How to foster dogs : from homeless to homeward bound / by Miller, Pat,1951 October 14-(CARDINAL)661794;
Includes bibliographical references and index.A fostering overview -- Ready, set GO! -- Bringing your foster home -- Care, behavior and training of your foster dog -- Problem behavior : the myth of dominance and alpha -- Common problem behaviors : barking, escaping, house soiling -- Problem behavior : helping your fearful foster dog find courage -- Problem behavior : aggression and your foster dog -- Problem behavior : separation and isolation -- A foster dog's worst nightmare -- Placing your foster dog-it's okay to cry.Deals specifically with the care and training needs of foster dogs and how the fostering process works when done on a formal arrangement with an organization like a shelter or breed rescue group. Fostering dogs involves caring on a temporary basis for puppies and dogs who for whatever reason cannot be housed with their owners, shelters or breed rescue organizations. Many shelters now have formal fostering programs for dogs who are too young, unhealthy or have behavioral issues and therefore have to be housed with a foster family or face euthanasia. The book also covers informal fostering situations when families move or have some disruption and a friend or relative agrees to care for the dog temporarily.

Sowing modernity : America's first agricultural revolution / by McClelland, Peter D.(CARDINAL)155502;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 295-337) and index.The problem -- The approach -- Plowing -- Sowing -- Harrowing -- Cultivating -- Reaping -- Threshing -- Winnowing and straw cutting -- Novus Ordo Seclorum? -- Remedies for soil exhaustion -- Breeding and raising livestock."Contrary to those who regard the economic transformation of the West as a gradual process spanning centuries, Peter D. McClelland claims the initial transformation of American agriculture was an unmistakable revolution. He asks when a single crucial quetion was first directed persistently, pervasively, and systematically to farming practices: Is there a better way?" "McClelland surveys practices from crop rotation to livestock breeding, with a particular focus on the change in implements used to produce small grains. With wit and verve and an abundance of detail, he demonstrates that the first great surge in inventive activity in agronomy in the United States took place following the War of 1812, much of it in a fifteen-year period ending in 1830." "With the aid of more than 270 illustrations, many of them taken from contemporary sources, McClelland describes this stunning transformation in a manner rarely found in the agricultural literature. How primitive farming implements worked, what their defects were, and how they were initially redesigned are explained in a manner intelligible to the novice and yet offering analysis and information of special interest to the expert."--BOOK JACKET.
