  Vita Sackville-West

  'It must be a nuisance to go through life with a Father Christmas moustache like that, but no doubt the Schnauzer gets used to it.'
  In Faces, Vita Sackville-West traces the origins and history of forty-four dog breeds. She reflects on their characteristics with frank humour, from the gentle-eyed Afghan, 'like somebody's elderly Aunt Lavinia, who nourishes a secret passion for the Vicar', to the Labrador Retriever, 'dear, solid, faithful lump of a dog!', and that 'docile minion' the Corgi.
  Each profile is accompanied by Laelia Goehr's striking black and white photographs. Together, profile and portrait capture these canine characters in their various moods: benevolent, haughty, amused, wistful, or simply a little bit sleepy.
  Charming and fascinating in equal measure, Faces is a joyful read for all dog lovers.

  From No. 1 best selling Self-Help, Counselling and Travel author Pearl HowieA dream come true.  But more than that.  A dream I had given up on, hidden from myself, brought to light, and then realised.  And yet, the first time I saw orangutans in Semenggoh, semi-wild, it was not the experience I had hoped for.  Sarawak is so much more than orangutans, and in coming here to visit them I learned so much more about their world, our world and my own world.  I had so many reasons for writing these books - to provide a quick guide for people who think travelling to a special place is beyond them and to enlighten people as to the magic that exists in certain spots, but these are also just simple stories… for dreamers, for those who know their legs will just not carry them to these places, for the unadventurous adventurer, for the person who can't imagine ever going or wanting to go, these stories are just a way of sharing my awareness of a certain place that was important in my journey, however that serves you."You will come away feeling as if she was sharing with you personally and will want to read more of her life adventures.”“I’ve just booked my first holiday in 13 years!”"To me, you are a hero... You have learned to take something negative in your life and make it a positive... a gift to others. It doesn't get any better than that. Don't doubt that you are capable of helping others... in terms of other of life's difficulties... What an adventure!"  Susan Jeffers, Ph.D., author of "Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway"Not small, just travel size.

  This re-issue of BB's classic memoir will be enjoyed by all who appreciate fine country writing, and who believe passionately in the resilience of Mother Nature, despite the follies of mankind.
  Denys Watkins-Pitchford (better known as BB) wrote these wonderful essays on the English countryside in the 1930s - a time of peace and renewal between two world wars. The book was finally published in 1941 when, as BB puts it, England was 'in the darkest hour of our history.'
  BB captures here in words and sensitive wood engravings the wonders of English wildlife and countryside.
  Includes essays on:
  
  - ravens and rookeries
  - the stone curlew
  - the purple emperor butterfly
  - a woodcutter's house
  - an encounter with a wildfowler one frosty dawn
  - a night fishing on the Solway
  - the strange behaviour of song thrushes
  - the rescue of a black labrador
  - a favourite copse
  - the accidental death of a groom
  - village characters
  - hedgerows - and many more topics

  Jesus Is Not Republican - A...

  Kate Rice

  This sassy memoir by a party girl with a broken heart takes an irreverent look at religious teachings that made her an easy victim of a love gone wrong. And in telling her story, she shows how the right hijacked Jesus—and gives moderates and progressives of all faiths and of no faith a recipe for taking back God, flag and country. 
  Here are revelations, Kate Rice style. For example, the Apostle Paul says (in ancient Greek), shit happens. (Corinthians 6; 1-13). Also, Bible wasn’t written in English. It was written Aramaic, Hebrew and ancient Greek. A literal interpretation of the Bible is impossible. 
  She introduces the tatted up minister who preaches the joy of sex, church-going progressives standing strong in a rural America that is not as red as you think, and believers and non-believers who work together! 
  This battle-scarred veteran of three different religions explains our nation’s wrestling match with religion, politics, and sex by viewing it through the prism of her own struggles. She pokes fun at hypocrites but shows love and respect for true people of faith. And then she gives us all a pep talk about what we can do to keep our nation one that guarantees freedom for all.
