Foundations of Animal Health Investment
This book lays the groundwork for understanding the economic and strategic aspects of animal health investments, setting the stage for a global shift towards sustainable veterinary infrastructure. Illuminating the practical implications of adopting system-based approaches to animal health financing, it scrutinizes case studies and success stories where integrated financial strategies have led to improved veterinary services and, consequently, better health outcomes for both animals and humans. The volume advocates for: - the adoption of financing mechanisms that are not only sustainable but also adaptable to the challenges posed by climate change, biodiversity loss, and the emergence of zoonotic diseases - a shift towards financing that supports robust veterinary infrastructure and proactive health measures - considering global discourse on the most effective ways to mobilize resources for the collective benefit of all species and the planet. Part of a wider series that provides a blend of technical insight, strategic analysis, and practical approaches to enhancing animal health, this book is a first step to achieving poverty reduction and improved human welfare.

The Umbrella Man and Other Stories
Dallas, 22 November 1963. The main event is supposed to be downtown, on Main Street. News footage shows office workers leaning out of windows, peering at the motorcade through a blizzard of ticker tape. On the sidewalks, the crowds are fifty deep, a wall of noise and celebration. Everyone thinks this is the place to be. A few blocks away, in Dealey Plaza, the air is different. There is no ticker tape here. The crowds are thin. The only person filming is a dressmaker balanced on a concrete plinth. In this quiet corner, there's a man opening an umbrella even though it isn't raining, a construction worker in a hard hat who claims he was sent here by God, three tramps who stand on the verge of becoming suspects, an unidentified witness known only as the Babushka Lady, and many more. This is not a book about conspiracies or a lone gunman. This is a book about memory, about how we construct our shared history, and about what happens when your life is defined by a single, fleeting moment. It's about a group of real people who opted out of the main event before John F. Kennedy was assassinated, only to find themselves accidental witnesses to the most scrutinised six seconds of the twentieth century.

This Is No Game
Horse races. Slam dunks. The ground game. Sports metaphors are ubiquitous in American politics. In this book, Benjamin Darr catalogs and critiques the various ways that sports shape our popular perceptions of politics and elections, leading to misunderstandings, misconceptions, and mistakes in our expectations for democracy and how it should function. Seeing politics as a sport ultimately generates a warped conception of democracy which overlooks the people and glorifies elites. This happens via two broad paths. First, the role of the citizen is replaced by the fan, whose job is not to act in the common good, or even in on? own interests, but to cheer from the stands for on? favorite elite team. A second danger arises from an excessive focus on the strategy of the game of politics. This not only provides politicians with cover for broken promise? ut also points us to technical experts who tell us exactly how we should play the game, leading us toward micromanaged technocracy rather than democratic accountability. In these ways, thinking of politics as a sport often points us away from the ideals of democracy and instead toward the optimization of elite power.

An Accident of Dragons: Deluxe Stenciled Edges
An unlikely lord finally meets a problem he can't flirt his way out of in this adventurous and slyly light-hearted queer cozy fantasy featuring pirates, dragons, kidnapping, tea, and other high-fantasy delights for readers of Rebecca Thorne, TJ Klune, Sarah Beth Durst, and Travis Baldree.
Deluxe Limited Edition Paperback with Stenciled Edges!
In theory, the dragoness of Summer can make any resident on her island the ruler, if the previous Lord Summer is so careless as to die without an heir. In practice, absolutely no one expected her to choose Teddy, the last lord's middle-aged fancy man. With his quick wit, heaps of charisma, and excellent dress sense, Teddy brings plenty of virtues to his new role, but statecraft, pedigree, and decorum are not among them. That's all right: he's done his duty to the island, and his five-year-old daughter, Zinnia, will make a brilliant Lady Summer when her time comes.
Except when a ship of desperate mainlander thieves arrives, Zinnia's caught in the fracas and taken hostage. Teddy jumps into the rescue mission without delay, even though his days of adventures on the mainland are long buried with his lover. But his sailors have never seen their destination, and worse, the hard-liner admiral who leads them thinks Teddy's a worthless dandy. Against a conniving robber baron, a sorceress who's tamed her own dragon, and ordinary people with everything to lose, the crew faces terrible odds. But with all he loves in danger, Teddy must prove there's more to him than he'd ever intended to show.

The White Cat´s Divine Scratching Post, Vol. 2
THE CAT'S OUT OF THE BAG
Knowing that his beautiful master, Qingtong, is actually the spirit cat he pampered in his previous life, Mo Tianliao wants to get back to doting on his precious kitty! Oh, to be brushing his lovely hair, feeding him delicious treats, spoiling him all over again, and maybe even...a kiss or two? No? Claws to the face instead? Well, that's fine. After all, the most essential thing is healing the damage to Qingtong's divine soul, and that won't be as simple as providing tender loving care.
To help his master, Mo Tianliao needs an elixir made from the rare Jadefruit, which only grows on a single tree. A tree that just so happens to be the property of a rival cultivation sect, one that views spirit beasts like Qingtong as valuable commodities to be bought and sold.
With his unmatched mastery of artifacts and arrays, Mo Tianliao may be able to steal the priceless fruit with his skills alone. But, as they infiltrate the Liuyun Sect, he and Qingtong risk revealing their own sect's greatest secret: that all its highest-ranked cultivators are actually spirit beasts in human form!

