Condition: new. ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (New, Paperback, 2017). (2016) 2017 paperback edition. 8vo paperback (128 x 197mm). Pp320. B/w vignette illustrations. Red card covers titled in yellow and white. Mint new copy. "We should all know exactly where our meat comes from. But what if you took this modern-day maxim to its logical conclusion? What if you only ate animals you killed yourself? Fed up of friends claiming to care about the provenance of their food, Louise Gray decides to follow the argument to its logical extreme. Starting small, Louise shucks oysters and catches fish. Gradually she gets to know countrymen and women who teach her how to shoot pigeons and rabbits. As she begins to reconnect with nature and her own upbringing in the countryside, Louise starts to question modern attitudes to the meat we eat. How did we end up eating so much meat, with no idea how animals are raised and killed on our behalf? Louise begins to look into how our meat is processed, including the beef in burgers, cheap chicken, bacon and farmed fish. She researches halal slaughter and visits abattoirs to ask whether modern technology can make eating meat more humane. She goes on a pheasant shoot and onto a grouse moor and contemplates whether there is still a place for game shooting in modern Britain. And she delves into alternative food culture in the UK, sourcing roadkill and cooking herself a lovely bit of squirrel stir-fry. The biggest animal Louise kills is a red deer stag, a moment she describes in a chapter about taking responsibility, growing up and her relationship with her own father. Towards the end of her challenge, Louise explores alternative sources of protein, including insects, in vitro meat and plant-based proteins. She reflects on the impact of the growing global demand for meat and argues that all of us eating less meat should be a key part of fighting climate change. Louise's writing about nature, food and the environment is liberally dashed with humour and she gets to the heart of modern anxieties about where our meat comes from, asking the most important question of all: is it possible to be an ethical carnivore?" PREVIOUS PRICE £9.99.

ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Paperback, 2017). (2016) 2017 paperback edition. Small 8vo paperback (128 x 198mm). Ppxii,273. B/w frontispiece. Crese to front cover else very good, solidly intact second-hand paperback. The inside story on Barry Hines' classic novel, Kes, or, A Kestrel for a Knave, written by the subject of the story, Barry's younger brother, Richard. The title of the book is from a quote by Edmund Bert, 1619 "There is no way but gentlenesse to redeeme a Hawke." "Born and raised in the South Yorkshire mining village of Hoyland Common, Richard Hines remembers sliding down heaps of coal dust, listening out for the colliery siren at the end of shifts, and praying for his father's safe return. It seemed all too likely that he would follow in his father's footsteps and end up working in the pits, especially when to his mother's horror and his own he failed the 11+, so that unlike his older brother Barry, who had passed the exam to grammar school and who seemed to be heading for great things, Richard was left without hope of academic achievement. Crushed by this, and persecuted by the cruelty of his teachers, Richard spent his time in the fields and meadows just beyond the colliery slag heap. One morning, walking in the grounds of a ruined medieval manor, he came across a nest of kestrels. Instantly captivated, he sought out ancient falconry texts from the local library, and pored over the strange and beautiful language there. With just these books, some ingenuity, and his profound respect for the hawk's indomitable wildness, Richard learned to "man", or train, his kestrel, Kes, and in the process grow into the man he would become. Richard and his experiences with kestrels inspired Barry's classic novel A Kestrel for a Knave. When production began on what would become Ken Loach's iconic film Kes, Richard found himself training the kestrels that would soar on screen and into cinematic history. No Way But Gentlenesse is a superb, moving memoir of one remarkable boy's love for a forgotten culture, and his attempt to find salvation in the natural world." .

"With their wild glare, swift turn of foot and secretive nature, hares have long been a symbol of our sweeping, open countryside and it is always thrilling to spot a hare in the wild. A favourite subject of artists and writers, hares have held significance in British culture and folklore for centuries, from Druidic associations with spring to the Easter Bunny and Lewis Carroll's mad March Hare. Focussing on our two British species - the Brown Hare and its relatives the Mountain Hare and Irish Hare - Nancy Jennings uses up-to-date research to offer insights into the lives of these enigmatic animals, covering their biology, evolution, habitats and behaviour, including their famous 'boxing' rituals, and reveals why this almost mythical animal of hill and meadow is so sensitive to the changes we make to age-old farming landscapes." Chapters include:- Meet the hares; Evolution and adaptations; Relatives around the world; The lives of hares; Breeding machines; Growing up fast; Eat or be eaten; Conservation of hares; Humans and hares; Folklore and art; How to see hares. .

Bird, Stephanie / Fulbrook, Mary / Wagner, Julia / Wienand, Christiane, ed. Reverberations of Nazi Violence in Germany and Beyond: Disturbing Pasts. London ; New York: Bloomsbury Academic, 2017, 294pp., PAPERBACK, very good. "Reverberations of Nazi Violence in Germany and Beyond explores the complex and diverse reverberations of the Second World War after 1945. It focuses on the legacies that National Socialist violence and genocide perpetrated in Europe continue to have in German-speaking countries and communities, as well as among those directly affected by occupation, terror and mass murder. Furthermore it explores how those legacies are in turn shaped by the present.The volume also considers conflicting, unexpected and often dissonant interpretations and representations of these events, made by those who were the witnesses, victims and perpetrators at the time and also by different communities in the generations that followed. The contributions, from a range of disciplinary perspectives, enrich our understanding of the complexity of the ways in which a disturbing past continues to disrupt the present and how the past is in turn disturbed and instrumentalized by a later present" - CONTENTS: Introduction : disturbing the past, disturbed by the past / Stephanie Bird and Mary Fulbrook -- PART I.
