Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. From Napoleon Bonaparte to Winston Churchill, military experience has provided both men and women down the ages with a wealth of sage advice and wise council, not only on wartime strategy, but on lessons for living a good life; from the moral and political dimensions of conflict, to leadership, work, marriage, family and friendship.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. Aged 28, Eileen Riley had an enviably glamorous life; her globe-trotting career as a diplomat took her from the corridors of power at the White House to postings in Cameroon and Papua New Guinea, and finally, London - where she decided to jack it all in to become a professional dog-sitter. As you do. In fact her diplomatic skills were to prove invaluable in her new career. Secrets of a Pet Nanny is a fabulous and very funny collection of tales about the dogs she has looked after, from pedigree puppies to rare Tibetan terriers. Riley is a true dog devotee but that does not prevent her casting a caustic eye over her charges - and their devoted owners. Part dog memoir, part outsider's perspective on the eternal relationship between the English and their dogs, this is sure to appeal to animal-lovers of all stripes. The book has been read but remains in clean condition. All pages are intact and the cover is intact. Some minor wear to the spine.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. THE INTERNATIONAL AND SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER; All leaders are constrained by geography. Their choices are limited by mountains, rivers, seas and concrete. Yes, to understand world events you need to understand people, ideas and movements.but if you don't know geography, you'll never have the full picture.; To understand Putin's actions, for example, it is essential to consider that, to be a world power, Russia must have a navy. And if its ports freeze for six months each year then it must have access to a warm water port - hence, the annexation of Crimea was the only option for Putin. To understand the Middle East, it is crucial to know that geography is the reason why countries have logically been shaped as they are - and this is why invented countries (e.g. Syria, Iraq, Libya) will not survive as nation states.; Spread over ten chapters (covering Russia; China; the USA; Latin America; the Middle East; Africa; India and Pakistan; Europe; Japan and Korea; and Greenland and the Arctic), using maps, essays and occasionally the personal experiences of the widely travelled author, Prisoners of Geography looks at the past, present and future to offer an essential guide to one of the major determining factors in world history.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Perhaps now best known for her performance as Clara - the teacher who grew to love an ordinary butcher - in the legendary movie, Marty, this fascinating memoir by one of Hollywood's most elusive actresses was published to considerable acclaim in America last year. Hailed as a work of "touching honesty" by Gavin Lambert in the LA Times, the book's New York Times reviewer, film-maker James Toback, claimed "I know of no other book, written from inside that mythical-historical Hollywood world, or from outside it, that comes close to so vivid an evocation of its mood". Aged sixteen, Betsy Blair was picked by Gene Kelly for a New York show, at an audition of six hundred girls. Their work relationship led to marriage and Kelly's soon-to-be-glittering career moved them both to Hollywood. We see Kelly work with Garland amongst other great stars. As MGM projects Betsy Blair's husband towards stardom, we witness their Saturday night parties (among the regulars: George Cukor, Vincente Minelli, Leonard Bernstein, Lena Horne, Noel Coward, even Greta Garbo): always observed from Miss Blair's wry, highly individual sense of what she felt mattered. Fur coats were for premieres only! Her growing political activism led her to the Communist Party - who rejected her - but caused the terrifying moment when she found herself black-listed. This unique account of her sixteen-year marriage to a Hollywood legend shifts a gear, as the relationship falters. She wins the Golden Palm at Cannes and begins a new life as an expatriate in Paris where friends and party guests now include Simone Signoret, Yves Montand, Marguerite Duras, and Luis Bunuel. The third strand in this remarkable memoir brings her to London and marriage to Karel Reisz. "I never wanted to write a memoir about being married to a movie star. I don't write in bitterness. How could I, when I lived the merry dance of our lives? Rather, I'm writing to tell his children, and his four grandchildren.about the time of his life that I knew and how I got to be there-and what happened next". Miss Blair has written a special afterword for this English publication which brings her story finally, full-circle. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. There are all sorts of people, events and sounds that exist in the musical world for which there are no words.

But in a fast-changing world, how does the great British countryside continue to provide the food we eat?; Most people living in Britain today must go back several generations before they find an ancestor who worked on the land.

