and the use of Taoist techniques in the obedience training of a dog.

Best in it's class.......1998-07-18
This is the most surprising "paper back" that I have ever purchased! The 128 pages are packed full of full-color pictures, information, expert comments, and diagrams. I especially find the photos valuable for scanning and importing into my Garden Encyclopedia and Lansdcape Software. I fully intend to order other Dr. Hessayon books.

Customer Reviews:
Finally!.......2001-03-30
I was starting to get frustrated because the only books I could find on evergreens focused on trees and large shrubs. This book is not the same, it has plenty of information about evergreen perennials as well. The only draw backs are that it does not define regions where the plant may become semi-evergreen, and it lacks information on pests and diseases. But, it's a great place to start when you are looking for evergreens.

Not enough of a good thing........2005-12-20
Peter McHoy is a MOST prolific writer and has covered all aspects of gardening. Why then is this book so thin? There are 4 chapters: 3 are a only few pages each and cover maintenance, how to purchase healthy trees, pest and disease control and how to care for the tree. All good material, but there could be so much more.
The rest of the book is a directory of about 40 trees. Nothing wrong here either. There is a beautiful full page color photo of each specimen. There is all the information on the conditions the tree prefers. I like the sketch of the mature specimen, showing shape and size - very handy.
So - why 3.5 stars? Simply because of the QUANTITY of information - not the quality. This may be a good addition to your gardening library, but you'll probably want more.

Book Description
This two-volume work describes the significant activities of Martin Bucer, reformer in Strasbourg, and the profound influence he exerted on his contemporaries. The collection brings together sixty contributions in English, German and French by leading Bucer and sixteenth century scholars. They highlight Bucer's profile and style, his theology, his attitude towards social questions of his time, his work in the church, his relationships with contemporaries in the city of Strasbourg and all over Europe, his position on contemporary issues and how his peers perceived him -- in short, the many facets of thought, actions, and influence of an important but largely neglected sixteenth century reformer. They also provide new insight into the victories and defeats of Protestantism, and on Bucer's role in the progress of the Reformation in Europe. Dieses Buch stellt das Wirken und die vielfaltigen Beziehungen des Strassburger Reformators Martin Bucer dar. Sechzig Beitrage prominenter Spezialisten Bucers und des 16. Jahrhunderts sind in den zwei Banden vereint. Behandelt werden Bucers Profil und Stil, seine Theologie, seine Haltung zu gesellschaftlichen Fragen seiner Zeit, sein Wirken in der Kirche, seine Beziehungen zu Zeitgenossen in Strassburg und in ganz Europa, seine Verhaltnis zu zeitgenossischen Stromungen, die Rezeption Bucers. Die verschiedenen Beitrage erhellen auf vielfaltige Weise das Denken, das Wirken und die Austrahlung eines der grossen aber weithin vergessenen Reformators des 16. Jahrhunderts. Sie werfen auch ein neues Licht auf die Siege und Niederlagen der evangelischen Bewegung und die Rolle Bucers bei der Durchfuhrung der Reformation in Europa.
