Deer stalking entails much more than walking the countryside with a rifle; there is a great deal to be considered prior to lacing boots and donning a green fleece. It is often said that the real work starts after the trigger has been squeezed. This book looks at all aspects of the pursuit, with clear explanations accompanied by advice, images and anecdotes. In addition, there is a unique reference chapter of all potential conditions a deer may suffer from, with full descriptions and images, and advice on suitability for entering the food chain. Specific coverage includes: laws, leases and making a start obtaining an FAC: the necessary equipment in this technological age; deer species, with identifying images; deer senses and how they shape our approach to them; shot placement and maximum shooting distances; the importance of bullet design and its effect on the carcass; stalking activities by month through the year; after the stalk - sticking, initial evisceration, inspection and recovery; at the larder - hygiene, and who needs to register as a food business and finally, inspecting the carcass, with a library of images showing conditions.

Dispatches and Dictators
Oregon Book Award Winner for General NonfictionDispatches and Dictators uncovers the fascinating story of Oregon native Ralph Barnes, the New York Herald Tribune’s European correspondent, who served in Paris, Rome, Moscow, Berlin, and London in the years between the two world wars. Barnes has been praised by colleagues and competitors alike as one of the best reporters of that pivotal era. But since his death in the 1940 crash of a British bomber in Yugoslavia, he has been largely forgotten. With persistence and unusually keen insight, Ralph Barnes reported on Fascism, Communism, Nazism, and the events leading to World War II. Stalin confined Barnes to Moscow for disclosing that millions were dying during the Soviet collectivization of agriculture, and Hitler expelled Barnes from Germany for predicting the Nazi attack on the Soviet Union. In Dispatches and Dictators, historian Barbara Mahoney chronicles the short life and brilliant career of Ralph Barnes. Her biography of this extraordinary reporter provides new insights into the tumultuous decade leading up to World War II.

The Margrave's Daughter & the Enemy Prince, Volume 7
Anna, daughter of the Margrave of Halmich, is tired of the expectations placed on women in court. She has no interest in marrying a nobleman because society expects it of her. Instead, she works hard on her swordsmanship and dreams of joining her father on the battlefield someday. Unfortunately, fate deals her a heavy blow: when the hostile forces of the Kingdom of Albion invade and take the Halmich heir prisoner, she is given to the enemy prince in exchange for her brother's life. But even in the face of these tragic circumstances, Anna still has plans of her own: 'I'll infiltrate their ranks as a tribute, and then... I'll defeat the man who killed my father.'
Tell Me What's Right
Solicitor Nick Carthy is going through a rough patch in life. Recently separated, he must leave the house he's called home for the last four years and move in with his twin brother. Working desperately to get back on his feet and craft a new plan for his life, the last thing he expects is to run into Ben Kehoe, his former college rival. Ben seems to have it all: a promising career as a barrister, a respectable reputation in legal circles, and an irresistible, charming allure. After agreeing to go their separate ways in their final year at college, they were content to never see each other again. But when a complex murder case forces the two to reunite, old wounds begin to open. Will they ever find a way to control their feelings towards one another?
Sexual Heresies
Thinking about relationships between religion and sexuality usually focuses on what religion has to say about sex. But new ideas about sex could also transform religion itself. In Britain at the end of the nineteenth century, the new sexual sciences—from anthropological accounts of religion as rooted in ancient fertility cults to psychoanalytic theories that explained religious experience in terms of psychosexual development—characterized religion as closely connected to the sexual. The outcome, as Joy Dixon traces in this book, was a new sense that religion itself could be sexually suspect. One result of that new suspicion was an increasing concern to police "sexual heresies" and to produce a supposedly normal (healthy, monogamous, and heterosexual) religiosity. The overall effect was a narrowing of the sexual possibilities inside "orthodox" religion and the increasing association of alternative forms of religion with dissident and marginal sexualities that continues to shape both religion and secularism today. Considering a wide range of materials emerging from a diverse array of British society, from modernist theologians and practitioners of sexual magic to conservative Christians and radical freethinkers, this book emphasizes the dynamic relationships between the histories of religion and of sexuality and the historical contingency of the categories we have used to understand the relationship between the two.
Bird, Nest & Egg
This book is meticulously designed as a large-format visual portfolio of the world s most distinctive birds, whose nesting behavior and natural beauty are celebrated in beautifully detailed graphite and watercolor illustrations all based on actual field studies. The exquisitely detailed bird, nest, and egg portraits are framed by details that include building techniques, materials, egg characteristics (shapes, colors, and number in a clutch), hatchlings and chicks, and parenting behaviors. Nowhere is avian ingenuity more beautifully expressed than in the construction of nests. The book is organized into chapters based on species nesting techniques: South America s crested oropendola, whose intricate, pendulous, sphere-like nests hang in trees like holiday ornaments; Arizona s ferruginous pygmy owl, whose nests are hidden in vicious yet protective thorns and bristles of giant saguaro cacti; and peregrine falcons, who scrape out a shallow depression called an eyrie in the sides of cliffs or in urban settings ledges on skyscrapers. This beautiful book celebrates the very idea of making a warm, cozy home. It is also a timely reminder of the diversity, beauty, and ingenuity of the avian world.

