es troba la dona i el seu millor amic Lou, despullats al llit. Quan Morty està a punt d'obrir la boca, Lou surt d'un salt del llit i li diu: «Abans que diguis res, amic meu, a qui creuràs, a mi o als teus ulls?» Lou planteja la pregunta sobre quina mena de dades són segures i per què. És fantàstic, diuen els autors, hi ha una colla d'acudits que ocupen el mateix terreny d'idees que les disciplines filosòfiques. Cathcart i Klein ens fan veure què significa la lògica, l'existencialisme, la relativitat, l'ètica, etc., a través d'aquest llibre ple de vida i d'historietes divertides. També les probabilitats i l'estadística. «Si has de pujar en un avió, i vols sentir-te segur, porta una bomba. Perquè les probabilitats que a l'avió hi hagi algú que en porti una altra són ínfimes».Loch Down Abbey: Downton Abbey meets locked-room mystery in this playful, humorous novel set in 1930s Scotland

By Gisela Kaplan. 2015
In her comprehensive and carefully crafted book, Gisela Kaplan demonstrates how intelligent and emotional Australian birds can be. She describes…
complex behaviours such as grieving, deception, problem solving and the use of tools. Many Australian birds cooperate and defend each other, and exceptional ones go fishing by throwing breadcrumbs in the water, extract poisonous parts from prey and use tools to crack open eggshells and mussels. Kaplan brings together evidence of many such cognitive abilities, suggesting plausible reasons for their appearance in Australian birds. Bird Minds is the first attempt to shine a critical and scientific light on the cognitive behaviour of Australian land birds. In this fascinating volume, the author also presents recent changes in our understanding of the avian brain and links these to life histories and longevity. Following on from Kaplan's well-received books on the Australian Magpie and the Tawny Frogmouth, as well as two earlier titles on birds, Bird Minds contends that the unique and often difficult conditions of Australia's environment have been crucial for the evolution of unusual complexities in avian cognition and behaviour.The Dogs of War: The Courage, Love, and Loyalty of Military Working Dogs
By Lisa Rogak. 2011
Military working dogs gained widespread attention after Cairo participated in the SEAL Team 6 mission that led to Osama bin…
Laden's death. Before that, few civilians realized that dogs served in combat, let alone that they could parachute from thirty thousand feet up. The Dogs of War reveals the amazing range of jobs that our four-legged soldiers now perform, examines the dogs' training and equipment, and sets the record straight on those rumors of titanium teeth. You'll find heartwarming stories of the deep bond that dogs and their handlers share with each other, and learn how soldiers and civilians can help the cause by fostering puppies or adopting retirees. An incredible story of the largely unseen but vital role that dogs play in our armed forces, The Dogs of War is a must-read for animal lovers everywhere.Honest and heart-warming account of the highs and lows of life as a vet, by lovable TV star Rory Cowlam.Rory…
Cowlam, otherwise known as Rory the Vet, has had a passion for animals for as long as he can remember. As a young boy, growing up in the countryside, he fell in love with the creatures that could be found both at home and in the neighbouring farms and fields. There was never any doubt in his mind as to what he wanted to do when he grew up.Now Rory's dreams of becoming a vet are a reality. He works in a busy London practice where his honest and emotional relationships with the animals and their owners have made him the relatable and approachable face of veterinary work. But, as Rory describes here with a mixture of his trademark openness and humour, what he couldn't have known as a small boy with his heart set on becoming the next James Herriot, was what becoming a vet really entails.In an era when doctors and nurses are talking more openly about the realities of saving human lives, Rory shows what a vital service vets offer in caring for the animals that often form the very heart of the household. He describes the demanding experience of veterinary school, and offers a very human take on what it's like to treat animals, and the little talked about mental health implications that this pressured life or death industry holds. This is a frank and heart-warming account of chasing a childhood dream and learning to love the reality.Birdwatching with Your Eyes Closed: An Introduction to Birdsong

Along Came Dylan: Two's A Crowd When You've Been Top Dog
By Stephen Foster. 2008
Ollie was just about cured of his basketcase habits; the neurotic lurcher at last appeared to have his paws planted…
firmly on the ground (well, almost). But did Stephen Foster take a well-earned rest? Not. He decided one thing was missing from Ollie's life, someone who could really understand him, a friend with whom he could have dog-to-dog chats. ? If you must get another dog get a girl, the experts told Foster. So he got a boy, a pure-bred Saluki lunatic called Dylan. As soon as the new puppy peered through the door, Ollie threw his master a look of contemptuous disbelief that said, ? I refuse to have anything whatsoever to do with this. You're on your own, pal. The riotously funny Along came Dylan takes up where Foster's bestselling Walking Ollie left off, but instead of one canine conundrum, he's got two: Dylan, the outlaw, proves to be virtually untrainable; Ollie, feeling threatened, becomes increasingly antisocial, and Foster is caught in the middle wondering why man's best friends can't just be friends.
