Books with author Dave Werner

With 3 million copies in print in over 50 languages, Where There Is No Doctor is the most widely used health care manual in use in developing countries today. Using simple language and hundreds of drawings, the book provides information about recognising, treating and preventing common illnesses and injuries. But it is far more than simple first aid information. It covers a wide range of subjects that affect the health of the villager - from diarrhoea to tuberculosis, from helpful and harmful home remedies to the cautious use of certain modern medicines. Special importance is placed on cleanliness, a healthy diet, vaccination, childbirth and family planning. The African edition covers diseases commonly found in Africa.

Charlotte has made it into the prestigious Junior Olympic Equestrian Squad and Leila is having so much fun with Charlotte that she's given up her sparkling Hollywood movie career for now. Charlotte has also made a friend in the new recruit Hannah, but this means she has less time to spend with Leila—and Leila is a horse who doesn't like to be ignored! Things get a whole lot worse when Charlotte returns from an academy to discover that Leila has been sold to a disreputable showman. Charlotte has to get Leila back, and it will take all her courage and brains as well as help from Hannah to rescue her best friend.

When Charlotte’s riding school is sued by one of the Evil Three, there is only one solution: Leila must return to her beloved Hollywood and make a movie to save the academy. But Hollywood has its own problems: snobby stars, rival film-makers, disgruntled employees, and the lure of glamorous parties. While Leila is away, someone kidnaps Sarah-Jane, and no one knows why. Now Charlotte and her friends have to find out before the film is cancelled and the academy is shut down.