Cottagecore Gardens
A home does not end at its doorsteps. Cottagecore Gardens picks up where Cottagecore left off, shifting from interiors to the outdoor spaces that frame and sustain them. Courtyards, edible plots, meadows, and off-grid enclaves reveal a logic shaped by time and care rather than design rules. Loose borders and self-seeded paths speak to gardens that evolve with time and use. Together they embody a broader cultural turn toward slower, more intentional living, where the garden becomes refuge, resource, and extension of home.

Prokletý deník
Když se autor hororů Thad McAlister pustil do psaní své nejnovější knihy vycházející z čarodějnických procesů v Massachusetts, plynula slova sama od sebe. Příběh se valil vpřed a zaplňoval stránku za stránkou skutky té nejděsivější postavy, kterou jeho představivost kdy stvořila. Bylo to jeho největší dílo, takové, které by mu zajistilo místo mezi legendami žánru.
Šlo však skutečně o fikci?
Neúmyslně otevřel dveře do světa, jenž měl brzy ohrozit životy jeho blízkých.
Ona se chce vrátit.
Jeho žena doma bojuje, aby udržela jejich rodinu naživu. Ve skrytu duše však přemýšlí, zda to vše nezpůsobila sama… obchodem, který uzavřela před dávnou dobou.
ÚRYVEK Z DENÍKU CLAYTONA STONA – 1692
Dnes byla vyslýchána bez mučení v městysi Shadow Cove na základě obvinění z čarodějnictví. Tvrdila, že se toho zločinu nedopustila a nikdy v životě se nezřekla Boha. Díval jsem se, jak ji vyvádějí ven. Ubohou, neduživou bytost, vyčerpanou časem stráveným za zdmi žaláře. Bosé nohy a ruce měla spoutané koženými řemeny, oděv rozervaný na cáry. Navzdory svému stavu šla s hlavou vztyčenou a hleděla svým žalobcům zpříma do očí. Stále odmítá prozradit své jméno, takže nemůžeme vyhledat záznam o jejím křtu, a nemá ani rodinu, jež by předstoupila a označila ji za svou. Nemáme důvod věřit, že je něčím jiným než sirotkem. Shledávám, že na ni ve chvílích předcházejících jejímu procesu nedokáži pohlédnout zpříma. Ona mě však sleduje očima v odstínu té nejtmavší modři.

Ve světě, kde se kouzelný původ krutě trestá, musí mladý chlapec jménem Wynd skrývat svou pravou identitu — přestože to znamená, že nikdy nepovede život, po jakém touží. Když je však jeho tajemství ohroženo, opustí svůj domov ve městě Rourov a po boku své nejlepší kamarádky Oakley a následníka trůnu Yorika se vydá na nebezpečnou výpravu, která ho uvrhne doprostřed královského spiknutí.

