Paperback. Condition: Very Good. People are living longer than ever before. Medical science, reduced risk of injury and improved technology mean that many will live to see their 80s, 90s and even 100s. But, while we are living longer lives, are we living better lives? Despite improved longevity, many people experience a significant reduction in quality of life as they age - many spend their golden years virtual prisoners in their own homes due to physical and mental incapacity. This is especially sad considering that many aspects of both physical and mental decline can be delayed if not almost completely avoided. Live Long, Live Strong is a guide to combining sensible exercise for both your body and mind with a nutritional plan designed to address many of the conditions that commonly plague older people. It also includes information on improving brain power and minimizing your risk of suffering a fall - one of the leading causes of becoming housebound. This comprehensive book addresses all aspects of mature health so that readers will be able to take on Old Father Time and give him a run for his money!

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Author Bill Neal has weeded through the Latin words that describe and distinguish plants and flowers and compiled a single volume of select definitions and gardening lore. Narcissus bulbocodium or Narcissus cyclamineus? Isabellinus, iadinus, ianthinus? Basilaris or basilicus? Today's gardeners encounter Latin terms like these whenever they enter garden centres or pick up mail-order catalogues. They must still, of course, decide whether dahlias or peonies will best complete that floral border. But new questions in an increasingly technical vocabulary are sprouting up among perennial concerns and demanding attention from devoted gardeners. As Latin terms appear with increasing frequency in garden centres and on the pages of gardening catalogues, we need such brief, clear definitions for the finite number of Latin terms that combine to form the names of a seemingly infinite number of plant species. Equally welcome are the little-known horticultural facts and fables which fill the broad margins of every page. Gardener's Latin is a book for the gardener who needs to know that a plant with isabellinus (tawing yellow) on its nursery tag might not belong in a carefully planned ianthinus (violet-blue) border. Or that the ostensibly similar basilaris and basilicus mean 'base' and 'royal', respectively. Bill Neal leads us down the path from abbreviatus to zonatus, turning aside here and there along the way for glimpses at gardens and gardeners from Virgil to Vita Sackville-West, from Gertrude Jekyll to Gertrude Stein. Patches of garden lore and literature are scattered throughout the beds of definition: why Narcissus cyclamineus is a horticultural joke; why basil is the herb of dread and suspicion; why Cleopatra's asp arrives in a basket of figs whenever Antony and Cleopatra is performed. Whether it's dahlias or peonies that will best complete a garden, Gardener's Latin is the book to complete any gardener's bookshelf. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This title enables beginning and advanced writers alike. The art of plot development has become synonymous with having a single great idea and the pressure upon the writer to achieve this frequently causes both trepidation and a feeling of futility. The purpose of this book is to give hope and encouragement to every author by demonstrating how plot is, in reality, an amalgamation of many ideas or elements of writing, including characterization, suspense and conflict amongst others. Deftly analysing the elements of classic storytelling, The Plot Thickens enables both beginning and advanced writers to consider how these elements can combine - in many previously unimagined ways - to produce the kind of plot that will make their work transcendent. No longer will the construction of the winning plot prove an insurmountable target. Driven by the requirements of publisher and film-maker, the author may feel that concept is all-important but, based upon his wide experience of fiction of all kinds, Noah Lukeman brilliantly shows that this is not so and thereby brings not only encouragement but also immensely practical advice which every author will welcome. Writers will find it impossible to walk away from this invaluable guide without having boundless new ideas. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condition: Fine. When Horse Law was first published in 1990, its original purpose was to provide a simple guide to the law for the horse owner as well as providing an initial reference book for solicitors or barristers who found themselves involved in cases concerning horses. The legal profession has changed considerably in the last 10 years; the trend is towards specialization and consequently there are a growing number of equine-law specialists. This comprehensive, updated and expanded edition is still a pertinent initial reference book for lawyers and covers a wide range of areas which can affect the horse world including: theft; buying and selling; negligence; the Animals Act 1971; rights of way for riders; keeping a horse, road traffic; protection of animals from cruelty: gaming and betting and the rules and regulations of the various equine disciplines. Horse Law does, however, remain sufficiently readable for the non-lawyer to find helpful. It is an invaluable and essential book, not only for the legal profession, but also other professionals involved in, or connected with horses whether students, instructors, veterinary surgeons, transporters or farriers.
