On a crisp October morning in 1996, Emma Milne started her first job as a newly qualified vet, a career captured on camera for eleven series of BBC television's Vets In Practice. Now she tells the full story. We discover the numerous things that can get stuck in an animal's stomach, how to stop a cow exploding, and the biggest truth of all - that animals are easy to deal with in comparison to their owners. They say that truth is stranger than fiction, and these Tales From The Tail End  turn out to be stranger - and funnier - than you can ever have imagined...

Criminal Justice Responses to Maternal Filicide: Judging the Failed Mother

Analysis of criminal cases reveals that women suspected of killing their newborn children are some of the most vulnerable in our society and that infanticide is not just a historical issue but one that has modern implications. While women are less likely to commit violent crime, maternal infant homicide is an enduring form of offending that needs to be understood in a wider social context. 
In Criminal Justice Responses to Maternal Filicide, Milne provides a comprehensive analysis of conviction outcomes through court transcripts of 15 criminal cases in England and Wales during 2010 to 2019. Drawing on feminist theories of responsibilisation and 'gendered harm', she critically reflects on the gendered nature of criminal justice's responses to suspected infanticide. 
This contemporary study makes a novel contribution to the fields of law, criminology and gender studies, arguing that through its inability to recognise the vulnerable position of accused women, and respond accordingly, the application of law reflects wider social judgments of pregnant women and mothers who challenge or fail to fulfil ideals of motherhood.

Misty was ecstatic to see her owner but to the nurse's surprise her owner just stood there and said, "What have you done with my dog’s head?" "I’m sorry," replied the nurse, "what do you mean?

Owning a pet is a big commitment, lasting years. Children and parents often don't think about the practical and financial aspects of pet ownership, such as providing it sufficient housing and protection, paying for vets fees, pet insurance, etc. In a fun and authoritative way, Are Guinea Pigs the Right Pet for You encourages responsible pet ownership from a young age, outlining the needs of guinea pigs and the responsibilities of owners. The reader will be a detective, assigned to investigate and work out whether a guinea pig is right for them based on its needs and, if not, identify what pet is a more appropriate choice. The book includes a virtual pet research section where children are encouraged to live with an imaginary guinea pig with a real pet's needs for a month before acquiring one.
