"Purtroppo Tommy non annusa. Questo è il suo vero problema! Se annusasse di più avrebbe meno guai secondo me." Parola di Teodorico, Teo per gli amici, cane filosofo e poeta, che si trova a dover affrontare grossi rischi per soccorrere il suo migliore amico, Tommy, che è caduto nelle grinfie di due bulli e non sa proprio a che santo votarsi, in un momento in cui gli amici sono tutti in vacanza, (sarebbero utili soprattutto i pugni di Pietro, detto la roccia), e i genitori... per carità, dei genitori non ne parliamo neanche, sarebbe davvero un bel guaio se lo venissero a sapere! Qualcuno che vorrebbe aiutarlo ci sarebbe, per dire la verità; una ragazzina italo-francese un po' sballata che si chiama Giselle e che è venuta a stare nella casa accanto. Ma quello che Giselle propone è veramente inaccettabile, purtroppo: un incantesimo da fare di notte seguendo le istruzioni di un vecchio, puzzolente e incartapecorito libro di magia. Roba da matti! Anzi, roba da femmine, secondo Tommy, eppure... ON TWO FEET AND FOUR PAWS, versione inglese del romanzo Su Due Piedi e Quattro Zampe, è una coinvolgente avventura da condividere con Tommy e Teo, che ci trascinano dentro la storia alternandosi nella narrazione e mettendo a nudo i loro pensieri e sentimenti. Adatto per bambini a partire dai nove anni e per tutti coloro che amano gli animali.

Why believe? What kinds of things do people believe in? How have they come to believe them? And how does what they believe - or disbelieve - shape their lives and the meaning the world has for them? For Graham Ward, who is one of the mostinnovative writers on contemporary religion, these questions are more than just academic. They go to the heart not only of who but of what we are as human beings. Over the last thirty years, our understandings of mind and consciousness have changed in important ways through exciting new developments in neuroscience. The author addresses this quantum shift by exploring the biology of believing. He offers sustained reflection on perception, cognition, time, emotional intelligence, knowledge and sensation. Though the 'truth' of belief remains under increasing attack, in a thoroughly secularised context, Ward boldly argues that secularity is itself a form of believing. Pointing to the places where prayer and dreams intersect, this book offers a remarkable journey through philosophy, theology and culture, thereby revealing the true nature of the human condition.

'There is one animal that is familiar to all of us, whoever we are, wherever we live' 'Even if we've never had direct contact with one, we will have seen one, or at the very least, heard one. For those of us who live in the western world it is more than likely that one sleeps in our house, possibly even on our bed. I'm talking of course, of the dog. Yet, this animal, which lives alongside five hundred million of us all over the world - as an invaluable partner and a trusted confidant - presents us with one great unsolved mystery: how did this relationship - the most complex and enduring of any between human and animal - start in the first place?' Kate Humble is a life-long animal lover. Now living on an idyllic farm in Wales, she has achieved her dream of surrounding herself with as many varieties as possible. But, as with many Brits, the dog has always held a special place in her heart. Here, she uses her journey with her sheepdog puppy Teg to frame her examination of this very special relationship. Written with warmth and love, and packed full of stories about rescue dogs, guide dogs, service dogs and medical dogs, this is a must-read for anyone with a four-legged friend.
