EDITORIAL REVIEW:
**“Dogs are blameless, devoid of calculation, neither blessed nor cursed with human motives. They can’t really be held responsible for what they do. But we can.”–from *The Dogs of Bedlam Farm***When Jon Katz adopted a border collie named Orson, his whole world changed. Gone were the two yellow Labs he wrote about in *A Dog Year,* as was the mountaintop cabin they loved. Katz moved into an old farmhouse on forty-two acres of pasture and woods with a menagerie: a ram named Nesbitt, fifteen ewes, a lonely donkey named Carol, a baby donkey named Fanny, and three border collies. Training Orson was a demanding project. But a perceptive dog trainer and friend told Katz: “If you want to have a better dog, you will just have to be a better goddamned human.” It was a lesson Katz took to heart. He now sees his dogs as a reflection of his willingness to improve, as well as a critical reminder of his shortcomings. Katz shows us that dogs are often what we make them: They may have their own traits and personalities, but in the end, they are mirrors of our own lives–living, breathing testaments to our strengths and frustrations, our families and our pasts.*The Dogs of Bedlam Farm* recounts a harrowing winter Katz spent on a remote, windswept hillside in upstate New York with a few life-saving friends, ugly ghosts from the past, and more livestock than any novice should attempt to manage. Heartwarming, and full of drama, insight, and hard-won wisdom, it is the story of his several dogs forced Katz to confront his sense of humanity, and how he learned the places a dog could lead him and the ways a doge could change him.*From the Hardcover edition.* Views: 14

Over 3,000 men were lost. This authoritative account looks at the planning, execution and analyses the reasons for failure. Views: 14

### Product Description *Underground* is the novel that at least half the country has been waiting for. Think ahead five or so years from now, to an Australia transformed by the never-ending war on terror. Canberra has been wiped out in a nuclear attack. There is a permanent state of emergency. Security checkpoints, citizenship tests, identity cards and detention without trial have all become the norm. Suspect minorities have been locked away into ghettos. And worse - no one wants to play cricket with us anymore. Enter Leo James - burnt-out property developer and black-sheep twin brother of the all powerful Bernard James, Prime Minister of Australia. In an event all too typical of the times, Leo finds himself abducted by terrorists. But this won't be your average kidnapping. Instead, vast and secret forces are at work here, and Leo and his captors are about to embark on a journey into the underworld of a nation gone mad. Like some bastard child of Dr Strangelove and George Orwell, *Underground* is both an adrenalin-pumped thriller and a gleefully barbed satire that takes a chainsaw to political neo-correctness and Australia's new ultra-nationalism. Blistering and blackly comic, this book goes straight to the heart of the country's future - and it isn't pretty. Views: 14

intricate portrait of the last days of one of the most influential and
important figures in English history.The imprisonment and
execution of Queen Anne Boleyn, Henry VIII's second wife, was

its day, and has exerted endless fascination over the minds of
historians, novelists, dramatists, poets, artists, and filmmakers ever
since.Mystery surrounds the circumstances leading up to Anne's
arrest and imprisonment in May 1536. Was it Henry VIII who, estranged
from Anne, instructed Master Secretary Thomas Cromwell to fabricate
evidence to get rid of her so that he could marry Jane Seymour? Or did
Cromwell, for reasons of his own, construct a case against Anne and her
faction, and then present compelling evidence before the King?Following
the coronation of her daughter Elizabeth I as queen, Anne was venerated
as a martyr and heroine. Over the centuries, she has inspired many
artistic and cultural works and has remained ever-present in England's,
and the world's, popular memory. Alison Weir draws on her unsurpassed
expertise in the Tudor Period to chronicle the downfall and dramatic
final days of this influential and fascinating woman. Views: 14
