The Way Of Dalmatian - A Water Polo Handbook This handbook is a compilation of work and lessons gathered during my time as a water polo player and as a coach. My water polo experience is heavily influenced by the coaches and players from the Croatian the coastal region of Dalmatia. Because of the proximity and the location we have to include an area of the Adriatic coast just south from the Dalmatian region which includes Dubrovnik and Kotor. Dalmatian water polo is one of the most important segments of not only European water polo but also World's water polo.

"Grisly and atmospheric…[these] stories feature small worlds of animal amorality in which the sweet taste of revenge leaves no aftertaste of guilt." —Publishers Weekly Nowhere is Patricia Highsmith's affinity for animals more apparent than in The Animal-Lover's Book of Beastly Murder, for here she transfers the murderous thoughts and rages most associated with humans onto the animals themselves. You will meet, for example, in "In the Dead of Truffle Season," a truffle-hunting pig who tries to whet his own appetite for a while; or Jumbo in "Chorus Girl's Absolutely Final Performance," a lonely, old circus elephant who decides she's had enough of show business and cruel trainers for one lifetime. In this satirical reprise of Kafka, cats, dogs, and breeding rodents are no longer ordinary beings in the happy home, but actually have the power to destroy the world in which we live.
