Product Description
The Bearded Collie, known to his admiring flock as the Beardie, acquired his name from his well-furred muzzle; certainly his shaggy coat, which protects from the elements, gives him an irresistible, lovable charm. Known for centuries in Scotland and Northern England, the Bearded Collie has a happy temperament, a nice medium size and an irrepressible willingness to participate in activities with his family, whether on the farm, on the beach or just in the back yard with the kids. This is a fun-loving, adaptable and hardy dog for any owner seeking a bouncy pal to spend time with. Few breeds can compete with the Beardies unique combination of loyalty, intelligence and sheer fun! This new Special Limited Edition provides everything a new owner needs to know about caring for and training a Bearded Collie. Author Bryony Harcourt-Brown, a long-time Beardie breeder from England, has written an insightful chapter on the breeds origins in its homeland, and guest author Christine Walkowicz has provided an insiders view of the breeds development in the US. This colorful handbook also covers the breeds characteristics and breed standard as well as helpful information about selecting and rearing a puppy, behavior and specific health concerns. With an emphasis on positive-training methods, the chapters on training cover everything from socialization and preventing puppy problems to house-training and obedience lessons. The well-illustrated chapter on preventive healthcare, written by popular author and veterinarian Dr. Lowell Ackerman, discusses all aspects of canine health including selecting a qualified vet, inoculations, parasite control and more. Every owner of a Beardie will welcome this comprehensive and entertaining new guide as a valuable addition to his home library.

An Authority on Beardies!.......2000-04-26
Carol Gold practically introduced Bearded Collies to Canada, and was showing Beardies before they were accepted into the Kennel Clubs, working hard to initiate the breed on the North American continent. She KNOWS Beardies and this handbook is a must for those who are lucky enough to be "owned-by-a-Beardie." Thanks for all you've done for the breed, Carol, and thanks for sharing your valuable knowledge in your books!

AHS Practical Guide: Lawns & Groundcovers.......2000-05-04
Book lovers will want to buy this book simply because it is such a beautiful little book. It's nicely laid out at the perfect size for a little book, printed on slick paper and has dozens and dozens of top quality photographs.
I am not a lawn or gardening expert, but this little book seems to me to be chock full of good information. The section on ground covers other than grass, such as bulbs, perenials, and bushes is particularly good for such a short book. In addition, there are scores of tips and techniques for everthing from filling in low spots in your lawn to raking and aerating to planting bulbs under your lawn and dividing and propagating bulbs and other plants.
There are deficiencies. In particular, there is no discussion of soil PH, and the coverage of grass species is poor. A page on each of these topics would improve the book a great deal. A simple chart of grass species and their characteristics would be a great help.
I would characterize this as an "idea" book. You will get a lot of useful information about how to care for your grounds, but you will need to supplement this book with another for really comprehensive coverage of lawn care. Try "Lawn Care for Dummies."
More important, you will get good ideas about how to make your lawn and gardens stand out. In this regard, the photographs alone are worth the price of the book.

Prophets with and emphasis upon history & politics........2005-08-23
Professor Uffenheimer has written an interesting book on pre-exilic prophecy in the Hebrew Bible that integrates a discussion of the prophets with biblical history. Actually, the book's emphasis is more upon Israel's history around the time of the prophets than the prophets as key individuals in Israel's history. His discussion of the Elijah-Elisha narratives concentrates upon political and historical backgrounds rather than the prophets or their messages. Uffenheimer also places great emphasis upon ancient Near Eastern data to determine what is historical in the narrative.
The author accepts, but not quickly, the findings of source criticism. Frequently a detailed analysis of Wellhausen and followers is provided with Uffenheimer often holding to a historical core. The author is no stranger to form or rhetorical criticism but neither is discussed at length in the book. Even less is found concerning current social science criticism but his perspective can be gleaned from what is said about Wellhausen's school. When discussing the person of Samuel, Uffenheimer states, "To leap blindly into the realm of actual historical fact, using terms borrowed from abstract social theory, cannot but distort that reality," (265).
The book's concentration upon politics and history helps to place prophets in their setting and the author's rigorous discussion of source criticism make it a helpful work but less is learned about the prophets than might be expected from such a concentrated discussion of the early prophets. I would recommend the book as supplemental reading for the prophets especially those interested in an older generation of critical discussions.

Stories About Jesus For Little Ones.......2001-08-03
This is an excellent beginner children's Bible about Jesus. It has very easy to understand stories. All the stories are very short so as to keep your child's attention. The pages are bright and colourful. The book is a board book so it is very easy for little hands to hold and look at. There are interactive, simple questions to ask your child throughout the story (usually 2 or 3). There also is a short prayer at the end of the story to complete your devotion time. It focuses on all the main, important stories about Jesus' birth, life and death. It is appropriate for ages 1 - 5 for reading to and then for over 5 if you want them to read to you.