From ultramodern indoor dairy units producing millions of litres of milk a year to small, old-fashioned farms making cheese with twenty or thirty cows, and from landowners whose families have farmed the same fields for centuries to tenants who have just joined the industry, Pye-Smith investigates the timeless connection between land and people in the twenty-first century.; Revealing the dairy industry in Somerset and Gloucestershire; beef in the Scottish Borders; sheep in North Yorkshire; pigs and poultry in East Anglia and Hampshire; vegetables in Norfolk; and fruit in Essex and the West Country, Land of Plenty is a colourful and rewarding travelogue that gets to the very heart of modern British life.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. As one of the largest predators left in Britain, the fox is captivating: a comfortably familiar figure in our country landscapes; an intriguing flash of bright-eyed wildness in our towns.; Yet no other animal attracts such controversy, has provoked more column inches or been so ambiguously woven into our culture over centuries, perceived variously as a beautiful animal, a cunning rogue, a vicious pest and a worthy foe. As well as being the most ubiquitous of wild animals, it is also the least understood.; In Foxes Unearthed Lucy Jones investigates the truth about foxes in a media landscape that often carries complex agendas. Delving into fact, fiction, folklore and her own family history, Lucy travels the length of Britain to find out first-hand why these animals incite such passionate emotions, revealing our rich and complex relationship with one of our most loved - and most vilified - wild animals. This compelling narrative adds much-needed depth to the debate on foxes, asking what our attitudes towards the red fox say about us and, ultimately, about our relationship with the natural world.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. A soaring celebration of summer and a poignant journey into the changing nature of the British season from the award-winning author ofWinteringandThe Seafarers. Summer is traditionally a time of plenty, of warmth; a time to celebrate abundance. And so Stephen Rutt sets out to explore the natural world during its moment of fullest bloom. Butterflies and dragonflies add colour to his days; moths and bats lift the warm nights; swallows, nightjars and wood warblers fill the forests and skies. What Stephen notices too, however, are the many ways in which the season is becoming deranged by a changed and changing climate: the wrong birds singing at the wrong time; August days as cold as February; the creeping disturbances that we may not notice while nature still has some voice. The Eternal Seasonis both a celebration of summer and a warning of the unravelling of this beautiful web of abundant life.This is a book that sings with love and careful observation, with an eye on all that we might lose but also save. ***'An urgent and beautiful walk through the changing character of the British summer.'Rebecca Schiller, author ofEarthed 'Elegant, vivid, thoroughly absorbing,The Eternal Seasonstrikes the perfect balance between celebrating the natural world and sounding a realistic warning about the damage we continue to wreak on it. All in all, a treat.Lev Parikian, author ofInto the Tangled Bank. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. In the future, how many identities will you have? How many do you want?Digital technology is causing us to think differently about who we are and who we could become, but with the right knowledge we can turn this incredible capacity to our advantage. 'Who am I?' is one of the most fundamental questions of all. But it is becoming increasingly difficult to answer as technology enables us to negotiate and create many different versions of ourselves. In our digital, data-driven world, Facebook gets a say in verifying who we are, science can alter our biology, and advances in AI are revolutionizing not only how we interact online but with the physical world around us. Understanding and defining ourselves is becoming confusing but, as this fascinating book argues, it is possible to embrace this new era of transformation while preserving our autonomy. InThe Future of You, Professional futurist Tracey Follows shows how our personal freedoms and potential will be transformed over the coming decades. From health passports, bio-hacking and relationships with machines to mind clones, digital voting and virtual legacies beyond the grave, we need to understand these vital issues today so that we might design the future of our identity tomorrow. 'This fascinating book explores the way that emerging technologies such as AI might affect the nature of personal identity and personhood. It paints an intriguing, thought-provoking, and occasionally disturbing picture.'Michael Wooldridge, author ofThe Road to Conscious. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The Gurkhas are an elite fighting force from Nepal who have served the British Crown since 1815. They occupy a unique place in the public's imagination, and are renowned for their loyalty, professionalism and resolve. Through stunning photography, Arc of the Gurkha explores the span of the Gurkha career from recruitment through to training and deployment up to post-military employment and retirement. Alex Schlacher has accompanied the Gurkhas on operations in Afghanistan, on exercises in the Brunei jungle and Australia, and has visited all the units in the Brigade as well as retired and medically discharged Gurkhas. She has taken intimate portraits of hundreds of soldiers and heard their stories, many of which are recounted in this book. There have been other books on the Gurkhas, but none has portrayed the individual soldiers and focused about their backgrounds, lives and thoughts. This unique and insightful publication is the first to explore what it really means for a Gurkha to be a Gurkha. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
