'A brilliant book' Daniel Kahneman, author of Thinking, Fast and Slow‘A book that can show you how to change your behaviour' Evening StandardA child is presented with a marshmallow and given a choice: Eat this one now, or wait and enjoy two later. What will she choose? And what does her decision say about the person she'll become?Walter Mischel’s now iconic 'marshmallow test,' one of the most famous experiments in the history of psychology, proved that the ability to delay gratification is critical to living a successful and fulfilling life: self-control not only predicts higher marks in school, better social and cognitive functioning, and a greater sense of self-worth; it also helps us manage stress, pursue goals more effectively, and cope with painful emotions. But is willpower prewired, or can it be taught?In his groundbreaking new book, Dr. Mischel draws on decades of compelling research and life examples to explore the nature of willpower, identifying the cognitive skills and mental mechanisms that enable it and showing how these can be applied to challenges in everyday life--from weight control to quitting smoking, overcoming heartbreak, making major decisions, and planning for retirement.With profound implications for the choices we make in parenting, education, public policy and self-care, The Marshmallow Test will change the way we think about who we are and what we can be. And since, as Mischel argues, a life with too much self-control can be as unfulfilling as one with too little, this book will also teach you when it’s time to ring the bell and enjoy that marshmallow.

The first species to be domesticated, dogs have been selectively bred over thousands of years.

Arranged in chapters covering physical characteristics, senses, lifecycle, communication, behaviour and working dogs, Dogs is a hugely informative visual celebration. From huskies to German shepherds, from collies to Chihuahuas, Shih Tzu to Jack Russell Terriers, Labradors to Bullmastiffs to Dachshunds, the book includes a huge range of breeds.

By spending a year alongside rising star Jack, a champion Australian Shepherd, and his friends, magazine journalist Josh Dean rips back the curtain on the dog show world, providing not just a hilarious and often touching portrait of a colorful subculture only slightly exaggerated in the film "Best in Show", but also a revealing look at our love affair with the world's most doted upon and tinkered with animal species, examining the colossal array of dog types and humans who love them. By and large, the book follows Jack as he grows over the course of a year (through Westminster, in February of 2011) from still-improving adolescent to seasoned adult show dog. We get to know him and the people around him, to experience what it's like to own a show dog, and to train one. And at the end of every day we come to appreciate him for what he is, a loveable and intelligent house pet-albeit one with a highly unusual acumen. Supplementing Jack's story is the history and sociology of this eccentric and fascinating subculture of breeders and dog show fanciers.Dean explores the history of breeding and of dog shows, and all the many related peculiarities: judging, training, naming, promoting, hair styling, kennel owning, RV driving, hotel finding, treat selecting, and more.

Few animals strike as much fear as snakes, which kill either through their poisonous venom or through suffocation. Numbering more than 3000 species, snakes can be found in virtually every environment other than Antarctica, from the jungles of the Amazon to the Gobi desert and Australian Outback. Some snakes even inhabit the rivers and seas. Arranged by continent, Snakes offers an engaging pictorial introduction to these prehistoric predators. Find out about the black mamba, which is feared because it possesses an extremely potent venom that kills most of its victims – animal and human; see the banded krait, whose venom is a neurotoxin that induces instant paralysis; learn about the reticulated python, the world’s longest constrictor, regularly reaching over 6 metres (20ft) in length; and marvel at the tiny Barbados threadsnake, which typically grows to a length of 10cm (4in) and has been compared to a spaghetti noodle! With full captions explaining the history, behaviour and feeding habits of more than 150 snake species, Snakes is a fascinating examination of these highly colourful reptilian killers in more than 180 vivid photographs.

“The animal rescue culture is one of the most fascinating sub-cultures in American life, and Amy Sutherland explores it with honesty, humor, and great insight. This is not another sappy book about saving animals, but a valuable journey into the best spirit of this extraordinary new movement.” — Jon Katz, author of TALKING TO ANIMALSTerrified Penny Jane, brassy but filthy Dixie Lou, tough-guy Dingo and the crazed, nippy jester, Walter Joe. These are not your average cute-and-cared-for, well-trained pups, these are shelter dogs — they are scared, aggressive, so painfully shy that they can't look you in the eye, and have languished so long without attention that they are slipping into a dark place, one where they will no longer be able to bond with people. Best-selling author Amy Sutherland started walking shelter dogs in 2001 and is a member of the elite corps of volunteers at Boston's Animal Rescue League, where she helped train dogs with serious behavior problems. In Rescuing Penny Jane, Amy tells the story of her adventures working at a shelter, helping dozens of dogs discover that the right person can give them love, hope and a whole new life - and adopting two rescue puppies of her own. Alongside Amy's touching, funny and insightful stories, dog owners will find a wealth of practical tips, such as how to read a dog's body language, handle behavior problems and select a shelter dog. A humorous, affecting portrait of the relationships between shelter dogs and their rescuers, Rescuing Penny Jane is a book that dog lovers everywhere will take to heart and treasure.
