The Secret Language of Cats
Author: Susanne Schötz
Publisher: Harlequin
ISBN: 1488099618
Category : Pets
Languages : en
Pages : 166
Book Description
Have you ever wondered what your cat is saying? Cats do not meow randomly, nor do they growl or hiss because they have nothing better to do. Cat sounds have a purpose, and they can carry important messages, whether for us or other cats. Susanne Schötz is hard at work on breaking the cat code. She is a professor at Lund University in Sweden, where a long-standing research program is proving that cats do actually use vocal communication—with each other and with their human caretakers. Understanding the vocal strategies used in human-cat communication will have profound implications for how we communicate with our pets, and has the potential to improve the relationship between animals and humans within several fields, including animal therapy, veterinary medicine and animal sheltering. In The Secret Language of Cats, Schötz offers a crash course in the phonetic study of cat sounds. She introduces us to the full range of feline vocalizations and explains what they can mean in different situations, and she gives practical tips to help us understand our cats better.

Pages : 206
Book Description
Max As a cat shifter, I was a brilliant reporter. I got the scoops no human could sniff out. It was a lonely-small town life, but my career was everything. My boss sent me to investigate the new bookstore in town. Was the owner, “Ethan Bourne,” actually the famous novelist E. Borneo, who’d just been outed as an alpha? I could smell his alpha pheromones. It was my omega time of the year. Things happened. And now we’re expecting — but I’m doubting I can expect anything from this out-of-town alpha I barely know. Before I met Ethan, I never dared to dream of fatherhood. Now I quit my job and gave up my room at my family's farmhouse so I could raise the baby I'm carrying. I’m daring to dream of a new life with my beloved Ethan — but everyone says I’m just dreaming. Ethan Hiding out anonymously in Knotting Hill was the plan, until I met Max: the accomplished journalist, the cat rescuer, the gorgeous omega who stepped into my bookstore with all his omega heat pheromones blazing. I never thought I’d be a father. Max and his mom still think I can’t handle it, but I’m determined to prove them wrong. I just don’t know if I can handle being rejected by them, after in New York I was thrown away by my parents, my readers, and even my landlord. I love Knotting Hill. I love Max too. I want to be the perfect alpha mate, but will Max and his family finally start to trust me? Secret Cat Shifter Omega is a 60,000-word shifter mpreg romance with a hard-won HEA and an adorable baby. May contain bacon banana oatmeal, feline snark, stolen salmon, and a pottymouthed teenage sister.

Pages : 289
Book Description
How did a Venice Beach T-shirt vendor become television's most successful producer? How did an entrepreneur who started in a garage create the most iconic product launches in business history? How did a timid pastor's son overcome a paralyzing fear of public speaking to captivate sold-out crowds at Yankee Stadium, twice? How did a human rights attorney earn TED's longest standing ovation, and how did a Facebook executive launch a movement to encourage millions of women to "lean in"? They told brilliant stories. In The Storyteller's Secret: From TED Speakers to Business Legends, Why Some Ideas Catch on and Others Don't, keynote speaker, bestselling author, and communication expert Carmine Gallo reveals the keys to telling powerful stories that inspire, motivate, educate, build brands, launch movements, and change lives. The New York Times has called a well-told story "a strategic tool with irresistible power" - the proof lies in the success stories of 50 icons, leaders, and legends featured in The Storyteller's Secret: entrepreneurs like Richard Branson, Sara Blakely, Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, and Sheryl Sandberg; spellbinding speakers like Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Bryan Stevenson, and Malala Yousafzai; and business leaders behind famous brands such as Starbucks, Southwest Airlines, Wynn Resorts, Whole Foods, and Pixar. Whether your goal is to educate, fundraise, inspire teams, build an award-winning culture, or to deliver memorable presentations, a story is your most valuable asset and your competitive advantage. In The Storyteller's Secret, Gallo explains why the brain is hardwired to love stories - especially rags-to-riches stories - and how the latest science can help you craft a persuasive narrative that wins hearts and minds. "The art of storytelling can be used to drive change," says billionaire entrepreneur Richard Branson. And since the next decade will see the most change our civilization has ever known, your story will radically transform your business, your life, and the lives of those you touch. Ideas that catch on are wrapped in story. Your story can change the world. Isn't it time you shared yours?
