"At the dawn of the 21st century, with a definitive cure for cancer still so elusive, Clerens and Clifton have written a remarkable book, one that documents the journey of one small dog's triumph over cancer. In Sparky Fights Back not only does one find inspiration in the knowledge that a diagnosis of cancer in one's dog is not an automatic death sentence for a beloved pet, but also invaluable information on how a dog's 'human companions' can become proactive in healing an ailing dog. This is a 'must read' for those whose lives are filled with the extraordinary affection that only dogs can bring." --- Louis E. V. Nevaer, Author, Economist and Founding Board Member, Animal Cancer Foundation. ---- A special supplement "If Your Dog Gets Cancer" offers direct practical advice.---- Foreword by Samantha J. Schmidt, Director, Animal Cancer Foundation.

Most pet owners aren't aware of the dangers in animal vaccinations that have been discovered in recent years. In this compact, easy-to-understand volume, John Clifton explains the very real risks involved every time a dog or cat gets a shot. The major veterinary associations now agree that vaccinations can trigger all sorts of maladies, from allergies to cancer - but most pet caretakers (and many veterinarians, it seems) haven't gotten the word. This is an important book for every pet owner to read. In a conver- sational, direct, non-technical voice it guides the reader in formulating an intelligent approach to animal vaccinations. Clifton lays out all the major issues: whether to vaccinate or not, which shots to give and which to avoid, how to know if and when a shot should be repeated. And, importantly, the risks in over-vaccinating. Holistic as well as orthodox medical opinions are presented. Despite the title, readers are not advised flat out to abandon vaccinations. Rather, they are encouraged to learn about the risks and benefits - and "stop the shots" until they are fully informed.

MAN WITH A LOAD OF MISCHIEF was originally presented off-Broadway in 1966, receiving rave reviews and garnering such comments as: "A solid hit!" and "Perfectly charming!" (New York Times), "Remarkably appealing!" (New York Post), and "Sprightly and ingratiating!" (NY Daily News). Since then this delightful musical has become a classic, seen in many productions throughout the United States and countries across the world. The six-character show has seen four revivals in New York City. RECORD WORLD described the show in this encapsulation: "Set in a Regency England highway inn, it scrambles with surprising little condescension the affairs of a gentleman who isn't a gentleman, a lackey who isn't a lackey, a lady who isn't a lady and a maid who isn't a maiden with grand comic style. But the show's real strength-happily, in this musically stultifying integrated age-lies in its tunes. If anyone would fault the songs for not being integrated, it is because they stand out from the text, as a good song will, and can be recalled after the last bow." Unfortunately the published script and piano-vocal score had not been available for purchase until their recent publication (2011). This script represents the complete musical, containing all the dialog and lyrics, with notes by the show's creators Ben Tarver and John Clifton.
