Donald Barnard came to England from St Lucia to join the RAF as a
bomber pilot. On his second tour of operations, he was shot down
over northern France in September 1942. He was rewarded with the
Distinguished Flying Cross whilst missing in action. Donald evaded
capture; assisted to Spain by an escape network, and later compiled
a detailed diary of his entire evasion exploits. Posted to test fly
Spitfires, flying in excess of 1,000 individual aircraft. Barnard
then moved to the Far East supply dropping in 1945. In Burma
disapproving of the delay in recovering the emaciated allied POWs,
he decided to take an aircraft without authority. 25 prisoners were
recovered from Bankok to Rangoon. After a full Court Martial, he
was dismissed from the RAF. He flew civilian aircraft after the war
in Australia and in Britain, joining No.2 Civil Anti Aircraft
Co-operation Unit in Norfolk, 1953. Flying ended for him in 1955,
and he died in 1997 at the age of 79. Rarely has the opportunity
been available to reproduce from a diary such a personal account of
evasion. A bomber and Spitfire pilot, Court Martialled for the
rescue of Japanese held emaciated allied prisoners of war, creates
a unique career story supported by French resistance sources
original photographs.
This book is one of a series of more than 20 volumes resulting
from the World Archaeological Congress, September 1986, attempting
to bring together not only archaeologists and anthropologists from
many parts of the world, as well as academics from contingent
disciplines, but also non-academics from a wide range of cultural
backgrounds. This text looks at human-animal interactions,
especially some of the less well known aspects of the field. A
number of studies in the book document some of the vast changes
humankind has wrought upon the natural environment through the
movement of various species of animals around the world. These
chapters provide contributions to the understanding of contemporary
ecological problems, especially the deforestation taking place to
provide grazing for live-stock. The 31 contributions offer a
shop-window of approaches, primarily from a biological
perspective.
Papers from an important conference on zooarchaeology, reflecting
state-of-the-art work on the study of human relationship to animals
in ancient times.

The book aims to integrate our understanding of mammalian societies
into a novel synthesis that is relevant to behavioural ecologists,
ecologists, and anthropologists. It adopts a coherent structure
that deals initially with the characteristics and strategies of
females, before covering those of males, cooperative societies and
hominid societies. It reviews our current understanding both of the
structure of societies and of the strategies of individuals; it
combines coverage of relevant areas of theory with coverage of
interspecific comparisons, intraspecific comparisons and
experiments; it explores both evolutionary causes of different
traits and their ecological consequences; and it integrates
research on different groups of mammals with research on primates
and humans and attempts to put research on human societies into a
broader perspective.

Unlike most other large mammals, the Soay sheep population of Hirta in the St. Kilda archipelago show persistent oscillations, sometimes increasing or declining by more than 60% in a year. This study explores the causes of these oscillations and their consequences for selection on genetic and phenotypic variation within the population, drawing on studies over the past twenty years of the life-histories and reproductive careers of many sheep. It will be essential reading for vertebrate ecologists, demographers, evolutionary biologists and behavioral ecologists.
A survey of the cat and its 7,000-year relationship with mankind.
Using illustrations drawn mainly from the British and Natural
History Museums, this book looks at the different roles cats have
played in human life and how modern breeds have evolved from the
original wild cat.