Slouch
The strange and surprising history of the so-called epidemic of bad posture in modern America—from eugenics and posture pageants to today’s promoters of “paleo posture”In 1995, a scandal erupted when the New York Times revealed that the Smithsonian possessed a century’s worth of nude “posture” photos of college students. In this riveting history, Beth Linker tells why these photos were only a small part of the incredible story of twentieth-century America’s largely forgotten posture panic—a decades-long episode in which it was widely accepted as scientific fact that Americans were suffering from an epidemic of bad posture, with potentially catastrophic health consequences. Tracing the rise and fall of this socially manufactured epidemic, Slouch also tells how this period continues to feed today’s widespread anxieties about posture. In the early twentieth century, the eugenics movement and fears of disability gave slouching a new scientific relevance. Bad posture came to be seen as an individual health threat, an affront to conventional race hierarchies, and a sign of American decline. What followed were massive efforts to measure, track, and prevent slouching and, later, back pain—campaigns that reached schools, workplaces, and beyond, from the creation of the American Posture League to posture pageants. The popularity of posture-enhancing products, such as girdles and lumbar supports, exploded, as did new fitness programs focused on postural muscles, such as Pilates and modern yoga. By 1970, student protests largely brought an end to school posture exams and photos, but many efforts to fight bad posture continued, despite a lack of scientific evidence. A compelling history that mixes seriousness and humor, Slouch is a unique and provocative account of the unexpected origins of our largely unquestioned ideas about bad posture.
Uncivil Democracy
How the civil legal system undermines the political lives of marginalized communitiesEach year, as many as 250 million Americans face civil legal problems like eviction, debt collection, and substandard housing. These problems are disproportionately shouldered by racially and economically marginalized people, particularly women of color. Civil courts and legal aid organizations are supposed to protect their rights, yet more than 90 percent of low-income people receive inadequate or no legal assistance. Instead, access to justice is reserved for those who can afford its high price. For those who can’t, the repercussions can be devastating, from homelessness and loss of public benefits to broken families and diminished health. Uncivil Democracy looks at the US civil justice system through the eyes of the people whose very citizenship is indelibly shaped by it. Jamila Michener and Mallory SoRelle show how civil legal problems, and the institutions meant to address them, greatly erode trust in the legal system among marginalized communities, undermining their broader sense of democratic citizenship and political standing. While legal representation offers vital protections, increased access to justice through an ever-growing supply of lawyers does not address the structural problems that generate demand for lawyers in the first place. Looking at cases involving unfair evictions and substandard housing, Michener and SoRelle demonstrate how community groups such as tenants’ unions can fill this justice gap and provide the means to build political power that transforms the conditions that create precarity. Drawing on eye-opening qualitative evidence and a wealth of historical and survey data, Uncivil Democracy explains why collective organizing holds the greatest promise for altering the systems that create civil legal problems and exercising the political power necessary for meaningful change.
Good Stress
Now in paperback! Ten protocols to counteract the “chronic ease” that creates our modern epidemic of dis-ease, from a wellness industry leader who can prove they work—because he’s tested them on himself. “A groundbreaking guide . . . Essential for anyone seeking to harness the power of ‘in-convenience’ to achieve optimal health and well-being.” — David Perlmutter, M.D. Jeff Krasno, the founder and CEO of the global wellness platform Commune Media, thought he was pretty healthy. He suffered from brain fog, chronic fatigue, and bouts of insomnia, but those symptoms seemed utterly normal in today’s society. When he learned he had diabetes, his first thought was, How can that be? I run a wellness company! Jeff's diagnosis propelled him to consult every expert at his disposal in order to turn his health around. On this journey, he began to form a larger picture of what’s wrong with our health in the modern world. In Good Stress—co-authored with his wife, Schuyler Grant—Jeff shares what he’s learned and outlines a practical program for readers to reset their own health. We learn:· How humans evolved with Paleolithic stressors and scarcity—which conferred health and resilience—whereas today’s comforts and conveniences actually undermine our biology· Why modern life sets us up for diabetes, dementia, heart disease, cancer, and other chronic disease that results from our chronic ease· How we can come back into balance by thoughtfully subjecting our bodies and minds to the stressors we’re naturally built for Distilling the hundreds of conversations he has had with top teachers and practitioners in mind-body wellness, including Gabor Maté, Mark Hyman, Marianne Williamson, and Dr. Sara Gottfried, Jeff outlines 10 practices to extend both our lifespan and our healthspan, including:· Time-restricted eating· Cold and heat exposure· Light therapy· Eating “stressed plants”· Building our “psychological immune system” and more For each practice, Jeff shares his own experience (there’s a great story of how Wim Hof convinced him to get into an ice bath!); unpacks the science behind it, the place it has in our culture, and the effects it has on body and mind; and explains how to undertake it safely and mindfully.
