The New Forest (Collins New Naturalist Library, Book 73)
￥476.96
I recall the New Forest in childhood and explored it in the 1950s. It has been my home and I have been involved in its affairs since 1960 when almost by accident I found myself working in the Nature Conservancy (since 1974 the NCC). The Forest has not been my only professional concern or research interest since then, but it has been of constant and absorbing interest. The absorption grows with time – partly because over long time spans, it becomes possible to measure and witness changes which illuminate the relationships between soils, vegetation, animals and management in ways which no short-term study can achieve; and partly because time increases rather than diminishes the degree of spiritual renewal and intellectual wonder to be derived from the familiar woods and heaths.

Care for your Pony (The Official RSPCA Pet Guide)
￥25.21
Owning and caring for a pony can be one of the most rewarding experiences in life. It teaches self-discipline and self-reliance and helps to develop a sense of responsibility in young people. In return for good care, a pony will provide years of pleasure and a wonderful way to get and stay fit.But ponies can be extremely demanding animals in terms of time, land and money. There may seem nothing to match the fervour of a child’s longing for his or her own pony, but if parents do not give the matter careful thought, or if they make a hasty purchase, then they may find out too late that they have created an impossible situation.A pony must have daily attention at regular times not just when its owner finds it convenient. It must have a safe, well-fenced field or paddock, and field shelter if it is to live out all year. The field must be well-drained and preferably large enough to divide into two or three sections to allow for controlled grazing. If the pony is to be stabled during the winter, a loose box of adequate size must be provided, with plenty of bedding, changed daily. The cost of winter feed is another factor to be considered before taking on ownership of a pony, for even hardy ponies which live out all year need supplementary food from late autumn to early summer. There will also be regular blacksmith’s and vet’s bills to be taken into account.

An Agenda for Britain
￥44.24
In The Importance of Being Earnest what Lady Bracknell said of Ernest’s loss of both his parents could also be said about the losing of elections. If the loss of one election is unfortunate, and two careless, then three is reckless, four criminal, and to lose five in succession might well prove fatal. This chapter looks at the reasons for Labour’s losing streak. It considers whether the Party is now so enfeebled that it will be unable to win again, unless it offers an electoral reform which will ensure that it is unlikely ever to form a one-party government again. The promise of electoral reform must be accompanied by the most fundamental changes in the Party’s constitution if Labour is to continue to be a serious political force.
The Mills & Boon Modern Girl’s Guide to:Happy Hour:How to have Fun in Dry Januar
￥51.50
Ada Adverse was brought up in a deeply puritanical household where looking at a cake or using words containing more than one vowel were considered decadences punishable by a night in the coal cellar. But at fifteen she ran away from home and is now the world’s leading authority on Having Fun, which is definitely an actual job, she has ‘Fungineer’ printed on her business cards to prove it, though in retrospect she should have been more clear that this does not mean she specialises in mushrooms. Ada’s hobbies include topiary, mazes, homing pigeons, flea circuses, forming imaginary bands in her head, embalming things, tattoos, pylons, and the films of Billy Wilder. Ada’s dislikes include predatory mcaws, getting out the wrong side of the bed, collections of masks, and porcelain dolls with realistic teeth.

Cat and Kitten Care (Collins Need to Know?)
￥76.91
Cats are now the most popular pets, and it is not surprising that they have overtaken dogs in the popularity stakes. They are small, relatively silent, economical to keep, exercise themselves, easy to feed, and are ideal companions for a wide range of people, from the elderly to those who are out at work all day.Whether you want an ordinary moggie or an expensive pedigree cat, the principles of ownership and looking after them are the same. As an increasing number of owners live in big cities and small, high-rise apartment blocks, house cats are becoming more widespread. Although they may not be allowed outside like their free-roaming, predatory cousins, they share a common ancestry and owning a cat of any description is like having a relatively wild creature living with you in your home. Domestication is anathema to many cats who prefer to think that they are independent animals, under the control of nobody but themselves.
