Title: Never Turn Your Back on an Angus Cow( My Life as a Country Vet) Binding: Hardcover Author: JanPol Publisher: GothamBooks

Unread book in perfect condition.

(A continuation in the'Doc'Carlton series) They're back again, for the third time around - the animal rescue team we met in DALLAS DOC and TEXAS DOC: healers Doc Carlton, his unpredictable partner, Dr.Rich Vest, and indispensable medical staffers Tracy and Rachel. This time, they take on a second clinic and a new vet, 'perfectionist' Mathew Horton, who matches their passion and all-out commitment to every critter. In his conversational style, Doc gives us more irresistible, behind-the-scenes glimpses into his topsy-turvy life: There's the Border collie who thrives on hypnotizing sheep; a feline's midnight surgery in a home kitchen; the movie star who wants a 'makeover' for his pet pig; the garlic-wearing, globetrotting Chihuahuas who write postcards; two mules that become a baseball legend's family; and a wayward cat who has the only cure for a horse with 'psychosomatic' issues.

A best-selling, illustrated biography of the beloved author of All Creatures Great and Small chronicles his life as a Scottish veterinarian whose modesty remained unmitigated by the international fame garnered by his books. Reprint. 75,000 first printing.

'Doc' Carlton's 5th book finds the Texas veterinarian at a crossroads with thoughts of simplifying life by opening a small animal practice in a small town. But Doc and his indispensable sidekick, Tracy, soon question this lifestyle change. After so many years of a 24/7 fast-paced schedule juggling trips to ranches all over Texas to help heal horses, cattle, and every creature in-between...a dream of 'slowing down' may not be for them. Doc's colorful anecdotal stories continue to ring with a down-home honesty. And after taking on the city life, our dedicated healers know they're exactly where they should be - continuing their life's calling by giving loving care and expert medical treatment to every type and size of critter who needs them.

In this first full portrait of one of the world's most beloved animal writers, a noted biographer affectionately reveals the man behind the myth, exploring his tragedies and triumphs in intimate detail. 65,000 first printing.

When Davin selects an assignment in proximity to Lauren's assaulter, she follows--out of love--despite her mental turmoil and fear. The result is a self-inflicted implosion of her life.

In 1804, when Josephine Bonaparte knelt before her husband, Napoleon, to receive the imperial diadem, few in the vast crowd of onlookers were aware of the dark secrets hidden behind the imperial façade. To her subjects, she appeared to vet hew most favored woman in France: alluring, wealthy, and with the devoted love of a remarkable husband who was the conqueror of Europe. In actuality, Josephine's life was far darker, for her celebrated allure was fading, her wealth was compromised by massive debt, and her marriage was corroded by infidelity and abuse.Josephine's life story was as turbulent as the age-an era of revolution and social upheaval, of the guillotine, and of frenzied hedonism. With telling psychological depth and compelling literary grace, Carolly Erickson brings the complex, charming, ever-resilient Josephine to life in this memorable portrait, one that carries the reader along every twist and turn of the empress's often thorny path, from the sensual richness of her childhood in the tropics to her final lonely days at Malmaison.

“It’s not possible to ever know enough about the love of God.”   Chris DuPré, acclaimed worship leader, musician, and speaker, shares his story of growing up in small-town, Upstate New York with his unpredictable dad, a WWII vet struggling with PTSD before PTSD was diagnosable. Even amid financial frailty and a broken family, Chris DuPré traces the finger of God that, against all odds, led him through emotional and physical abuse in childhood to a miraculous conversion in adolescence during the Jesus Movement, and, years later, to a pivotal decision in a garden between two options: love or bitterness. Written with candor, humor, and grace, this is a narrative of forgiving those before us and loving those around us that every Christian will instantly recognize. Although names may change, the cosmic story remains the same: we can love because He first loved us—with a wild, cleansing, transformative love.
