How to tackle the challenges and enjoy the rewards of adopting a pet Twenty percent of all pets in the U.S. are adopted. By adopting a pet, people often save the life of the dog or cat they bring home-and gain a devoted friend for life. But adoptions can come with their own difficulties, especially if the pet is older or suffered from abuse. This fun and easy guide helps prospective adopters prepare for challenges (starting with the complicated application process that many shelters and rescue organizations require), select an appropriate animal, and begin a wonderful new life together. Focusing chiefly on dogs and cats but also covering other adoptable animals, the book discusses feeding, supplies, health care, housetraining, basic obedience, solutions to behavior problems, and the special needs of older and abused animals. Eve Adamson (Iowa City, IA), the owner of two adopted mixed-breed terriers, is an award-winning pet writer and the author or coauthor of over 30 books, including Labrador Retrievers For Dummies (0-7645-5281-3) and Dachshunds For Dummies (0-7645-5289-9). She is a contributing editor for Dog Fancy magazine and also writes for Cat Fancy, the AKC Gazette, and other pet publications.

Nice up close and personal look at our hometown team.......2007-07-13

The book is a delight. It's written for the average person, who may or may not be a baseball fan. There's not a lot of boring statistics. It's a look at the players and one particular remarkable coach. It made me laugh out loud, brought tears to my eyes and sometimes both at the same time. The book takes a look at the real people who have played inside the Seattle Mariners uniforms. Give it a chance just like we've given the Mariners a chance.

The Western Limit of the World: A Novel

ASIN: 0375506063
Release Date: 2002-03-12

Book Description

By all accounts, Henry Seine should have packed it in long ago, certainly before he started scanning marine distress channels for fun. But sixteen-hour days spent hauling heavy cargo aboard tugs and icebreakers along the frozen arctic offshore (not to mention smoking copious amounts of Cannabis indica) can warp a man’s sense of reality. Desperate for real human contact, he tunes the sideband radio to 2182 kHz (twenty-one eighty-two kilohertz), the international distress channel, in the vague hope of finding someone he can save.

Soon, though, even the paycheck that fattens his wallet each season isn’t enough to fix his interest. Seine journeys south, but weathers a capsizing that leaves his fellow crewmen dead. Unable to break from his old habits, and haunted by the ghosts of dead shipmates, he flies north for another season. One day, idly monitoring 2182, Seine catches a fading distress call from somewhere out in the circumpolar twilight. A scientist named Louis Moneymaker is trapped alone on an ice floe that threatens to melt beneath his feet. Cobbling together a motley rescue team–the frostbitten Wolf, a six-foot-eight Russian known as Big Man, a tattooed Eskimo nicknamed the Buff, and an intrepid, dark-eyed sailor named Julia–Seine travels farther north than he’s ever gone, determined to save Moneymaker and exorcise his demons in one grand sweep.

2182 kHz combines the white-knuckle adventure of The Perfect Storm with the dark humor and deadpan wit of Chuck Palahniuk to create an absorbing tale of search-and-rescue. David Masiel introduces us to a compelling antihero who is only one step away from either destruction or salvation.

Customer Reviews:

Gritty and authentic.......2006-03-26

The main gripe of other reviewers seems to be that the book fails to fit into a particular genre. So what? I did not enjoy Masiel's other book, but decided to give this one a try and thoroughly enjoyed it. The scene of the tug's knockdown is horrifyingly realistic and artfully described. Seine's attempt to grapple with his own demons and the lure of the north strikes me as authentic if somewhat Kafkayesque. If you are looking for a purely nautical thriller that fits neatly into the genre this is probably not for you. If you want a tautly written novel about one man's experience , I recommend it.

The real deal.......2003-12-07

It seems the writers of all these negative reviews are missing the point. This is a series of emotions, composite characters and anecdotes from working in Alaska that has been fictionalized for print. This stuff is too bizarre for fiction -- it has to be based in the truth. This is the very definition of a sea story. If I have any critisism, it is that I don't think the author ever really decided if he wanted to write a Spike Walker book or a Sam Llewellyn mystery. But that's not the point.

Here is a peek inside a world most of us will never know, and I'm grateful for it. Having spent ridiculiously long periods of time at sea in the Navy, seeing and doing things no one will ever believe, I can relate to this insanity. The way the author structured the book only serves to drive home the experience. This is as real as fiction gets. So much the better if you can't fit it neatly into a genre box.

An absolutely killer read from a very talented writer. Don't miss it.

laughably inept!.......2003-09-09

This book is a laugh, though not intentionally. A pathetic load of moldy fish heads like this is what we get when somebody decides to paint by numbers. This is nothing more than a flim-flam regurgitation of every bad B-movie plot since men in tights fought giant ants. The howling storms, the pitching seas, the inane and unbelievable "cutesy" dialogue, the stilted paragraphs of self-important boredom, the unrealistic adventure--the perfect storm becomes the imperfect yawn.

