The Trouble with Gundogs takes a new look at the causes and cures
for the many faults that can crop up in the process of training a
Gundog. Dogs and humans have lived, worked and played together for
thousands of years and strong bonds have formed between them. With
luck and care, the training, management and handling of a Gundog
will progress without a hitch. The luck begins with natural talent
on both sides and the care ensures that correct choices are made
and good sense prevails. However, things can still go wrong. This
book offers solutions to the problems that may occur along the way.
There are hundreds of different types of dog and each one has its
own character. Because of this, one size does not fit all when
tackling a problem, and different approaches are offered.
Observation, determination and perseverance will usually be
rewarded.

This book looks back to the period 1860 to 1950 in order to grasp
how alternative visions of amity and co-existence were forged
between people of faith, both within and resistant to imperial
contact zones. It argues that networks of faith and friendship
played a vital role in forging new vocabularies of cosmopolitanism
that presaged the post-imperial world of the 1950s. In focussing on
the diverse cosmopolitanisms articulated within liberal
transnational networks of faith it is not intended to reduce or
ignore the centrality of racisms, and especially hegemonic
whiteness, in underpinning the spaces and subjectivities that these
networks formed within and through. Rather, the book explores how
new forms of cosmopolitanism could be articulated despite the
awkward complicities and liminalities inhabited by individuals and
characteristic of cosmopolitan thought zones.
In the Bag! offers a fresh approach to gundog training for
beginners and seasoned trainers alike. It contains sound advice on
the selection of your Labrador Retriever and valuable information
regarding his care and management from puppy to veteran. It gives
step-by-step guidance on his training and how to make smooth
progress towards the finished article: a Labrador that is a
pleasure in the home as well as in the field, and a reliable
shooting companion who puts game in the bag. Margaret Allen has
been successfully training, trialling, breeding and showing
Labradors since 1964. Trying to understand the workings of the
canine mind has always held a fascination for Margaret and she
believes that in order to train your dog successfully, you should
make it your chief objective to find out what makes him tick. In
this book, now in paperback for 2022, you will learn how your dog
thinks, reacts and learns. Our working Labrador has been bred for
generations to retrieve game - it should not, therefore, be hard
work to make him into a Gundog. It should be fun! This book will
help you make it so.

Enter the enchanted land of the Tapestry, an exquisite wall-hanging
fashioned long ago by a master weaver. His creative talent was such
that he gifted his work with real life and it is animated every
night from sun-down to sun-up. What adventures does it see?
Orphaned tragically, a young girl named Selina leaves her home and
travels to serve a noblewoman who has her own sad history. The
rumours say that her husband abandoned her because he could no
longer bear to look at her face which had been disfigured in an
accident and which she now hides behind a veil. Selina only sees a
kindred spirit in the brief flashes of eyes behind the veil and is
willing to obey Lady Isabella. But nothing is ever as it seems and
in a twist of fate, Selina discovers the truth: Lady Isabella's
husband never ran into the night - he was lost to her on her
wedding night as a result of a spell cast by an evil and jealous
sorceress. Only one girl has the power to confront the sorceress
and do battle with her for the release and reclamation of Lady
Isabella's husband, body and soul. Selina, it's time to accept your
destiny.
