The book layout is one of the better jobs I have seen, the font is easy on the eyes and large enough to actually read. They do a fascinating trick where code examples and notes are allowed to extend further into the left margin than the text of the book. This serves to break up the text and draws your attention to the figures, code examples and notes.

I recently took a course on Dog Law and Ethics and I found this book very
useful. It was very informative in itself plus it had great references.
It is written in a very user friendly manner that makes it easy to read.
I think anyone that has a dog or dog business could benefit from reading
this information and having this book on hand as a resource. The edition
I used was the sixth edition which leads me to believe that the author
keeps updated on the material and reprints the book as needed.

Dog law is another outstanding legal book by Nolo press. I got the book because I was having problems with my neighbor's five barking dogs. I wanted to be informed of my rights before I confronted my neighbor. Although I had no luck coming to a compromise with my neighbor regarding the dogs (he is a crazy, paranoid, drug-addicted redneck), it was empowering to know my rights. The only small complaint was that it did not include state laws, but that may be beyond the scope of this book.

If you are thinking about buying a dog (it explains puppy mills, contracts to consider when you buy a dog and licensing laws); you already have a dog (laws you might want to consider even if you're sure your dog is always well-behaved and how to get dog insurance); you want to provide for your dog after your death (what may or may not work in your will); you hate your neighbor's dog's barking (how to talk to your neighbor or seek mediation, or your liability if you are cruel or provoke the dog) or if you suspect your neighbor's dog is mistreated or are in any other way concerned about dogs: YOU NEED TO READ THIS BOOK. There is much more covered than what I have put here.
I expected to read a few key chapters, but ended up reading it cover to cover. It contains interesting facts throughout (have you ever thought about the number of dogs injured/killed by riding in the back of a pick-up truck?), history of dog laws, real cases and the rulings in those cases (though obviously missing the recent case of Ms. Whipple's murder); and sound, common-sense advice whether it is written in the law or not.
For the sake of the dogs and the people who own or are around them, I hope everybody will read this book.

Dog Law is a superbly presented, user friendly reference, and a "must" for dog owners, as well as for anyone else who might have a legal bone to pick!

Einstein's equations stem from General Relativity. In the context of Riemannian manifolds, an independent mathematical theory has developed around them. Recently, it has produced several striking results, which have been of great interest also to physicists. This Ergebnisse volume is the first book which presents an up-to-date overview of the state of the art in this field. "Einstein Manifold"s is a successful attempt to organize the abundant literature, with emphasis on examples. Parts of it can be used separately as introduction to modern Riemannian geometry through topics like homogeneous spaces, submersions, or Riemannian functionals.
Briefly he reviews how the western world develop a sense of an orientation and how western societies have reacted to it. Herdt concludes that one ought not to adapt the constructs of another world, nor should one impose western ideaas in another part of the world. He claims one should acknowledge them with a sense of wonder.
Herdt wants to open debate about homosexual orientation and its place in western society. He observes that a recent study disputes that 10% of men are gay. That study shows it is closer to 2.6%. He shows that surveys that focus on the 12 largest cities in the United States show a much larger percentage of men preferring other men as sexual partners. He points this out because he has been maintaining throughout the book that answers are not simplistic. And that differences need to be explored.
While one might wish for a more comprehensive study of the ideas presented in this volume, Heerdt does indeed open the debate.

Although this is a very interesting and readable book, I prefer to read a more comprehensive researched volume.
We can hardly find the new knowledge in the book. In addition, ther are several mistakes or misunderstandings ; e.g. in p.72-73 the author wrote "flower boys of Silla is notable from the Yin dynasty Korea".
If you like to read one more book about "same sex" relationship, you may choose the item, as you like it.
