‘Heady and rambunctious … Wake up, this book says: in its plot lines, in its humour, in its philosophical underpinnings and political agenda. I'll pay it the highest compliment it knows – this book is a wild thing.’ New York Times Book Review Interlaken, Berne, 21st century. Several things happen after the car hits the rock. Tiff ceases to be pregnant. Stephen captures, like, the most wonderful bird – fleet, stealthy, and beautiful – a real “lifer”. And the wallcreeper, the wallcreeper says “twee”. The Wallcreeper is nothing more than a portrait of marriage, complete with all its requisite highs and lows: drugs, dubstep, small chores, anal sex, eco-terrorism, birding, breeding and feeding.
Tales from a Young Vet: Mad cows, crazy kittens, and all creatures big and small
Tales from a Young Vet: Mad cows, crazy kittens, and all creatures big and small
Jo Hardy,Caro Handley
¥61.51
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.

Henri is quite accustomed to dangerous and unusual cases landing in his lap. Being partnered to the Shinigami Detective likely has something to do with it. What he is NOT accustomed to is the queen herself marching into his lab and handing them such a case. Former Royal Mage Joseph Burtchell was found dead in his home, all signs pointing to murder. However, it’s in question as to how the murderer accomplished the deed—the house was locked, the wards fully up, and the body bearing a peculiar wound.

Az ember egyik legnagyobb kincse az emlékezés. Egy olyan nyugdíjas korú írogatónak pedig, mint a k?nyv szerz?je, már rengeteg kincs van a birtokában, hiszen alig van a jelennek olyan eseménye, amely ne juttatná eszébe a múltat. Olyan múltat, amelyet meg lehet osztani az olvasóval. A múltat el?hívó esemény lehet akár egy jégcsap megpillantása, vagy egy hír valamely disznótorról, vagy akár az unoka meseigénye, mosolya. Lehet egy szilveszteri hangulat, vagy egy a padon ül? hajléktalan, s?t, akár egy a forgalmas járdán sürg?l?d? énekesmadár, vagy egy korsóból a f?ldre l?ttyintett víz, szóval bármi, amely megragadja a figyelmet. Mindegyikük emlékeket, gondolatokat ébresztett a szerz?ben, és ezzel t?rténeteket szült. A k?nyvben t?bb t?rténet szerepel. Olyan t?rténetek, amelyek nemcsak a szerz?nek, de bárkinek segíthetnek a jelen gondjai, nehézségei k?nnyebb elviselésében. A t?rténetek ugyanis szerteágazóak, így bárki találhat k?z?ttük a gondjait (még, ha r?vid id?re is, de) elfeledtet? olvasnivalót. A gondolatok persze néha magvasak, nehezebben emészthet?k, a legt?bbsz?r viszont meseszer?ek, adomázóak, k?nnyen elsajátíthatók. ?ppen olyan változatosak, mint maga az élet, hiszen ki ne várná izgatottan az ismeretlent, a holnapot, a j?v?t, amely mindig hozhat valami újat, váratlant, és amely mindig el tud varázsolni bennünket.
