"Grandma, what is going to happen to the characters in Understanding Sassie?" Jacob asked. My grandson had enjoyed reading my book but wanted to know more about its characters. He continued his questioning and asked, "Are you going to write more about Sassie and all the other people in the book?" So, I have.
Understanding Sassie, II, starts with some turmoil in the Riverview region. Two teenagers hope to have canine pets, but each faces a different reaction from parents.
A dog thief is in town, looking for victims for his vicious Pit Bull Terrier, Champ, in his illegal dog-fighting exhibitions. Dog-behavior-specialist Millie and her husband, Animal Control Officer Mike, suspect local dogs are being dognapped and abused.
Riverview Animal Shelter makes their dogs available for adoption, but they are rather lax about checking out the people who are adopting them. This needs to change, and quickly, or they are going to be supplying dogs for the dog-fighting operation.
The Shelter runs classes to train the dog owners to train their dogs. Millie explains to the attendees what is being done and why. Even Puppy Play Day has its educational component. Sassie has been trained to be a Diabetic Service Dog; she can tell when her owner is on the edge of a diabetic crisis, and this turns out to save a life.
Families are strange sometimes. People can suddenly discover they are related. A step-brother and step-sister find each other at a particularly providential time.
A hurricane down South leads to complications in providing for the displaced animals at the Shelter.
Two of the adults involved with the Shelter find they have more in common than they first realized. Two others have to deal with a medical emergency.
Sassie brings two shy grown-ups together, to the delight of the young girl who loves her.
In my many years of teaching dog obedience, I have discovered that not all humans understand what the dog is trying to tell them. Although I've enjoyed my opportunities to teach classes on dog communication (the body language of dogs), my goal has always been to reach a wider audience.
I've always enjoyed telling stories. I have discovered that stories can help us to remember and learn valuable information. I hope the reader will find these stories entertaining and informative.

Описание: New Zealand dolphins, also known as Hectors dolphins, are fascinating and beautiful animals. Found only in New Zealand waters, their numbers are now under constant threat-especially from human fishing activities. This book introduces the dolphin to readers of all ages. The authors have devoted the last 30 years-more than a dolphin lifespan-to intensive study of the dolphins distribution, behavior, biology, reproduction and communication, using photography as their principal research tool. They have identified over 100 individuals and recorded their life events. Several of these dolphins feature inside.

Автор: Leonard Janet L. Название: Transitions Between Sexual Systems: Understanding the Mechanisms Of, and Pathways Between, Dioecy, Hermaphroditism and Other Sexual Systems ISBN: 3319941372 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783319941370 Издательство: Springer Рейтинг: Цена: 186330.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: This book focuses on explaining the distribution of sexual systems (simultaneous hermaphroditism, sequential hermaphroditism, environmental sex determination,dioecy, androdioecy, etc.) among taxa, which remains a major challenge in evolutionary biology. Although significant advances have been made for angiosperms, there is not yet a theory that predicts the sexual system for the majority of animal taxa, and other taxa of plants also remain poorly understood. The problem, particularly for animals, is that sexual systems can be very conservative, with whole phyla and classes being characterized by a single sexual system; for example essentially the whole phylum Platyhelminthes is simultaneously hermaphroditic, whereas the Insecta (Hexapoda) and the Tetrapoda among the vertebrates, are exclusively dioecious. Sex allocation theory on the other hand, suggests that sexual systems should be highly responsive to evolution, changing with population density, life span, patterns of resource availability, etc. The book provides an overview of the topic and then presents a series of chapters, each dealing with a taxon with substantial lability in sexual system in order to identify the factors associated with changes in sexual system in each case. By doing so, the authors reveal factors that have not been considered in formal theory but seem to have a major impact on transitions between sexual systems.This book appeals to a wide readership in fields from zoology and evolutionary biology to botany.
