The Dog And Its Genome (Cold Spring Harbor Monograph Series) (Cold Spring Harbor Monograph Series)
Author: Elaine A. Ostrander
Binding: Hardcover
Price: $96.79
Dogs of different breeds can range remarkably in size, shape, and behavior, and yet they all carry essentially the same genome, making them a particularly fascinating model for genome plasticity. The recent release of the complete sequence of the dog genome provides an exciting new context in which to consider such variation. Twentyfive chapters written by experts in the field include various aspects of morphological and behavioral variation in dogs, their origins and domestication, and their unique value as a model system for many common but complex human diseases such as diabetes and cancer.

Author: Tina M. Barber with Cinnamon Kennedy
Binding: Perfect Paperback
Price: $46.88
The publisher believes that this book is *** "a first of its kind in the modern era." *** After extensive research back until the early 1900's he was unable to find a memoir written by a breed founder. The Shiloh Shepherd Story narrates with candor and frankness the story of how the Shiloh Shepherd dog came to be a living reality. Few of us have any real conception of what is involved in the birth of a new dog breed, or the difficulties and setbacks that seem necessarily to go along with the process. Tina Barber's tenacity in pursuit of her vision, her refusal to give up in the face of adversity, make up the elements of an inspiring real-life drama of triumph through faith, in her God, in herself, in her dream, in her dogs. This book is probably unlike any dog book you have ever read: rip-roaring, gripping, exciting a spiritual and canine thriller! Endorsed by the
