Winner of the Marsh Book of the Year Award (2015) Throughout
British history rivers have been of profound economic, social and
cultural importance - yet as we see with increasing frequency they
have the potential to wreak great destruction. This book describes
the natural and not-so-natural changes that have affected British
rivers since the last ice age and looks at the many plants and
animals that live along, above and within them. Detailed case
studies of the Meon, Dee and Endrick illustrate the incredibly
varied nature of our river ecosystems, and the natural and human
factors that make each one different. Written by two widely
respected river ecologists, the book looks not only at rivers as
they were and are but also at how they can be managed and cared
for. Full of interesting facts and stunning images, Rivers is
essential reading for anyone professionally involved in rivers and
for the naturalist, conservationist and layman alike. It is the one
book you need to understand this singularly important and often
contentious feature of the British landscape.

Meet the upper-class ladies who ride their horses around the lovely
English countryside. - Eroica Jane Hunter explains... "You get all
that sexy riding gear on and you're half way there. The tight
jodhpurs are already gripping you in some interesting places. Then
you swing your boots over a warm fabulous horse and sit on that
shiny leather saddle. I mean to say, these are all the basics of
naughty porno stuff and dirty movies aren't they? Like... boots,
tight trousers, the smell of leather, do I need to go on? Add a few
straps and buckles plus a whip or two and, hang on, we have whips,
straps and leather in horse riding. Ha Can you blame us girls for
getting a bit hot and damp in the downstairs department with all
that going on?" - Nineteen deeply intimate and sexually adventurous
short stories. Over 200 pages. Domination, submission, threesomes,
ponyplay, sex with the lower classes, father figures, dead husbands

Pinhole and the Expedition to the Jungle is a story that has it
all; plate tectonics, jungle survival and jokes. The
so-small-as-to-be-almost- invisible Pinhole and four ill matched
explorers take on the adventure of their lives in a tropical Indian
forest. They find an outdoor tribe living in a freak geological
fold formed million of years ago by continental drift, and they
help the tribe make friends with an unusual visitor.
Written in Holmes' own inimitable style. Jam packed with
information and laced with stories of naked girls and what they and
the photographers get up to. Holmes talks frankly about his models
in a way that may shock some, yet all the incidents are true. He
talks about money. Where it comes from and where it goes. Who pays
for what. How to get other people's money to send you abroad. How
to find models and how to undress them. He talks of under aged
girls and others who literally get sexually turned on by the
camera. The information just keeps coming. Information that is
designed to help anyone take pictures of pretty girls. Lighting,
posing, equipment, portfolios and much more. This book answers many
of the questions that you need to know before you take your next
set of pictures. 'I've been reading your book in bed and my wife
couldn't understand why I kept shaking. No Not what you think. Just
me trying to hold back the giggles about something you had
written.' P.K. Scotland.
