In The Cats Of Shambala, actress Tippi Hedren details the often harrowing history of her association with big (and I mean lion and tiger big) cats. From her first meeting with one, to the collection and saving of cats from various untimely fates, to the many trials and disasters endured during the filming of the ill-received movie, ROAR, through her establishment of The Roar Foundation (a permanent preserve out in Acton, California), she weaves an entralling tale of love for these animals. Many of the big cat subjects we meet here take on interesting and colorful personalities. There's more depth to these big cats than in many characters in today's popular novels!... tvrdá väzba, obal, v angličtine, väčší formát, 290 strán, farebná a čiernobiela obrazová príloha

Katalogové číslo: L4556

A Portrait of the World Before the War, 1890-1914. During the fateful quarter century leading up to World War I, the climax of a century of rapid, unprecedented change, a privileged few enjoyed Olympian luxury as the underclass was “heaving in its pain, its power, and its hate.” In The Proud Tower, Barbara W.

Corn flakes for dinner

Spisovatel: Comerford Aidan, Gill books 2017
Katalogové číslo: P874

It was Aidan Comerford's big break! He'd just stepped off stage having been crowned the winner of "So You Think You're Funny" at the Edinburgh Fringe. He returned home elated, only to find out his youngest daughter, who has autism, had gone missing near a lake. This was the moment he realized personal dreams can never take precedence over family; a family struggling through unemployment, money, and - in the midst of it all - two daughters with autism. This book is about what happens when expectations don't meet reality and, dreams crushed, you carry on and discover that even the darkest of clouds can reveal a silver lining regardless... v angličtine, brožovaná, 296 strán

Rumours of War

Spisovatel: Mallinson Allan, Bantam Books 2007
Katalogové číslo: E7412

1826: Napoleon Bonaparte is dead, the Congress of Vienna's work is done, and there is peace in Europe. However, in Portugal there is the scent of civil war in the air following the death of King John VI. Newly returned from India, Matthew Hervey joins a party of officers sent to make an assessment and lend support to the Portuguese queen. His place on the expedition is secured with the help and influence of his new friend, Lady Katherine Greville. But the Peninsula is a place redolent with memories. For it was here as a seventeen-year-old cornet that Hervey had his first taste of military action. The French had forced the British army into a gruelling and ignominious retreat until, under the leadership of Sir John Moore, they made a defiant stand at Corunna. In the epic battle that followed, Hervey and the Sixth Light Dragoons played their part in one of the Napoleonic War's most famous military scenes. As the wave of the French onslaught broke against the solid rock of British resolve, the tide of war was turned once and for all in England's favour. Now, with the Spanish threatening the fortress at Elvas, and as Hervey makes ready for battle once again, the sights and sounds of the Peninsula bring back a flood of memories. But it is not only Spanish aggression and ghosts from his past that Matthew must confront. Lady Katherine has arrived in the Peninsula, and with very determined intentions.... v angličtine, brožovaná, 555 strán
