  Roger Windsor’s stories of life as, first, a naive student at vet school, then as a junior vet in general practice, and finally as a senior member of the Veterinary Investigation Service runing a laboratory in Africa, certainly give James Herriot a run for his money. His vignettes of animal woe and human frailty have enduring appeal, and the story of setting up such a valuable service in Botswana, and helping to build that country’s agricultural and forensic veterinary resources, is truly fascinating. With his particular talent for veterinary detective work and more general eye for a character sketch and a tall tale, Windsor will keep even the most animal-averse readers turning the pages of this hilarious and touching autobiography.

  This fun, engrossing book takes a look at the surprising influence that gardens and gardening have had on mystery novels and their authors. With their deadly plants, razor-sharp shears, shady corners, and ready-made burial sites, gardens make an ideal scene for the perfect murder. But the outsize influence that gardens and gardening have had on the mystery genre has been underappreciated. Now, Marta McDowell, a writer and gardener with a near-encyclopedic knowledge of the genre, illuminates the many ways in which our greatest mystery writers, from Edgar Allen Poe to authors on today’s bestseller lists, have found inspiration in the sinister side of gardens. From the cozy to the hardboiled, the literary to the pulp, and the classic to the contemporary, Gardening Can Be Murder is the first book to explore the mystery genre’s many surprising horticultural connections. Meet plant-obsessed detectives and spooky groundskeeper suspects, witness toxic teas served in foul play, and tour the gardens—both real and imagined—that have been the settings for fiction’s ghastliest misdeeds. A New York Times bestselling author herself, McDowell also introduces us to some of today’s top writers who consider gardening integral to their craft, assuring that horticultural themes will remain a staple of the genre for countless twisting plots to come.    “This book is dangerous. A veritable cornucopia of crime fiction and gardening lore, it faces the reader with multiple temptations—books to seek out, plants to obtain, garden tours to book.” —Vicki Lane, author of the Elizabeth Goodweather Appalachian Mysteries

  Cetology, the scientific study of cetaceans—whales, dolphins, and porpoises—plays a vital role in understanding the complexities of marine ecosystems. This branch of marine biology delves into the behaviors, anatomy, physiology, ecology, and conservation of these magnificent creatures. The field's significance extends beyond simply observing and classifying different species; it also serves as a lens through which we can better comprehend the delicate balance of life in the ocean and the various environmental pressures influencing it. 
  The study of cetology has captivated scientists and marine enthusiasts alike for centuries. Early observations of cetaceans were often based on myths, folklore, and a limited understanding of the creatures' biology and behavior. However, as marine exploration advanced and the field of marine science grew, researchers began to focus on the detailed study of cetaceans, uncovering insights into their complex lives. The 19th and 20th centuries brought with them key developments in cetological research, including advancements in the identification of different species, the discovery of migration patterns, and breakthroughs in understanding cetacean communication. 
  Cetology covers a vast range of topics, from the anatomical and physiological traits that make cetaceans uniquely adapted to life in water to their social structures and interactions within pods. The study of cetacean communication, including their use of sound to navigate, hunt, and socialize, has proven to be one of the most fascinating aspects of cetology. Researchers have discovered that whales and dolphins use a complex system of vocalizations, clicks, and whistles, which play a critical role in their survival and social organization.