The Pretenders
Three couples. Two exes. One day of reckoning. Jasper’s brother Edmund has never been exciting, but he is reliable and always there for his little brother, no matter what. It’s only natural that the day after their engagement, Jasper and bride-to-be Holly decide to surprise Edmund with a celebratory visit. John, Jasper’s fun loving and devoted best friend, comes along. Of course he wouldn’t think of missing such an occasion. Anne joins them, because she’s John’s wife and Jasper is a huge part of her life. Edmund and Ovidia aren’t expecting visitors, but they can’t exactly say no when Jasper and the others walk into their London mansion one Saturday morning in spring. Ovidia is not supposed to be there. Perhaps Edmund is not as reliable as Jasper believed. Maybe John doesn’t know everything about his best friend. Today they will all have to face the consequences of the lies they’ve told themselves.
The Prison Project
As a young, novice dance teacher, Aimee Friel’s first full-time job took an unexpected turn when she was asked to teach regular dance classes for young offenders at a Scottish prison. Many of her students were her own age, but their worlds couldn’t have been more different. Thrown into chaotic classes filled with cringeworthy chat-up lines, cheeky Glaswegian banter, and hilarious dad-dancing, Aimee embarked on a journey of growth alongside the young men in her classes. She faced challenges including impromptu drum sessions, a stolen safety alarm and the harsh realities of trauma, toxic masculinity and stigma. As trust built, so did transformation. Through comedic tea breaks, some difficult conversations and unexpected choreography, Aimee was drawn to the deeper roots of incarceration – from adverse childhood experiences to homelessness and substance misuse. Interwoven with personal reflection, including her own family’s struggle with addiction and trauma, The Prison Project challenges perceptions and asks what it really takes to make a difference in the lives of young people.
Birds Up Close
A renowned engineer and ornithologist reveals the marvel of how birds work from the tips of their beaks to the sheen of their tailfeathers. With over 150 full-color illustrations, a unique gift book for everyone from the avid birder to the bird beginner. Consider feathers: They define birds wings, enabling flight. They insulate against cold. They repel water. They even control sound. And how feathers work is just one aspect of the wonders of birds explained by pathbreaking researcher and lifelong birder Lorna Gibson in Birds Up Close. Feathers, bones, bills, eggs, flight: all come in for scrutiny in this engaging book. What produces the iridescence of plumage? How does the internal structure of a bird s bones make them lightweight? How do different birds use their bills and tongues from woodpeckers penetrating the holes they drill to hummingbirds imbibing nectar, to sandpipers needling the sand, and to phalaropes drawing water droplets containing plankton into their mouths without sucking (no lips!)? Drawing on her expertise and personal experience in both engineering and ornithology, the author explores the hidden microscopic structures and engineering principles that keep birds aloft and alive how an egg is formed, how a bird generates lift; how raptors soar and glide, albatrosses fly thousands of miles, hummingbirds hover, puffins and penguins fly underwater. She also considers the longer view of birds in their habitats and natural history. Her up-close look at avian mysteries provides a perspective like no other for the expert ornithologist and curious observer alike.
The Mineral Reset
From the co-founder and CEO of BEAM Minerals, a guide to the importance of mineral replenishment for optimal health and how to restore the minerals your body needs to function at its best. Minerals are the substrate of literally everything in the galaxy, even the universe. They are the building blocks and fuel, for all cellular life. Without minerals life would cease to exist and in fact, our own bodies would stop functioning, within hours. It’s amazing that the most basic understanding of something so fundamental to life is not taught, or even thought much about by even the most educated doctors and practitioners. You wouldn’t own a car if you didn’t know the basics of how to fill up the gas tank, or what to fill it with. But here we are, living in our bodies daily, mostly unaware that we have no idea how our body’s energy systems work and how to replenish them effectively. So, we struggle, with weight, inflammation, sleep, cravings, brain fog, low energy and a general feeling that “something is missing”. There is something missing: minerals! Minerals, and how they contribute to health, is widely misunderstood, resulting in misinformation and products that confuse people and ultimately cause more problems than they solve. Understanding some simple facts about how minerals operate in the body and how a person can easily and effectively replenish their body’s mineral stores, can be a game changer for anyone experiencing chronic issues related to physical, mental, emotional and energetic health. This book is about the human body as a holistic ecosystem made of cells and an introduction into minerals as a cornerstone of cellular ecosystem health. Told through story, metaphors, visual descriptions and simple language, this book makes a complex subject accessible. This book is written for anyone who recognizes in themselves that hidden hunger (that sense that something is missing), or seeks answers to why they are struggling to thrive.
