      Přehledný atlas 118 nejoblíbenějších psích plemen: společenská, lovecká, pracovní. Navíc i česká plemena! U každého plemene najdete fotografie s jeho charakteristickými zástupci a důležité informace o jeho fyzických charakteristikách, původu, obvyklé délce života i typické povaze. Tato publikace nabízí pohled na celou šíři psího rodu: od původních, „primitivních“ plemen, která zůstala po tisíciletí nezměněna, až po houževnaté pomocníky z farem, zástupy loveckých psů či moderní plemena dneška. U každého z nich poodhalíme jeho historii, poradíme, jak jim vytvořit spokojený domov, a přidáme tipy pro každodenní péči. Protože žádný jiný tvor si k nám nenašel tak blízkou cestu jako právě pes. Provází nás v našich domovech, na pracovištích, a především v našich srdcích. Tato fascinující zvířata v sobě nesou dvě tváře, dva zdánlivé protiklady, a nás neodolatelně přitahují obě. Pes je na jedné straně inteligentní, atletické a nezávislé stvoření, které stojí jen krůček od bran divočiny. Na straně druhé jsme tyto úžasné bytosti přetvořili do stovek rozmanitých plemen. Každé z nich má svůj jedinečný vzhled i povahu a každé bylo zformováno pro velmi specifický účel.

Řada z nich má jedinečné, někdy překvapivé chemické a fyzikální vlastnosti. Například gallium je kov, přesto se ti teplem rozteče v dlani, fluor je plyn, který může vypálit díru do betonu! Prvky se většinou nenacházejí v čisté formě. Najdeme je sloučené s jinými prvky ve sloučeninách. Třeba vodík a kyslík se nacházejí ve vodě, sodík a chlor utvářejí kuchyňskou sůl a uhlík je součástí milionů sloučenin, z nichž mnohé tvoří naše těla. V knize podrobně prozkoumáme periodickou tabulku prvků, od aktinia po zirkon. Prvky jsou v ní uspořádané podle příbuzných vlastností.
