The irony of mentioning impulse control in a tirade about a book on dogs on a deal site. DK is a great publisher. I bought one just because this person went off the deep end.

I was ready to buy until I read the sentence: "Starting with their history, evolution, and anatomy, this beautiful book....."

I want to learn facts about dogs.

I'm not interested in their religion of evolution. Far as I know, no dog has ever given birth to anything but a dog. Sure you can cross breeds of dogs but that isn't evolution as you still get dogs.

Why couldn't they just stick to factual history and anatomy?

Who is behind this new religion being promoted so pervasively as if it were proven science that we all came about randomly from pond scum and as such we are not accountable for the lives we choose to live?

"Bravely" Thumbs Down all you like if you cannot control yourself long enough to consider why religion is one of three key parts in a book on dogs.

Shows that us humans can be conditioned just as well as dogs. Turns out Pavlov's classical conditioning holds true today as it ever has.

Has anyone tried the kindle version? If you use Kindle app on computer or iPad does it show color? I imagine on the kindle Paperwhite since its black and white this wouldn't be the best way to view this, should I buy it on Apple Books for my ipad instead?

Didn't see the Aquarium and Pond Fish for $1.99, but I did see Countries of the World [amazon.com] as well as Rocks and Minerals [amazon.com].

Sadly, my post has brought out many mindless lemmings to follow each other off the proverbial hatred cliff versus taking time to consider the content and respond with something meaningful.

Guess no one was brave enough to explain what part of my observation triggered them to dis me.
