Title: When the Whalers Were Up North: Inuit Memories from the Eastern Arctic

Series: #1 of McGill-Queen's Indigenous and Northern Studies

Author: Dorothy Harley Eber

Narrator: Brianne Tucker

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 8 hours 10 minutes

Release date: March 5, 2024

Genres: Animals & Nature

Publisher's Summary:

The author tells a story drawn from oral memories, a story which will soon disappear with the last Inuit generation to have seen the whalers. Illuminated by a remarkable collection of drawings, photographs, and illustrations, many in full colour, tales are told of when the whalers first appeared on the north-east coast of Baffin Island, how they set up land stations in the whale-rich waters of Cumberland Sound, and how they eventually pushed on into Hudson Bay. During this time the Inuit not only fed and clothed the whalers, they hunted with them, adding to the whalers' wealth. Our understanding of change in Inuit life is often linked to the fur traders, who arrived in the North fifty years after the arrival of the whalers. In truth it is the Inuit's close contact with the foreign world of the whalers which marked the beginning of a change in previously undisturbed Inuit culture and traditions.

Title: Barking Up the Right Tree: The Science and Practice of Positive Dog Training

Author: Dr. Ian Dunbar

Narrator: Elliot Fitzpatrick

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 14 hours 21 minutes

Release date: March 5, 2024

Genres: Animals & Nature

Publisher's Summary:

When Dr. Ian Dunbar introduced his SIRIUS® Puppy Training in 1982, dog training mostly comprised punishing adult dogs for bad habits and lack of compliance. Dunbar focused on verbally cuing and creatively luring to achieve desirable behavior and using 'life rewards'—sniffing, walking, play with dogs, and interactive games—to reinforce speedy compliance and good habits from the outset. His 'dog's point of view' approach revolutionized the field, and today there are few trainers who have not been strongly influenced by it. While positive reinforcement is now widely adopted, this new book details how other reward-training techniques have strayed from Dunbar's original, quick and easy, highly effective lure-reward approach for teaching dogs ESL, in which we can verbally cue specific responses, offer heartfelt praise for success, and give guidance when dogs err. With Dunbar's method, we can teach dogs when and where to eliminate, what to chew, when and for how long to bark, and when and how to appropriately let off steam. Barking Up the Right Tree offers proof that aversive punishment seldom works to eliminate undesirable behavior or to get the dog back on track. Dunbar presents numerous nonaversive yet highly effective solutions for misbehavior and noncompliance—simply by using the words you teach, and without even raising your voice.

Title: On Borrowed Time: North America's Next Big Quake

Author: Gregor Craigie

Narrator: Gregor Craigie

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 7 hours 48 minutes

Release date: March 5, 2024

Genres: Animals & Nature

Publisher's Summary:

Finalist, Balsillie Prize for Public Policy and Victoria Butler Book Prize A Globe and Mail Top 100 Book The Big One and what we can do to get ready for it. Mention the word earthquake and most people think of California. But while the Golden State shakes on a regular basis, Washington State, Oregon, and British Columbia are located in a zone that can produce the world’s biggest earthquakes and tsunamis. In the eastern part of the continent, small cities and large, from Ottawa to Montréal to New York City, sit in active earthquake zones. In fact, more than 100-million North Americans live in active seismic zones, many of whom do not realize the risk to their community. For more than a decade, Gregor Craigie interviewed scientists, engineers, and emergency planners about earthquakes, disaster response, and resilience. He has also collected vivid first-hand accounts from people who have survived deadly earthquakes. His fascinating and deeply researched book dives headfirst into explaining the science behind The Big One — and asks what we can do now to prepare ourselves for events geologists say aren't a matter of if, but when.

Title: Who's a Good Dog?: And How to Be a Better Human

Author: Jessica Pierce

Narrator: Eva Wilhelm

Format: Unabridged Audiobook

Length: 8 hours 35 minutes

Release date: February 27, 2024

Genres: Animals & Nature

Publisher's Summary:

Who's a Good Dog? is an invitation to nurture more thoughtful and balanced relationships with our canine companions. By deepening our curiosity about what our dogs are experiencing, and by working together with them, we can become more effective and compassionate caregivers. With sympathy for the challenges met by both dogs and their humans, bioethicist Jessica Pierce explores common practices of caring for dogs, including how we provide exercise, what we feed, how and why we socialize and train, and how we employ tools such as collars and leashes. She helps us both to identify potential sources of fear and anxiety in our dogs' lives and to expand practices that provide physical and emotional nourishment. Who's a Good Dog? also encourages us to think more critically about what we expect of our dogs and how these expectations can set everyone up for success or failure. Pierce offers resources to help us cultivate attentiveness and kindness, inspiring us to practice the art of noticing, of astonishment, of looking with fresh eyes at these beings we think we know so well. And more than this, she makes her findings relatable by examining facets of her relationship with Bella, the dog in her life. As Bella shows throughout, all dogs are good dogs, and we, as humans and dog guardians, could be doing a little bit better to get along with them.

Experienced riders who are already taking their horses to competitions will also find everything they need, from a change of scenery in training to dressage lessons.

I want to convey how you can encourage horses without forcing them to do anything unnatural and how you can spend time with them alongside riding. The overriding aim of all topics should be the joy of riding and harmony with the horse as a partner.
