On The Diane Rehm Show: Jennifer Arnold, author of Through a Dog's Eyes (Spiegel & Grau, 978-1400068883, $25; RH Audio unabridged CD, $30), which pubbed last week. From PW’s review: “Engagingly written with a perfect balance of science and observation, this book... is a worthy tribute to our canine friends.”

PW considered it “A thoughtful and moving but unsentimental portrait of life in captivity and a broad introduction to some of its most salient—and intractable—dilemmas.”
On The Daily Show, American studies professor Edward P. Kohn recalls Hot Time in the Old Town: The Great Heat Wave of 1896 and the Making of Theodore Roosevelt (Basic Books, 978-0465013364, $27.95). PW wrote “He succeeds in bringing this little-known tragedy to light, but it is weakened rather than strengthened by the addition of an election narrative.”
