HUMAN ANIMALS CARRY DEEP AMBIVALENCE TOWARD OTHER ANIMALS.
One major thing: We eat them. We also hunt them, ride them, stuff them, wear their fur, walk on their skin, live with them, train them and display them; we dominate them for our benefit, humanize and demonize them. And some of us, through all of this, say we love them.
From gangster to opera star, Vietnam veteran to Nob Hill lady, academic to meth addict, our lives intersect with animals'' lives in cities, towns and rural areas. The encounters in these reality fiction tales highlight the vulnerability of being present with and for animals at those intersections where there are few traffic signals.
Animals and humans thrive in our unique entanglement, framed by love and awe. Our corporeal teachers, animal beings open our senses of sight, smell and touch, offering gifts of mutual recognition, regard and empathy. Making connections in jumps and starts, we humans are just beginning to consider the perspectives and the agency of other living beings.
Told with curiosity and a deep concern for reciprocity, Brown''s unique stories reveal mysteries that are bigger than you or me.
Some things you didn''t want to know about working in an animal shelter. Many things you ought to know. More than a few things you need to know.

It is impossible to be perfect, let alone be a perfect parent. The realities of everyday life impact us all. No matter how much experience we have, there is no optimal way to handle every turn of your child''s younger years. The independent variables of place, time, situation, family culture, and your child''s personality make motherhood the ultimate "think on your feet" job.
This book is divided into four sections:
Part I: Lessen the Lesson, is devoted to the way in which you as a mom show your child the positive pathways through life by the use of example, mentoring, and spoken expectations.
Part II: Teaching the Four Cornerstones of Success, describes the four things you need to teach your children to help them gain a successful life.
Part III: Pace and Push focuses on the daily schedule our family followed and the sequential path of each of our children from childhood to young adulthood which resulted in their scholarships and present achievements.
Part IV: The Empowerment of Mom focuses on the daily practice to help balance your personal life with motherhood and to make your job more manageable so you can achieve with your family as a team as you win your race together.
