Originally published in 1979 International Trade in Wildlife is a
product of the 1973 Convention on International Trade in Endangered
Species of Wild Fauna and Flora conference, containing the full
text of the CITIES convention. The volume outlines the animals and
plants controlled by CITIES, and describes the protective policies
put in place to protect endangered plants and animals. It gives a
detailed background to the international traffic in monkey's,
spotted cats, whales, ivory, parrots, tortoises, marine turtles,
crocodiles, butterflies, sponges and rare orchids at the time of
publication and acts as a comprehensive document on the
conservation policies enacted through CITIES, as well as facts
surrounding the decline of endangered species. Although published
over 40 years ago, the document still offers a comprehensive and
useful guide to conservation and will be an important historical
document for environmental policy makers and conservationists
alike.

Everyone has a story to tell and can feel trapped by it. This
inspirational memoir, A Sense of Something Lost is about liberation
after years of restlessness and searching. Sue Wells, asks: can a
woman who has experienced the trauma of a forced adoption be free
to live her life? Do traumas, whatever their nature, shape, define
or ruin our lives? Or encourage us to see that our greatest
challenges are also keys to the freedom we seek, enabling us to
find who we are beyond our personal story? For anyone trapped by
their story, this is a radical way of finding freedom through
ancient Eastern mysticism by realising what can never be lost.
