Hardback. Zustand: Good. Does your cat come when you call, make sounds upon request, play fetch, or open doors? Thousands of cat owners may swear that their felines are, in fact, too smart to perform on command, but if you want to measure your pet's intelligence anyway, this is the book for you. These short, easy quizzes are designed to test your cat's social abilities, communication skills, coordination, sensory perception, and memory using simple experiments with household items.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Bath Thoughts from Berkeley is a three-part novel that spans the years from World War I to the Millennium through the eyes of two sisters who come of age in Berkeley, California in the rich and turbulent '60s. The intimate lives of the sisters, their families, and their friends are woven into historical events and cultural trends of the half century, particularly the space race, the civil rights movement, political campaigns, and the various wars of the time, as well as music and literature of the period. John Steinbeck's comment: Look from the tide pools to the stars and back again guided development of the four voices that tell the story: The storyteller; the two sisters, Mattie and Josie Randall; and Caitlin, Josie's daughter. The storyteller guides the reader through historical and cultural events that impact the sisters, while the sisters' bath thoughts and interactions reveal their individual spirits, dreams, and perceptions. Fertile Soil (Part 1) chronicles the lives of Mattie and Josie from their childhood during World War I to the early '70s in Berkeley and London. The Wanderers (Part I) is the voice of Caitlin, who rides the rails throughout the States during the late '70s and '80s. Toward the Millennium (Part I) begins during the Gulf War when Mattie and Josie are in their fifties. The novel ends in the spring of 2000 as family members return to their growing-up place.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. Recent biographies of Thomas Jefferson have stressed the sphinxlike puzzles of his character -- famous champion of freedom yet lifelong slaveholder, foe of Miscegenation yet secret lover of a beautiful slave for thirty years, aristocrat yet fervent advocate of government by the people. E. M. Halliday's absorbing, compact, and lucid portrait recognizes these and other puzzles about this great founder, but shows us how understandable they can be in the light of his personal and social circumstances and common human experience.Here are all the pivotal episodes of Jefferson's life: the writing of the Declaration of Independence, his years in Paris, his feud with Alexander Hamilton, the surprising Louisiana Purchase, and his post presidential reconciliation with John Adams. But Halliday's account takes readers deeper, into Jefferson's personal, private life, exploring his childhood, his literary taste, and his unconventional religious thinking and moral philosophy. Here, too, are his adamant opinions on women, the evolution of his ideas on democracy and freedom of expression, and fresh insights into his long relationship with Sally Heimings.…