We've seen it all a thousand times before this, and here it is rehashed for us to such puny and unbearable effect. I don't know when I have last read such a perfect piece of junk. It was so obviously calculated to conform to the outlines of pop movie entertainment, and yet so laughably failing to live up to even the most banal of pop-junk multiplex effects. It's like sitting in the theater with the multiplex sound system exploding in your ears but nothing on the screen but frozen ships banging against one another in huge sprays of meaningless ice. You're left with a plastic, industrial, very unhealthy feeling that makes you want to run out to the lobby and heave-ho.

Drop this one into the garbage beneath the kitchen sink, absolutely dreadful, best forgotten. The only thing worse than this would be the actual movie starring a non-actor like Clooney or Costner--may the gods protect us from an experience that low, though I hold out no hope of being thrown a life preserver.

The real thing.......2003-07-20

What a rare combination. A novel about work written someone who has really done the work AND can really write a novel. Features one of the best female characters in modern fiction.

PRETENTIOUS AND MISGUIDED.......2003-05-26

Hmm. It's hard to know what to think of this after the first two chapters. Quickly afterwards, it becomes clear that this is going nowhere and aggregating into nothing. Yes, there are characters, and yes, they "do things," but somehow none of it ever adds up. It's as though the author took all of the elements that go into a story, exaggerated them tremendously, and then settled them onto the page without any thought as to how they related to one another.

Thus, we have a hero, we have the backdrop of Alaska, we have a series of actions in an overdescribed melieu. Detail upon detail upon detail is ladled out, and it never takes us anywhere. This problem sinks down into the sentence level as well. Words are thrown together one after another awkwardly, as though the writer is reaching for a word--any word at all--and then committing to it without thought. Three quarters of the adjectives could have been cut from this to better effect. The ultimate result is like the feeling of a junkyard full of discarded industrial parts, through which we are led without much plan or purpose.

It's hard to find a genre for the resultant book. It is not an adventure story, because there is no sustained tension. It is not a love story, because the women exist more as abstract constructs than as real people. It is not a literary novel, as the highly developed style and imagistic resonance is missing.

The book is perhaps best described as a veil of shadows and fog and ice. It consists of all of the mechanical parts askew on the floor, without anyone bothering to lay them out in a way that makes sense, much less assemble a finished product.

It would be too easy to say that the result is disappointment. It is more accurate to say that I am bewildered.

Book Description

This colorful book chronicles the Seattle Mariners' rise from basement to penthouse in major league baseball and Seattle's transition from funky burg to a major city of baseball fanatics. It's all here - the lawsuits, the crazy confluence of sports and ego and civic destiny, and of course, superstars Ichiro, A-Rod, Randy Johnson, and Ken Griffey. Seattle sportswriter Art Thiel recounts the painful birth, awkward adolescence, and hard-won maturity of one of the most beloved teams in sports history.

A good history of a team without much........2007-04-04

The Seattle Mariners for a long time were the laughing stock of major league baseball like most expansion teams such as the Mets, Expos, and currently the Devilrays. This book tells of their turn around and how they went from joke to contender. This is the organization that scouted and developed Randy Johnson, Ken Griffey Jr, and Alex Rodriguez. Although they are short on history, one game will forever live in my memory. This is when the Mariners had to play the New York Yankees in a playoff game, winner take all. The mighty Goliath Yankees against the David of a team Mariners. And who would be the hero of that game, the smallest of them all, Joey Cora. This is a good book to show how an expansion team has to build itself to catch up with the teams that have been in the league for a century.

A VERY GOOD READ.......2005-12-04

THIS BOOK COVERS THE HISTORY OF THE SEATLE MARINERS IN VERY GOOD DETAIL. IT IS QUITE INTERESTING AND VERY WELL WRITTEN. I FOUND SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS TO BE THE STORIES CONCERNING PINELLA, A-ROD, GRIFFEY AND THE BIG UNIT. IT COVERS FROM THE EARLY MAJOR LEAGUE TEAM IN SEATTLE AT THE TIME, THE PILOTS UP TO 2003. ALSO I ENJOYED THE STORY OF THE OWNERSHIP ESPECIALLY WHEN THE JAPANESE BOUGHT THE TEAM. TO PUT THIS IN A NUTSHELL, I RECOMMEND THIS FOR ALL MARINER AND ALL BASEBALL FANS.

Great Sports Writing.......2005-11-23

You'd think a book on a team that DIDN'T make it to the World Series would be a bust, but Thiel did such a great job of telling the story that it's well worth the investment.

