THE GREYHOUND: BREEDING, COURSING, RACING, etc. By James Matheson.
A VINTAGE DOG BOOKS CLASSIC REPRINT. Originally published in 1929,
this extremely scarce early work on the Greyhound is both expensive
and hard to find in its first edition. VINTAGE DOG BOOKS have
republished it, using the original text and photographs, as part of
their CLASSIC BREED BOOKS series. The author was a well known
greyhound man. He was as successful with his dogs on the track as
he was in the field. His many years of expert knowledge are
encapsulated within this book's two hundred and sixty eight pages.

on: Origins and History of Greyhound Racing. - Future of the
Greyhound? - What is a Good Greyhound? - Breeding. - Walks v.
Rearing at Home. - The Whelping Hut. - Management of the Brood

books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are
now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. VINTAGE DOG BOOKS

James Matheson (1796-1878) became a leading taipan, with
significant influence and power in Hong Kong. When this pamphlet
was published, in 1836, he was still trading from Canton
(Guangzhou) and, following the abolition of the East India
Company's monopoly on trade with China, appealed to the British
government to pressure the Chinese to lift the severe restrictions
on trading. He suggests that despite the efforts of the merchants,
China refuses to acknowledge the law of nations, to trade fairly,
and as such has 'long since surrendered her rights and is no longer
in a position to enforce them'. Matheson's personal appeal to the
Duke of Wellington was rebuffed, but his business partner, William
Jardine, later persuaded Lord Palmerston to adopt a tougher
approach, which ultimately led to the First Opium War. This is a
powerful and provocative text: a defence of both free trade and an
aggressive foreign policy.
Andrew Reed (1787 1862) was a Congregational Minister and one of
the leading philanthropists of his day, fund-raising for and
founding a number of orphanages and asylums. In 1834, he and fellow
Congregational Minister James Matheson (1766 1840) were sent to the
Congregational churches of the United States, in order to promote
peace and friendship between the two communities. This two-volume
1835 work consists of thirty-nine letters in which the authors
recount their journey, and their meetings with their fellow
Congregationalists. They visited a large number of cities, mostly
on the Eastern Seaboard, and made one excursion to Canada. In
Volume 1, the focus is on their arrival in America and their first
impression of the country and its people. They note with approval
that that 'there is less claptrap, less trifling, and no frivolity'
in Congregational services in the United States, as compared with
England.

tells of the many different communities that Reed and Matheson
encounter in America, and the focus is mostly on theological and
educational issues. They approve of female academies, asking
rhetorically, 'why should not our daughters, equally with our sons,
possess the advantages, which these institutions ... so readily
supply?'.
Disaster medicine is a broad and dynamic field that encompasses the
medical and surgical response to mass casualty incidents including
rail, air, and road traffic accidents; domestic terrorism; and
pandemic outbreaks. It also encompasses the global issues of
conflict and natural catastrophe. Specialists in disaster medicine
provide insight, guidance, and expertise on the principles and
practice of medicine both in the disaster impact area and
healthcare evacuation-receiving facilities. They liaise with
emergency management professionals, hospitals, healthcare
facilities, communities, and governments. With contributions by
international authorities in the field, Making Sense of Disaster
Medicine: A Hands-on Guide for Medics is an accessible text
designed for all medical students and professionals who may find
themselves responding to such incidents. Part of the highly
successful Making Sense series, the book features an easy-to-read
layout and boxed sections with "learning points," "thinking
points," "pearls of wisdom," and "hazards." Each chapter concludes
with a summary and list of key resources and case studies further
enhance the text.
