Enorme successo del passaparola, Dalla parte di Bailey è stato definito il romanzo sui cani più divertente e commovente degli ultimi anni. W. Bruce Cameron (1960) è un giornalista umoristico americano di fama internazionale. E se esistesse un cane che non muore mai? Un cane che si reincarna in diverse vite, ricordandosele tutte, una per una? Questa è la magnifica storia di Bailey, raccontata dalla sua stessa, adorabile voce di cane. Ingenuo e spaurito, quando viene al mondo è un bastardino randagio che fatica a capire come girano le cose: non è svelto quanto i fratelli ad accaparrarsi le coccole della sua adorata mamma, va in pezzi per la delusione quando la sua cagnetta preferita viene insidiata da rivali ben più scaltri di lui e quasi muore per lo spavento quando si trova di fronte all''«animale uomo». Ma ogni volta che rinasce, Bailey è un po'' più saggio e disinvolto. Finché arriva Ethan, un bambino speciale che gli insegnerà il senso del gioco, della lealtà, dell''amore, dell''amicizia; in una parola, il senso dell''esistenza. Nelle vite successive, quando ormai, da cane poliziotto, si ritroverà capace di imprese straordinarie, sarà sempre Ethan il suo pensiero fisso e la persona che vorrà a tutti i costi ritrovare. E quando succederà, Bailey compirà per lui la sua azione più bella, più vera e più grande.

Questa volta Buddy pensa proprio di aver portato a termine il suo compito. È stato un cane davvero speciale, ha vissuto molte vite e un''infinità di avventure, felici e dolorose, pur di stare accanto a Ethan, il suo amatissimo padrone. Gli ha fatto rincontrare l''amore di gioventù, Hannah, e ora, nella fattoria dove lei vive, Buddy può finalmente godersi la vecchiaia e prepararsi ad andarsene per sempre. Ma questo non è possibile: tra i cavalli, le anatre e il pericoloso pontile di legno che si affaccia sul lago, si aggira indisturbata la piccola Clarity, la nipotina di Hannah e Ethan, che sembra avere un sesto senso per ficcarsi nei guai. Con una madre assente e preda delle sue manie, Clarity è senza difese. Spetta a Buddy, di nuovo, accompagnarla nel faticoso cammino che la attende... Lo capisce quando si accorge di essere tornato cucciolo ancora una volta: Clarity è un dono di Ethan, e Buddy ha di fronte a sé un''altra, incredibile storia. Dopo lo straordinario successo di Dalla parte di Bailey, Cameron torna a farci sognare con una storia su un cane unico, di gran lunga più saggio e "umano" degli umani.

On dit que les chats ont neuf vies ; les chiens en ont plusieurs aussi. Bailey déroule ses vies de chien les unes après les autres. Sa vie de petit chiot sauvage qui doit apprendre à faire confiance aux humains. Sa vie avec un garçon, Ethan, le maître qu''il aime plus que tout. Tour à tour bâtard, golden retriever, berger allemand et labrador, chien de compagnie et chien de sauvetage, Bailey va tout faire pour retrouver Ethan. Mais y parviendra-t-il ?

Following the stunning success of 8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter -- which was adapted into a TV show for ABC -- W. Bruce Cameron returns with an even more hilarious look at fatherhood, capturing the predicament of the forgotten man in the tux at his little girl''s wedding. As Cameron explains, modern weddings are much like royal coronations, only more expensive. Aside from the writing of checks, there is not much fathers understand about them. Why can''t guests successfully eat, drink, and dance unless the whole event is as carefully choreographed as a Broadway production? With his characteristic wit, Cameron captures the aspects of the wedding that are the most ridiculous to paternal eyes, for example: • why the wedding needs a theme (this one is "We''re all stressed out") • why the wedding has to be photographed as if it will be reviewed by the Warren Commission • why the bouquet must include a species of flower found only at the tip of the Himalayas • why the wedding dress has to strike the right mood (which, judging from everyone''s behavior, might best be summed up as "crabby") Throughout it all, however, a father keeps faith that the wedding -- if not the wedding preparation -- will make his daughter a happy woman. Hilarious yet poignant, 8 Simple Rules for Marrying My Daughter is sure to be a comfort to the legions of fathers (and mothers) who will one day have a daughter walking down the aisle.

Current research suggests that there is a large group of people who have been trying to change men. For want of a better term, let''s call these people "women."

That''s why this book is so indispensable ?it is a clear, step-by-step guide for anyone who wants to alter the character and behavior of a man, written by an actual man. Csmo cambiar a un hombre is the essential guide for anyone in the awkward position of having to interact with a person of the male gender.

Current research suggests there is a large group of people who have been trying to change men. For want of a better term, let''s call these people "women." Their urge is understandable. We''ve all had to take measures to accommodate men, because they are involved in nearly every aspect of modern life except maybe housework and they like to run things like corporate meetings and the planet. The only other alternative has been to try to avoid men altogether, which is pretty hard to do if you are interested in stuff like reproduction or having your oil changed. That''s why How to Remodel a Man is so indispensable-it is a clear, step-by-step guide for anyone who wants to alter the character and behavior of a man, written by an actual man. Author W. Bruce Cameron provides startling insight into male pattern thinking, explaining why men can open a refrigerator and not see the mayonnaise, or how it is that they can throw dirty clothes at the hamper or in front of the hamper or even on top of the hamper and yet not seem capable of getting any of it in the hamper. Normally, changing a man has certain obstacles, including, but not limited to, the fact that it is impossible. But Cameron is able to overcome this hindrance because he, himself, has been remodeled. In a move so bold it may be shocking to people unaccustomed to such personal courage, Cameron turned himself over to the women in his life and asked them to change him. It started with a list of his flaws (Cameron came up with four; the women came up with one hundred seventy eight) and ended with him writing How to Remodel a Man, so that others could learn from his experience. If you''re a woman, you''ll be amazed to learn that men can be trained to perform all sorts of tricks, like using the instruments on the sides of their heads (the ears) to listen to you, and the space between those instruments to think about you. If you''re a man, you''ve been given this book so that you''ll see that it''s possible to watch television without holding the remote or to ask for directions from strangers without suffering a catastrophic loss of testosterone. Cameron changed, and you can too. How to Remodel a Man is the essential guide for anyone in the awkward position of having to interact with a person of the male gender.

A humorous guide to help fathers survive the trials of female adolescence offers tongue-in-cheek advice on topics such as the telephone, food, parties, chores, learning to drive, the first job, and boyfriends.