Finally something to write about on the M's.......2004-12-08

Well it took awhile but finally the Mariners are worth investigating. Thiel balances action on the field very well with action off it. The whole new ballpark issue I found incredibly intriguing since I missed the whole thing being out of the area the entire time it was going on. Thanks for filling in the gaps!

Without giving the whole story away as some of these reviews have done, this is close to perfection as far as baseball team history type books go w/o getting bogged down with mindless trivia.

A baseball team in exchange for dropping a lawsuit!.......2004-09-27

Baseball came to the Great Northwest in 1969. The Seattle Pilots played one season of major league baseball before the owners saw a quick chance for profit and sold the team in 1970 to Bud Selig, who then promptly moved the club to Milwaukee. Then Washington state attorney Slade Gorton filed suit against the American League for breach of contract. In exchange for dropping the lawsuit, Seattle was awarded a baseball team in the 1977 expansion. Thus begins the saga of the Seattle Mariners.

So the Mariners start their run, not with public support, but as a trophy in a legal battle. It didn't get much better for a while. Art Thiel is a local Seattle sportswriter who chronicles the team in exceptional detail. As an adolescent in Seattle I remember those Mariners. He gives details, funny anecdotes, and describes the incredible playoff run in 1995 after two decades of futility that saved the team for Seattle. That run led to the new ballpark and the historic 2001 season.

For a casual baseball fan this book is well written and fascinating. However, for any Seattle fan it is priceless. While what happened on the field is known, Art describes what went on behind the scenes. Japanese owners, Microsoft money, and Presidents of the United States were all involved in the process to secure the team to Seattle through their current ownership.

A special moment for me was Art noting the back to back games against the Yankee's in the early lean years when Tom Paciorek hit home runs in the bottom of the ninth to win. I was at those games with my father and those are fond memories indeed.

A wonderful book, highly recommended to all baseball fans.

A Modern Tale of Reconciliation.......2004-05-13

This is a great children's book with a terrific message for both children and adults. Henry and his friend Oliver have a terrible quarrel, and then Grandpa Charlie comes to take Henry to a Seattle Mariners game. Henry tells Grandpa Charlie that Oliver is now his enemy. Grandpa Charlie and Henry both very much admire Ichiro Suzuki, and Grandpa Charlie tells Henry that at one time he thought of Japanese people as the enemy. Henry asks questions and Grandpa Charlie explains about World War II and says that people want to put the past behind them and live in peace. In the end Henry and Oliver resolve their differences. Because children already feel an affinity for Ichiro this story will be of high interest. The lovely writing and beautiful illustrations make this a very high quality picture book. I've read Dear Ichiro to both second and fourth graders, and they all loved it.

A heartwarming and enthusiastically recommended picture book.......2002-11-15

Dear Ichiro is a gentle and enjoyable picture book illustrated by Doug Keith and written by Jean Davies Okimoto that celebrates baseball as a sport cherished in both America and Japan. A young boy gets into an angry fight with his best friend, and vows to hate his former friend forever... but when he sees his grandfather, a World War II veteran, cheering for Japanese baseball players then the boy learns that it's possible for enemies to become friends again. A welcome addition for school and community library collections, Dear Ichiro is a heartwarming and enthusiastically recommended picture book story.

It's A Man's, Man's, Man's World........2007-03-12

A friend of mine gave me this book when she was finished with it. "I liked it," she said. "But I don't want it back." I understand the sentiment. I read it myself on vacation in South Africa. I decided to leave it behind at a hotel in Simon's Town. I traded it for a copy of North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell. And so it goes.

I enjoyed 2182 Kilohertz. It has a great punk heart surrounded by some really good writing about men being men together on a very cold boat. The mixing of genres was very clever, and Masiel achieved some genuine poignancy in the character of Henry Seine.

So what made me leave it behind? First of all, there is something a little bit odd about the pacing. In all honesty it sometimes read like a really good short story which someone encouraged Masiel to expand into a book. I found myself wondering if there was really all that much there there that the material really deserved a novel. I didn't really decide on my answer to that question.

I guess the biggest thing was my feeling that this was really a guy novel. The women read to me like fantasies or nightmares-- often both at the same time. There is only so far that I am really interested in guys running around and being tough and neurotic on an arctic boat. The toilet jokes didn't bother me, but the relentless toughness (even when the toughness was tongue in cheek) kind of did. This is obviously an issue of personal taste, and not a reflection on the quality of the novel.

