Primates - including man - are the ones to watch. In the jungle it is men or related primates who can be dangerous.It shouldn't happen to a vet, but in Richard Jones's case it invariably does - whether he's in Belize or Banffshire: an orang-utan called Josh, fractious bulls, bellowing heifers, lambless ewes, three Caesarean calvings in one night, odd goings-on in the Glacks of Garrough, a strange use for a hock bottle, a hint when Jack Russells are about to bite and a safe method of extracting an egg from a nine-foot African rock python!Yet the ones to watch in this beautifully drawn novel are, the author suggests, the humans. Why can't some people let sleeping dogs lie - especially when they're dead! And why exactly does Richard's ferocious Classics teacher reappear in his life and insist on working in the practice? Are his motives benign, or is an excision required?Read on, for laughter and indeed information, as this highly detailed and humorous picture of rural life offers both in large measure.R Llewellyn Brown was born in Tanzania in 1957 and spent much of his childhood in the tropics of Africa, Asia and South America. Educated at Marlborough College, Wiltshire and St John's College, Cambridge, he qualified as a veterinary surgeon in 1981. In the same year he met his future wife on a farm in Scotland. They have two children. After two tours working for the Belize and Hong Kong governments the family returned to Scotland. He and his wife practice in Aberdeenshire as a vet and a lawyer respectively while the children attend the local secondary school. At present he divides his time between his family, running a practice, church commitments, writing humorous articles, hockey and numerous hobbies.

In 'The Beholder', written by Ken Lavendell, the author leads you to experience many unusual events and reveals the knowledge he has gathered during his life-long search for the Creator - or God, as some people prefer to call this omnipresent, invisible existence. This experience has allowed Ken to grow from being a doubter to gaining unshakeable belief, one might almost say enlightenment.Ken has taken this spiritual experience and knowledge, which has mainly been gained in a spiritual research project spread out over several decades, and presented it as a novel. The book is set on the island of Iona, where many of the events really did take place.When reading the book, you will meet an alternative explanation of the Creation, in which thought is the origin of everything, and you will gain an understanding of the physics of fear and that the world is an illusion; knowledge of what love is; knowledge about why truth is relative and a perspective on things which one does not normally see.The goal of the book is to stimulate you to see your fellow people and your surroundings in a new way. Creating a realisation that you do not need to be a victim of circumstances, you can be a creator of your own future. It offers you inspiration in your search for truth and the mental power to change your life.

"The die was cast. There was no turning back now".The two authors of this book start out to achieve their goal of walking the length of Britain - to become "End to Enders".We are treated to a wonderful panorama of the British countryside but the authors are not simply walkers - they are explorers and commentators with a human touch. They analyse the characters they meet on the way and record the varied architecture and social culture of this country. There is not a page which lacks an interesting observation or anecdote.With total sincerity they reveal their own reactions to the challenge. They describe the situations they have to master - from forgetting the teabags to walking on hard road surfaces in the heat. However, encouraged by family support and by the views of stunning countryside from the beaches of Cornwall to the lochs of Scotland, these End to Enders complete the walk in less time than planned despite the headaches, blisters, exhaustion and inclement weather.We cannot help but be inspired by their enthusiasm, and as we read, we realise why their journey turned into a pilgrimage and why they wrote this book.If you wish to follow in the authors' footsteps, they are willing to give encouragement. There is enough information in the book to write to them.

All the world's a stageAnd all the men and women merely players...Shakespeare, As You Like ItOn a solitary sailing excursion, surrounded by the calm of the soothing sea, one man comes face to face with a tide of questions: What do we live for? What do we mean to other human beings? Where do we stand in the greater scheme of things?Dirk Bornhorst invites the reader into a meditative journey via a candid dialogue, unraveling in dreamlike, phantasmagoric scenes "which flew into the author's pen almost without his intellectual participation", as he confesses - the world, a stage populated by multidinous characters, is acted out before us, the privileged spectators. Wind, Waves and Zen is written simply, but it is far from simplistic, and induces in the reader a clarity of mind which is a truly refreshing experience.Dirk Bornhorst was born in 1927 in Lübeck, Germany, and grew up in Maracaibo, Venezuela, where his father and grandfather had been working as merchants since 1854. On a trip via Asia to Europe the family was surprised by the Second World War, and so the author received his schooling in German schools in Kobe, Japan and Tianjin, China, where he finished his high school. After studying architecture at the University of California in Berkeley and at the E.T.H. Zürich, he has worked since 1952 in Caracas as an architect and university professor.
