for your teenager's first dog
Because I've read dozens of dog books by now, I'm pretty fussy about them.I want them to have fresh new insights to solving problems I've found unsolvable.For that, this is not a suitable book.

On the other hand, it is an EXCELLENT starter book, written in a simple and very readable style.This is the book I would choose to give a teenager who is starting out with a new dog.The questions are posed from the canine point of view with charming results.Here's one of my favorites:

"I enjoyed watching television when I lived in Europe, but now that I have moved to America, all I see is a blur.What has happened to my eyes?"

Fogle goes on to explain that European television transmission is higher speed than in the US.American transmission is slow enough that all dogs see is dots.This will be cured when high-definition TV becomes more popular in the US.(Learn something new every day....) ... Read more

Product Description
Caribbean revisioning of British literature is well established in creative work where it expresses itself in rewriting and writing back. In addition, Caribbean literary criticism has included an occasional rereading of imperial text (like Shakespeare's "Tempest") that seems immediately applicable to Caribbean culture. Part of mature Caribbean discourse must be a wider application of the Caribbean experience to demystifying an imperilled tradition.British literature, from the medieval to the postmodern, has been the training ground of Caribbean authors, poets and critics, and continues to be taught at secondary and tertiary levels throughout the region and in a wide range of countries that share the region's history of colonialism. Little has been done, however, to integrate Caribbean approaches to the canon."Postcolonialisms" interrogates the place of early English verse in relation to the British canon, proposing that the first postcolonial literature in English was English itself, a vernacular literature developing from a series of contact situations and evolving as a mechanism of resistance.The enquiry integrates several approaches to textual study, drawing together on the one hand, postcolonial and Caribbean criticism and, on the other, methods of historical and contact linguistics, and applying these within a framework of thought consistent with New Medievalism.The text is framed to discuss that the society that produced Middle English literature was built on a past of contact, conquest and dispossession, with lyrics reflecting a worldview in which individual human stature shrinks and insecurity intensifies. Major texts reread include the "Canterbury Tales", "Piers Plowman" and "The Pardoner's Prologue". ... Read more