I would recommend the book for anyone with an interest in novels about life on the ocean, or just a taste for a well-written little book with some rough edges. Very adult violence and drug use included, so probably not suitable for younger readers.

great Alaska story.......2006-11-16

This book really does a good job capturing the Arctic where people who are not quite "normal" make absurd amounts of money in absurd conditions. I do think drug testing has likely put an end to stoned-out-of-their-minds tugboat skippers. Likewise GPS has put an end to not having a clue where the hell you are. If you have ever made uncertain landfall in those pre-GPS days, praying your sun sight or RDF bearing was right while crossing it with a tempermental Loran, you will love this book.

a thriller of chilly brilliance.......2006-09-21

I've just read a stunning news item: So much of the Arctic ice cover has disappeared "that a ship could sail unhindered from Europe's most northerly outpost to the North Pole itself." This is, you understand, not ice cover just barely thick enough to skate on, but ice that is normally immune to the relative heat of the Arctic summer --- an area bigger than the British Isles.

This makes "2182 Kilohertz" --- a book set in the Arctic that reeks so much of authenticity I almost felt I ought to wear gloves while I was reading it --- not just fiction but historical fiction. A boat stuck in the Arctic ice? Soon that will be as quaint as Conrad or Melville.

I'm not much for sea stories, but Malcolm MacPherson --- my only friend who writes red-blooded books, full of adventure and danger --- said this was the best novel he's read in a decade. Good enough for me. And I thought: "Enough Proust. Let's spend a few hours with real men."

Consumer warning: These guys are real men. In-your-face, bawdy, physically strong and mentally independent. Consider the beginning of the book. After 138 days on a winter drill rig, Henry Seine is now on a camp barge "in frozen anchorage at the trailing end of a gravel causeway that stretched twenty-five miles into the Arctic Ocean." Cold? The north wind threatens "to make freezer-burned steak out of one side of his face." Oh, but the Arctic beauty, you think. Not quite: "There, on the ice, looking like a pile of frozen mud laced with toilet tissue, lay five days' accumulation of human sewage."

Hmm. Not sure if I'm enticing you here. Maybe I should say that Annie Proulx calls this "the best sea story in a long time." And that The New York Times --- prissy to a fault --- named this a notable book. And that David Masiel is not making up this....uh... stuff: From 1980 to 1989, he says, he "worked offshore in the arctic oilfields, sailing on ocean-going tugboats and icebreakers, mostly in Alaskan waters."

The good news: The characters amaze. You hate some of them, love none of them, but then you learn more about them and you find yourself able to read but not judge. "This kind of complexity," Masiel has said, "is far closer to the truth of human experience than a thousand lectures on good and evil. Also, it makes a better story."

No...uh...fooling. A storm makes the barges move out of synch, and suddenly you're learning more about boats in winter water than you planned to in your life. You find out what happens to a man thrown overboard. About the dangers of a leaky bilge. About walking on a man-made island. And dozens of truths about the oil business they don't show you in those lovely commercials about rigs in the Gulf of Mexico.

Imbedded here is a love story, a contrast in passion and ice. And a crazy, daring rescue --- the title refers to the radio frequency used at sea to broadcast emergencies. Death? There's more than enough to go around. Redemption? Hey, this is a sea story --- no redemption, no point.

Like moving through icy water, this book can be slow, hard reading. But it's oddly rewarding. Know a guy who likes Clancy and Patterson and that legion of writers who write tough but probably put on galoshes just to get the newspaper? Lay "2182 Kilohertz" on him.

Best interviewee, worst writer.......2006-08-18

When I heard an interview with him on the radio, I thought it was one of the best interviews I ever heard and I couldn't wait to buy the book. Now I wonder if I'll ever finish it.

The people who understand the subject and find it interesting will reject his writing style in a second. It seems like he wants to emphasize his creative writing degree from California much more than he wants to emphasize his interesting experiences on these ships.

His writing is overly artsy and the scenes are wildly disjointed. I wish some director would make a movie of his stuff and unwind the esoteric nonsense. It would probably be very worthwhile then...

First off: it's really cold........2004-06-09

Second: you're Henry Seine, a thirty-something washout that spends eight months of the year in the artic circle working with guys with nicknames like Big Man, Wolf, Chemist and the Buff. Your wife has just mailed you a fifth Dear John letter, telling you she's screwing some guy named Larry.

So what now?

Now you read the book, obviously. 2182 Kilohertz has good pacing, laughs and a few memorable characters. The Artic setting makes normal communication and interactions impossible, which heightens the drama and tension. Occasionally I was lost by some of the technical details of the barges, tows and various snapping wires.

Masiel's writing places detail over style (unlike Palahniuk) so the dialogue and descriptions lack the soaring quality of other more literary-minded authors. However the story is told quickly and with a certain raw dynamic that many readers will appreciate.
