Greyhound Handicapping With Eb This book is for anyone who has ever tried to figure out the puzzle that is greyhound handicapping. It summarizes the knowledge I've gathered over almost forty years of going to the track, reading programs, and watching races and schooling races. If I figured out something by poring over thousands of programs and comparing data over a year of races at several tracks, it's in here. If I picked up a nugget of wisdom from a trainer or fellow handicapper, and found out that it helped me pick more winners, it's in here. Well, almost all of them are in here. After all, I have to keep a few tricks in reserve for my next book - or the next race.	A Greyhound of a Girl - $9.62 Mary O’Hara is a sharp and cheeky 12-year-old Dublin schoolgirl who is bravely facing the fact that her beloved Granny is dying. But Granny can’t let go of life, and when a mysterious young woman turns up in Mary’s street with a message for her Granny, Mary gets pulled into an unlikely adventure. The woman is the ghost of Granny’s own mother, who has come to help her daughter say good-bye to her loved ones and guide her safely out of this world. She needs the help of Mary and her mother, Scarlett, who embark on a road trip to the past. Four generations of women travel on a midnight car journey. One of them is dead, one of them is dying, one of them is driving, and one of them is just starting out. Praise for A Greyhound of a Girl STARRED REVIEW “A warm, witty, exquisitely nuanced multigenerational story.” –Kirkus Reviews, starred review STARRED REVIEW “This elegantly constructed yet beautifully simple story, set in Ireland and spun with affection by Booker Prize–winner Doyle, will be something different for YA readers. These four lilting voices will linger long after the book is closed.” –Booklist, starred review
Greyhounds - $9.98 Few dogs are as emotionally engaging or physically elegant as the greyhound. None are as swift. Its unmatched fleetness is key to the breed’s longtime survival. Bred to hunt, the greyhound has a lineage extending back 8,000 years. Throughout their history, greyhounds have been the companions of kings and an inspiration to writers and artists alike. Today hundreds of young and healthy purebred greyhounds that do not make the grade on U.S. racetracks are in need of adoptive homes. Through the efforts of hundreds of greyhound-adoption groups, more than 20,000 former racing dogs are adopted into loving homes each year. With greater exposure of the breed, and greater awareness of their plight, all of these dogs can be placed after their tenure on the track and the breeding farms is over. The otherworldly beauty, quiet grace, and loving disposition of the retired racing greyhound were Barbara Karant’s inspiration for Greyhounds. By photographing her subjects against a pristine white background, she captures the dogs’ indomitable spirit—their spunk, humor, mystery, and charm. Karant’s gloriously expressive pictures, along with evocative texts by Alice Sebold and other writers, make this book a wonderful gift for anyone who has ever shared his or her life with a dog.	Jesse's Tale: Overcoming Fear Aggression and Separation Anxiety in an Adopted Greyhound: How to Care For and Train an Adopted Racing Greyhound with Behavioral Problems - $14.95 All adopted racing greyhounds find life as a household pet a radically new experience. If a dog has behavioral problems, the transition is even more challenging, both for the animal and the new family. This book offers insights and commonsense advice for those who have adopted, or are considering adopting, a fearful, shy, or aggressive dog. The author's greyhound, Jesse, initially hid his behavioral aberrations. Soon it became apparent that Jesse suffered from Fear Aggressive tendencies and Separation Anxiety. He required special handling and training by someone willing and able to complete the rescue. Elaine Webster shows how she and her husband Blake helped Jesse become a loving addition to their home. This is their story, and it could be yours.
The Holy Greyhound: Guinefort, Healer of Children since the Thirteenth Century (Cambridge Studies in Oral and Literate Culture) - $28.88 The legend of a dog which is unjustly killed by its master in error, after it has defended his child from attack by a snake or wolf, appears in several popular cultures of Indo-European origin. This book concentrates on one local manifestation of the legend: a cult among the peasants of the Dombes, north of Lyons, who brought their sick child to the grave of 'Saint Guinefort', the martyred greyhound, for preservation from disease. Providing a rare access to the underlying cultural traditions of Europe, all too often submerged in the survivals of literate culture, this book will be welcomed by a wide range of historians and anthropologists.	The History Of Greyhound Racing In New England - $13.23 The History of Greyhound Racing In New England relates the story of the rise and fall of dog racing in this area. At one time there were 12 dog tracks in five New England states and the sport drew huge crowds to watch the nation’s leading Hall of Fame greyhounds compete in the most prestigious stakes races. The sport flourished for more than six decades here but outside forces beyond its control led to its demise. Today there are no dog tracks in New England. This book traces the rapid rise and the slow decline of the sport and analyzes the reasons that caused it to fail.
