  'The lawyers are once again on standby' – ALEX PAYNE 
  'I have no idea how this book deal was signed, but in the spirit of GBR -"Once in, all in"' – MIKE TINDALL 
  Among the key questions answered are:What happened when Mike took their shambles of a podcast inside the walls of Windsor Castle to meet the Prince and Princess of Wales and the Princess Royal?How did James end up nearly killing himself on the way to the DJ set, find himself forced to save Payno from Tins and get confronted by irate fan?Why did Alex's broadcasting career sink to such depressing depths? And will it ever recover? (Spoiler alert – it won't.) 
  In this epically no-holds-barred book, all three of them go behind the scenes of the hugely successful podcast, pulling back the curtain to reveal their most outrageous antics on tour – the ups, the downs and the sideways – and leaving no story untold. 
  All is unleashed.

  Fashion After Fifty - A Guide to...

  The trouble with being over fifty is that everything starts to change. By sixty, gravity has started to pull hard and by seventy there is an urgent need to cover up some of the wobbly bits. The female ageing process has not been helped by society’s worship of youth and airbrushed beauty. Yet despite the youth-obsessed society of which the fashion industry is only one reflection, women continue to need to feel good about themselves, to nurture their self-confidence; to re-educate themselves about what works and why, to seek new doyennes of style and to retain beauty that is attainable past the first blush of youth.
  In this timely new edition of her tongue-in-cheek look at the fashion world, Kaaren Hale gives us her take on the industry and how to confidently find your own style in an ever-changing and confusing landscape.The women of her generation are the product of the conservative Fifties, the Swinging Sixties, the boom-boom Eighties and sober Nineties. They have enjoyed many heydays and aren’t ready to give up just yet. So why is it that the fashion industry, with few exceptions, directs all its ideas to the very young?
  Although the lack of style mentors and fashion choices is disheartening, women do not have to fill their wardrobes with dreary clothes, insensitive to the high-spirited girl inside them who still craves fashion adventure. They may not have Donna Karan to guide them personally through the minefield of middle age, but they can learn from their peers who already know how to do it – and enjoy the ride. This is a book for a generation of women that has done it all, seen it all and still wants to look – and feel – good.

  Man Cattle and Veld

  THE book for Profitable Ranching. A Real Ranching Revolution. Cattle Breeding. Grazing Management. 
  Much like nature, this book is both simple and complex. The author has taken great care to create both a simple technical guide as well as a philosophic declaration about complex human and environmental nuances, all in one volume. 
  Those persons who see and shape the future often say that the future is already here, it just isn't evenly distributed. I am confident that, several years from now many will look back upon this book, as well as the rest of Johann Zietsman's works, as foundational to the restoration of—and relationships between—man, cattle, and veld. 
  Zietsman puts forth a much-needed critique of man and his actions over the past century as well as personal stories as contra-example to the narratives we that have dominated the ranching world. 
  Achieving the ranch goal of maximum sustainable profit per hectare depends on breeding and feeding cattle (and all grazing species) as the grazers that they are. Efforts should be directed at raising cattle that are more efficient converters of forage, not on trying to make forage-reliant species into grain-efficient machines. Forces of nature created the animals we have, and their genetic potential will be brought out through non-selective grazing and proper supplementation. 
  Non-selective, time-controlled grazing, in which 80 to 95 percent of the mass of all grasses and forbs are utilized, thus pruning plants back to their crowns, is the process by which grasslands are improved in both plant vigor and species composition. I cannot overemphasize the importance of this last point—plant species diversity is promoted by time-controlled severe grazing events, whereas selective, take half leave half grazing is much more limited in improving species diversity, even leading to species narrowing in some circumstances.
