Book Description
#1 New York Times Bestseller “Funny and smart as hell” (Bill Gates), Allie Brosh’s Hyperbole and a Half showcases her unique voice, leaping wit, and her ability to capture complex emotions with deceptively simple illustrations. FROM THE PUBLISHER: Every time Allie Brosh posts something new on her hugely popular blog Hyperbole and a Half the internet rejoices. This full-color, beautifully illustrated edition features more than fifty percent new content, with ten never-before-seen essays and one wholly revised and expanded piece as well as classics from the website like, “The God of Cake,” “Dogs Don’t Understand Basic Concepts Like Moving,” and her astonishing, “Adventures in Depression,” and “Depression Part Two,” which have been hailed as some of the most insightful meditations on the disease ever written. Brosh’s debut marks the launch of a major new American humorist who will surely make even the biggest scrooge or snob laugh. We dare you not to. FROM THE AUTHOR: This is a book I wrote. Because I wrote it, I had to figure out what to put on the back cover to explain what it is. I tried to write a long, third-person summary that would imply how great the book is and also sound vaguely authoritative—like maybe someone who isn’t me wrote it—but I soon discovered that I’m not sneaky enough to pull it off convincingly. So I decided to just make a list of things that are in the book: Pictures Words Stories about things that happened to me Stories about things that happened to other people because of me Eight billion dollars* Stories about dogs The secret to eternal happiness* *These are lies. Perhaps I have underestimated my sneakiness!

Book Description
You know your dog can sit, fetch, and roll over, but can he respond to “fetch” commands in multiple languages? What about rolling dice? Help you play Sudoku? Recognize Mozart? From the author of Test Your Dog’s IQ Genius Edition comes a brand-new spin on how to recognize your pet’s potential—only this time it’s not finding out how good of a pet your dog could be, but instead if he could tackle the world on his own. To help you find out, Rachel Federman and acclaimed illustrator Chuck Gonzales have paired up to create a visually-rich handbook filled to the brim with quizzes that ask you to imagine your dog in various situations, activity tests for you to perform with your dog, and games to help boost your dog’s brainpower. These exercises might not get your four-legged friend into the college of his choice, but they’ll certainly give you another way to bond with your pup. They’ll also allow you to score his results. If your dog really is a superstar, he should be able to do more than simply meet his own needs all day long. With Test Your Dog's IQ Genius Edition, it’s time to find out if you’ve been catering to your dog for too long; if your pooch is a mooch when he could be pulling his own weight around the house. This fun, affordable guidebook will release in sync with Test Your Cat's IQ Genius Edition, just as Test Your Dog’s IQ and Test Your Cat’s IQ released in sync in 2013. The content is brand-new and complemented by four-color illustrations throughout.

Book Description
Chaser has a way with words. She knows over a thousand of them—more than any other animal of any species except humans. In addition to common nouns like house, ball, and tree, she has memorized the names of more than one thousand toys and can retrieve any of them on command. Based on that learning, she and her owner and trainer, retired psychologist John Pilley, have moved on to further impressive feats, demonstrating her ability to understand sentences with multiple elements of grammar and to learn new behaviors by imitation. John’s ingenuity and tenacity as a researcher are as impressive as Chaser’s accomplishments. His groundbreaking approach has opened the door to a new understanding of animal intelligence, one that requires us to reconsider what actually goes on in a dog’s mind. Chaser’s achievements reveal her use of deductive reasoning and complex problem-solving skills to address novel challenges. Yet astonishingly, Chaser isn’t unique. John’s training methods can be adopted by any dog lover. Through the poignant story of how he trained Chaser, raised her as a member of the Pilley family, and proved her abilities to the scientific community, he reveals the positive impact of incorporating learning into play and more effectively channeling a dog’s natural drives. John’s work with Chaser offers a fresh perspective on what’s possible in the relationship between a dog and a human. His story points us toward a new way of relating to our canine companions that takes into account our evolving understanding of the way animals and humans learn.
