 | Raising Rover by Judith Halliburton
Raising Rover takes a dog owner through the dog`s life, with all of the how, why, when, and where questions answered. This book takes the struggle out of housetraining and encouraging obedience. Whenever any of us is trying to find the best way to train a dog, or trying to solve a canine behavioral problem, we are offered advice from veterinarians, breeders, trainers, even well-intentioned neighbors, but the advice is often confusing, even contradictory. What you`ll find in this book is sensible advice that makes sense for the kind of dog one has. Judith Halliburton`s instruction works because she takes into account your particular breed. The best way to housetrain a puppy is as an individual, understanding the personality traits that are unique to a breed. Too often dogs are lumped into the A dog is a dog is a dog category, and what the dog is truly about, as an individual, is never allowed to shine. What the dog owner who`s chosen to adopt a golden retriever will see, for example, is that the breed is profoundly different from the neighbor`s Pekingese. These two breeds don`t housetrain by the same method, they don`t enjoy the same games, they look at learning differently, and their personalities are different right down to the basics.

 | Sea Soup by Bill Curtsinger, Mary M. Cerullo
A teaspoon of sea water can hold a soupy serving of a million phytoplankton and zooplankton! These tiny floating plants and animals come in thousands of amazing variations. Invisible to the naked eye, phytoplankton are the source of our atmosphere, our climate, our ocean food chain, much of our oil supply, and more. They're also food for zooplankton, tiny animals that often look like weird life forms from outer space. In these two volumes, Mary Cerullo's text answers intriguing questions about these tiny drifters that have shaped our world, while Bill Curtsinger's extraordinary photomicroscopy serves up tantalizing images of this sea soup. Many of the photos for these books were taken at Maine's Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Science and the Darling Marine Center, using an Axiophot 2 research microscope donated by Carl Zeiss, Inc.
