This first book devoted to Butcher and his photos presents a unique visual chronicle of that epoch, firmly establishing Butcher's place in frontier photography.In a substantial introduction, John E. Carter traces the variegated career of this Virginia-born photographer who was himself an immigrant to the Nebraska plains.

Exploring the nature of Butcher’s works and their scope, content, and significance, Carter offers a perspective for evaluating the historical evidence found in his work and new insights into the evolution of Butcher’s style and subject matter.In this new paperback edition, more than 125 photographs are superbly reproduced in duotone from high-resolution scans of glass negatives. This edition also includes a new afterword by Carter, tracing the fascinating history of the photographs themselves after Butcher sold them to the Nebraska State Historical Society in 1912. Everyone interested in the plains pioneers or historical American photography will prize this splendid book.

Feline Force is a secret organisation helping the police solve crimes which cross the boundary between the human and animal world. Scotland Yard is baffled by just such a crime, but when down-to-earth Detective Sergeant Blunt teams up with Special Agent Rory McTab they are soon hot on the trail. A tabby cat with a taste for adventure, Rory, and an assortment of fur and feather friends, help Blunt track down and arrest the evil smuggler Jasper Quill and his extraordinary gang. A travel writer and broadcaster, John Carter is probably best known as a reporter/presenter on BBC Television’s “Holiday” programme and ITV’s “Wish You Were Here...?” He wrote “Silent Paws” for his twin granddaughters, who were amazed that one of his cats (yes, it was a tabby named Rory) had a habit of making a loud call that sounded remarkably like “Hello”.

Winner of the prestigious Dr. Tony Ryan literary prize, awarded to the author of the best book on any aspect of thoroughbred horse racing. A remarkable and riveting insight into the lives of jockeys. Jockeys who earn a living race riding on racehorses are a incredible group. They are fiercely competitive on the racecourse but enjoy a tribal kinship in the weighing room. The minimum requirements for long-term success are courage, skill, athleticism and an intuitive understanding of how to get a tune out of a horse. This book celebrates these warriors on horseback, both the old and the new, highlighting the headline performers for jump racing and flat racing in the last five centuries male and female and from around the globe - as well as taking the reader on a behind-the-scenes look at the lifestyle of professional jockeys in the 21st century.The book takes a tour of Aintree's weighing room, tracks a day in the life of a Derby-winning jockey and investigates the twin challenges faced by jockeys: inevitable injuries and 24/7 weight management. The book also looks back at historical events where jockeys have made the headlines, including: the scandal of jockey Sam Chifney, Lord Bunbury and the Prince of Wales; Captain Becher and his attempt to negotiate Aintree s formidable fences during the Grand National s inaugural running; Fred Archer, who committed suicide in the mists of mental and physical misery; Red Pollard's partnership with the great American horse, Seabiscuit; Bob Champion, who recovered from cancer to win the Grand National, and Frankie Dettori s magnificent seven wins in one day at Ascot. Dettori is just one of the more recent jockeys featured; others include Lester Piggott, Bill Shoemaker, Scobie Breasley, Julie Krone, John Francome and Tony McCoy. The book features quotes and insights from eminent jockeys and racing insiders, people who know the profession and the sport; and is illustrated with captivating images from the world of horseracing. Foreword by Bob Champion MBE, former jump jockey and Grand National winner.

It started as a Summer job. Nate wasn't even sure how it happened. An emergency trip to the bathroom, a chance encounter, and he was hired. Now he worked for her...Mrs. Mumford, the children's librarian. She was his boss...and a vampire. Nate discovers that things aren't always what they seem to be. People can change (monsters can too). When the Washington Memorial Library, a refuge for reformed monsters and one of Nate's favorite places in the world, is threatened by a vengeful monster hunter, Nate risks everything to be the hero that the library needs him to be. The lines between good and evil blur as Nate, along with his friend, Emily, and the library staff, fights to save his coworkers and their sanctuary. What better place than a library to learn the valuable lesson of never judge a book by its cover? My Boss is a Vampire is only the beginning in the Stories from the Library Series!
