BOOK
Being Caribou: Five Months on Foot with an Arctic Herd (World As Home, The)
Karsten Heuer
$8.67

About this product:

For eons, female members of the Porcupine caribou herd have made the 2,800-mile journey from their winter feeding grounds to their summer calving grounds. They once roamed borderless wilderness; now they trek from Canada, where they're protected, to the United States, where they are not. What's more, beneath the calving grounds lay vast reserves of oil. Determined to convey both the enormity of the caribous’ migration and the delicacy of their habitat, Karsten Heuer and his wife spent their honeymoon following the herd. For five months, they traveled an uncharted course on foot over mountains, through snow, and across frozen rivers, with only three semi-scheduled food drops for support. As with the caribou, Heuer and his wife faced dwindling fat reserves and stalking by ravenous grizzlies and wolves just awakened from hibernation. Both a rousing adventure story and a sober ecological meditation, Being Caribou vividly conveys this magnificent animal's world.

BOOK
Homeopathy for the Herd
C. Edgar Sheaffer
$24.00

About this product:
Over the past 50 years, a dangerous set of technologies has crept into beef and dairy farms and ranches. Technologists have succeeded in pushing the pounds of milk that can be extracted from a cow higher and higher and throwing pounds of weight on beef cattle faster. But it came with a price.

The average age of dairy cow "burnout" has dropped for almost a decade. Infections are rampant. New diseases and health maladies have appeared. Drug use and vet bills have skyrocketed. The healthfulness of milk and beef has been questioned.

In this breakthrough book subtitled A Farmer's Guide to Low-Cost, Non-Toxic Veterinary Cattle Care, Dr. Sheaffer passes along his hard-learned knowledge - in language farmers can understand - of how to care for the herd in a healthy, holistic manner. Utilizing homeopathy - an effective, non-toxic form of medicine derived from herbs and other natural substances - as well as other healing alternatives, he will teach you to truly understand the cause behind a disease condition, and then how to treat the entire animal for that condition.

Using case studies and practical examples from both dairy and beef operations, Dr. Shaeffer covers such topics as: creating a holisitic operation; organics and homeopathy; prescribing; mastitis and fertility-related problems; and the Materia Medica, keynotes and nosodes. Also includes a convenient section that lists specific donditions and remedies.

BOOK
The Nature of Marketing: Marketing to the Swarm as well as the Herd
Chuck Brymer
$16.99

About this product:

We live in a digital world where a small number of people – sometimes even one person – can quickly become the voice of one hundred, one thousand, or one million and more. This is having a profound influence on marketing and the need that brands have to tap into and build social communities.

The Nature of Marketing is a unique perspective on how digitally linked populations behave as a single organism, similar to a swarm of fish. These human swarms are fueled by the connectivity and speed of the social networking generation, and are replacing the rules of marketing with principles that are fundamentally different from anything before.

This book helps put trends like social networks and Web 2.0 in a larger and more timeless context. As brand communications move from monologue to dialogue, a new marketing plan is needed to engage the community and start a conversation with people who can help expand upon the brand message and experience.

Chuck Brymer lays out a well-documented case that traditional marketing and branding are as important as ever. However, the doctrine of herd marketing – one-way mass communications – must be adjacent to the new realities of swarm marketing – the power of people communicating with each other in unprecedented speed and numbers.

We now have the potential to dramatically grow the value and influence of brands using an approach that is as fresh as Web 2.0, but as enduring as human nature. The Nature of Marketing is your guide to the next great revolution in how we reach our customers to gain their loyalty and advocacy.

BOOK
Life: Lost & Found
Aaron W. Herd
$9.99

About this product:
Madeline isn't dead-she just feels like it.

Her mother was killed years ago, her dad is more of a theory than a father, and her social life is confined to her daydreams. She's a five-foot eight-inch industrial-strength criticism magnet, and she's only invisible when she doesn't want to be. When someone she barely knows invites her to the school graduation party, she would rather eat a bowl of live spiders than attend-but Madeline is no stranger to bad ideas, and she accepts.

She has no idea she's walking into a trap.

Madeline doesn't know she's about to lose her dearest treasure, or that a secret she kept as a child will send her moving across the state. She doesn't know she's just become a flower in a mysterious garden box, or that her darkest wish is coming to get her. She's only just beginning to realize that her life was lost seven years ago, and that fate is about to give it back to her-whether she wants it or not. The question is: can she make it a life worth keeping?

BOOK
The Chosen Will Become Herds: Studies in Twentieth-Century Kabbalah
Prof. Jonathan Garb
$39.95

About this product:

The popularity of Kabbalah, a Jewish mystical movement at least 900 years old, has grown astonishingly within the context of the vast and ever-expanding social movement commonly referred to as the New Age. This book is the first to provide a broad overview of the major trends in contemporary Kabbalah together with in-depth discussions of major figures and schools.

A noted expert on Kabbalah, Jonathan Garb places the “kabbalistic Renaissance” within the global context of the rise of other forms of spirituality, including Sufism and Tibetan Buddhism. He shows how Kabbalah has been transformed by the events of the Holocaust and, following the establishment of Israel, by aliyah. The Chosen Will Become Herds is an original piece of scholarship and, in its own right, a new chapter in the history of Kabbalah.
