A Scurry of Squirrels - Nurturing The Wild

Polly Pullar

Sinopse

Polly Pullar has had a passion for red squirrels since childhood. As a wildlife rehabilitator, she knows the squirrel on a profoundly personal level and has hand-reared numerous litters of orphan kits, eventually returning them to the wild.
In this book she shares her experiences and love for the squirrel and explores how our perceptions have changed. Heavily persecuted until the 1960s, it has since become one of the nation's most adored mammals. But we are now racing against time to ensure its long-term survival in an ever-changing world.
Set against the beautiful backdrop of Polly's Perthshire farm, where she works continuously to encourage wildlife great and small, she highlights how nature can, and indeed will, recover if only we give it a chance. In just two decades, her efforts have brought spectacular results, and numerous squirrels and other animals visit her wild farm every day.

The Ironclads of Cambrai

Bryan Cooper

When tanks, the newly invented British weapon, were used for the first time in a mass attack on November 20 1917, they not only achieved one of the most remarkable successes of the First World War but set the pattern for the future of mechanized warfare.  For the first time in three years of bloody trench warfare, epitomized by the slaughter at Passchendaele which was then reaching its climax, tanks brought about a breakthrough of the massive German defense system of the Hindenburg Line, followed up by British infantry and cavalry divisions.  They were supported for the first time by low flying fighter aircraft of the Royal Flying Corps.  The initial victory at Cambrai brought cheering crowds into the streets of London and the ringing of church bells in celebration.  In seemed possible that the success might bring about the final defeat of Germany.  But the British High Command failed to exploit the success.  Generals who still dreamt of massive cavalry charges had not had much faith in this strange new weapon that had been brought to them  funded initially by the Royal Navy at the behest of Winston Churchill who was then First Lord of the Admiralty and did see its value.  The High Command did not really believe the breakthrough was possible and tragically miscalculated the necessary steps to follow it up.  Within days the Germans counterattacked and regained much of the ground that the British had won.  What could have been the final victory was delayed for another year.
