Having a dog is most times about adding another member to the family. It can also fill a missing place in your heart, a need to be active and give life some purpose, a responsibility for someone other than yourself or just a trusted friend. Whatever the reason for getting a dog - this is your chance to get it right. Dogs are different, just like people, then on top of that there are all the different breeds that man has "fiddled with" to get his needs met...from pretty to specialist. Our first challenge is to get our puppies needs met...in a doggie way, and then to assimilate that in to our lives so that we can all live happily together.

It all began in 1977 when Jim Crichton and Michael Sadler, both with a UK heritage, joined forces in their home town of Oakville, Ontario to write a few songs. What transpired was an impressive output of recorded material and one of the genre’s most influential bands selling millions of records worldwide. Initially influenced by Gentle Giant and King Crimson, their synth-driven complex prog rock arrangements and melodic hooks was tricky to categorise, but that didn’t halt their increasing popularity across Europe (mainly Germany), North America and Costa Rica. Fans admired their technical prowess, intelligent storytelling, and innovative approach to songwriting. They were also clever, daring, and experimental, creating an inspired decades spanning Chapters puzzle, a 25 track concept album, an ill-fated TV soundtrack attempt, and a ‘hits’ acoustic reworking. Saga didn’t achieve mainstream recognition, but were appreciated for their incredible musicianship, thought provoking anthemic music, and exceptional live performances. This book explores every track from Saga’s 23 studio albums and chronicles the band's other releases, highlighting the key factors related to each. It includes the thoughts of the band, the music press, and exclusive interviews with two of Saga’s founders. It’s a homage and an essential guide to an exceptional band.

"Would that the Roman people had but one neck," said the mad emperor Caligula, "that I might chop it through." In Arranging Deck Chairs on the Titanic, Mike Wilson takes on our own mad would-be emperor, a man "sharpening the hatchet / for our collective suicide." Wilson, a poet of keen intelligence, guides us through this upside-down world where "Antarctica is hotter than L. A." and "all the answers on Jeopardy are lies." Here is the MAGA-hatted, assault-rifle toting cult that drinks, not the Kool-Aid but the Clorox. Here is God the barfly "ordering a round for everyone / but without instructions for an Ark." A government as terrifyingly absurd as Trump's might seem to defy the poet, but Wilson distils our anger with skill and wit. Arranging deck chairs on the Titanic might be the futile gesture of those who refuse to see impending disaster, but it might also be an assertion of human dignity in the face of madness. - Sherry Chandler

Is there a spiritual dimension to managing one's finances? Absolutely In fact, the Bible says a lot about money - including how to think about it, earn it, and use it. The Bible teaches that God "gives you power to get wealth" (Deut. 8:18), and he entrusts to his people the sacred responsibility to use their abundant blessings to his glory. In this introductory booklet, Mike Wilson breaks down Biblical financial management into the following categories. Money... - What it is - Where it comes from - How to earn it honorably - How to spend it responsibly - How to invest it wisely

Stephen is a lonely man who spends his days inside an old cottage, isolated from the world. Because of emotional scars acquired from a less than ideal childhood, Stephen has always had trouble finding love. It seems the only option for him is to seek affection in the arms of a prostitute-until the night he dreams of a beautiful Spanish girl who helps him forget all his troubles. As Stephen vacillates between satisfying erotic dreams and the cold reality of his daily life where he attempts to find comfort through writing and playing music on his guitar, he reflects on the power women have to dispel his worries. Between his frequent sexual escapades, Stephen must somehow find his place in a confusing world where acceptance and success seem to be just beyond his reach. Rut Mysterious Love shares the colorful story of one man's journey through his erotic dreams and passionate encounters with women from around the world as he seeks relief from his suffering.

Mike Wilson is in conflict with his friend. His friend has continued to follow the Roman Catholic Church teachings, while Mike has become persuaded to join the atheist community. In his letters Mike's friend expresses his disappointment that his schoolpal is destined for a terrible afterlife, while Mike's letters to him express his delight in being free of the obligations of religion, which he refers to as his 'concrete overcoat.' The two friends remain on speaking terms, but each is concerned about the other. This, says Mike, is how it should be, but he hopes his friend will read the responses to his concerns. Mike can understand his friend's reluctance to leave the church, admitting it took many years before he saw the light. As well as Mike's letters, the book contains sayings from famous atheists, a selection of Mike's poetry and short plays on the subject, and a test to see if you live in the real world.

In 2012, local historian Mike Wilson, became aware of the find and offered to create a book of the letters, which are both fascinating and moving, and an important record of the hopes and fears of one young man and his family back home.

Little Tyke illustrates the life and times of a Yorkshire lad from the early 40s to the present day. The stories are not necessarily all true, neither are they complete fiction. The element of truth is the factor which makes all fiction believable, and the author hopes something of real life can be gleaned from these short pieces. Now turned seventy, the author - with his sister, friends and neighbours - is depicted on the cover. The adults are no longer with us and the author offers these children his best wishes as they, like him, approach old age.

Full Fathom Five tells the story of Christopher (Kit) Brown and his involvement in the Great Gale of 1871, his part in the heroic rescue of the crew of the Victoria, and the lifeboat disaster of March 1898 which led to his death. The story also relates how Kit tries to persuade his son Fred to take responsibility, and reflects on some aspects of life in the fishing community of Bridlington during the Victorian era. Real people are featured in this story, and the events concerning the lifeboats are historical events, but some of the words and actions of the characters are fiction.

Larry Ellison started the high-flying tech company Oracle with $1,200 in 1977 and turned it into a billion-dollar Silicon Valley giant. If Bill Gates is the tech world's nerd king, Ellison is its Warren Beatty: racing yachts, buying jets, and romancing beautiful women. His rise to fame and fortune is a tale of entrepreneurial brilliance, ruthless tactics, and a constant stream of half-truths and outright fabrications for which the man and his company are notorious. Investigative reporter Mike Wilson, with access to Ellison himself and more than 125 of his friends, enemies, and former Oracle employees, has created an eye-opening, utterly fascinating portrayal of a Silicon Valley success story ... filled with the stuff that dreams and cultural icons are made of.
