The funny, touching and entertaining story of how Jo Hardy, the
star of BBC2's Young Vets, gets to grips with animals big and
small, friendly and not-at-all-happy, on the road to becoming a
fully qualified vet. 'Stand well clear. Keep your eyes on them. Oh,
and make sure you have insurance.' Not the most comforting words of
wisdom, but probably the most useful for a trainee vet, Jo would
say. From well-equipped surgeries to windswept hills and ramshackle
barns, Jo has to be able to diagnose and treat any animal, at any
time of the day or night. It's not quite as easy as James Herriot
made it seem. Jo's final year of training saw her race from rectal
examinations of cows to spine surgery on a Great Dane, and from
treating an eventing horse with a heart problem to inserting a
contraceptive implant into a monkey. And then there were the owners
- the tough guy who sobbed when his cat was diagnosed with cancer,
the woman who was convinced her dog was embarrassed by its stomach
upset, and the farmer who loved his cows as much as anyone loves
their pets. Gruelling days of animal treatments and visits combined
with long nights of study and revision made Jo's final year of
training the most demanding and rewarding year of her life. Her
book tells of the highs and lows, the pets that stole her heart,
and the lifelong friends that she made - with two legs and four.

Celebrated world-wide for his modern romantic jewels that push the
boundaries of contemporary design, Shaun Leane has been responsible
for creating a new genre of jewellery; precious, poetic, with a
sense of eternity, yet relevant to today's world. Illustrated with

close-ups of the pieces themselves. Captured by photographers Nick
Knight, Robert Fairer and Chris Moore, along with a dedicated photo
essay of unseen backstage images recorded by Leane's close friend
Ann Ray. Shaun Leane is introduced by the jeweller himself, then
divided into three distinct parts: His heritage and training, by
Joanna Hardy; reflections on Leane's famous collaboration with
Alexander McQueen, by Claire Wilcox; and his modern classic
commercial jewellery style, by Vivienne Becker. Altogether, this
book provides a vital overview of an artist that will be of
interest to anyone who follows the contemporary jewellery and
fashion scene. This special edition is limited to just 250 copies.
