The aim of this book is to achieve a better understanding of partridge ecology, and thereby to promote methods of conservation which could arrest the enormous tide of decline with regard to this species. Until the 1960s the partridge was a very common bird in many countries - each Autumn there was a total of over 120 million, almost all of which were to be found on farmland. In this book the reasons for the decline are examined in detail and the major cause is found to be pesticides, in particular the use of herbicides and insecticides which has reduced the supply of insect food available for the partridge chicks. Methods of restricting pesticide use dealt with in the book give a clear prospect of more partridges, more wildlife, little hindrance to farmers in the short term and additional benefits to the environment in the long term. Of interest to ecologists, game conservationists and naturalists, the book is also of interest to those engaged in agricultural practices and to countrysi

When Tzu Hang, a 46-foot ketch, set sail from Melbourne in December 1956 bound for England, Miles and Beryl Smeeton, their Siamese cat, Pwe, and their friend, John Guzzwell, had little concept of the challenges or the terrors that awaited them. At that time very few small sailboats had successfully rounded Cape Horn, and none had sailed as far south as Tzu Hang - just north of the Antarctic iceberg limit.

Literature & Fiction

LAST VOYAGE is the enthralling true story of Frank and Ann Davison; of their search for a life of freedom and adventures that was to end so tragically.
 Frank and Ann Davison were both joyride pilots when they met, fell in love and married. They pursued various ventures bebore buying an island in Loch Lomond, where they reared geese and goats. Their apparently idyllic lifestyle turned sour, so they bought an old and dilapidated fishing ketch, RELIANCE, in which they planned to voyage to the far corners of the world. But the Herculean task of conversion stretched their finances too far: their funds were exhausted and the mortgages foreclosed. In desperation they put to sea, hoping to gain a respite abroad; but it was not to be. Gales, exhaustion and disaster befell them until they finally, hurled against the rocks of Portland Bill, they were forced to abandon ship, with disastrous consequences.
 LAST VOYAGE is a graphic and harrowing story of tragedy. It is also a tale of immense courage and triumph over adversity, told with unforgettable and compelling skill.
