My Animals and Other Family - Clare Balding
My Animals and Other Family by Clare Balding is a funny, brave, tender story of self-discovery I had spent most of my childhood thinking I was a dog, and suspect I had aged in dog years. Clare Balding grew up in a rather unusual household. Her father a champion trainer, she shared her life with more than 100 thoroughbred racehorses, mares, foals and ponies, as well as an ever-present pack of boxers and lurchers. As a toddler she would happily ride the legendary Mill Reef and take breakfast with the Queen.She and her younger brother came very low down the pecking order. Left to their own devices, they had to learn life s toughest lessons through the animals, and through their adventures in the stables and the idyllic Hampshire Downs. From the protective Candy to the pot-bellied Valkyrie and the frisky Hattie, each horse and each dog had their own character and their own special part to play.The running family joke was that women ain t people . Clare had to prove them wrong, to make her voice heard - but first she had to make sure she had something to say. Moving, funny and larger than life Michael Morpurgo Magical, enchanting, riotously eccentric Daily Mail Funny and unexpectedly wise. Balding has lots of good stories to tell. It is impossible not to admire her honesty Mail on Sunday The reading equivalent of snuggling by the fire with a labrador The Guardian

Isle of Wight (Slow Travel) - Mark Rowe
This brand-new guide to the Isle of Wight forms part of Bradt s top-selling, award-winning series of Slow travel guides to UK regions. Written by expert author and journalist Mark Rowe, who has visited the island over 30 times since first spending childhood holidays there, it is the perfect companion to help you get the most out of your visit, replete with not just all the practical information you could need, but also all the descriptive detail, anecdote and insider tips to make time spent there truly enjoyable and memorable.The Isle of Wight is an island that is astonishingly - and unexpectedly - rich in food producers, wildlife, natural beauty, history, archaeology and dramatic landscapes. This is all the more remarkable for it being so close to the densely populated southern edges of England. At just 25 miles x 13 miles, in no other equivalent-sized area of Britain is there such a variety of landscapes (downland, estuaries, hills, saltmarshes, meadows, riverine, beach) or such a concentration of food producers (50+ independents at the last count). Here there is a real Island culture, a creative spirit that is quite quirky and independent.Bradt s Isle of Wight includes where to go to see red squirrels, where to hire e-bikes, where to go foraging and where is best for families. It also covers historic and present quirks, curiosities and attractions, including Jimi Hendrix s unusual love affair with the island, a day in the life of a ferry master, tree climbing, World War II history, night-time wildlife, the annual walk at low tide to explore the wildlife underneath Ryde s grand Victorian pier, the island s award-winning wines and its dinosaur fossil-rich beaches - of which it has more than anywhere else in the UK!With 20 maps, including regional, walking and cycling maps, you ll be well placed to navigate your way from one point of interest to another. Whatever your interest, Bradt s Isle of Wight will help you to plan and enjoy a visit to remember.

It also sits right at the entrance to the important Southampton and Portsmouth docks and because of this, there are a number of impressive castles and fortifications located on the island, including Carisbrooke Castle. Throughout history, the importance of the Isle of Wight has been recognised by invaders, and the island was attacked by the Vikings, the Normans, the French and most recently the Germans during the Second World War. Cowes was the home of Saunders-Roe, the military aircraft and vehicle manufacturer and in the Cold War, the Needles Battery was the testing site for Britainâ ™s Blue Streak nuclear deterrent missile.This book will be of interest to all those who would like to know more about the Isle of Wightâ ™s remarkable military history.

Isle of Man Steam Packet in the Second World War - Matthew Richardson
Names like Ben-My-Chree, Tynwald and Lady of Mann are synonymous with the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company, the worldâ ™s oldest shipping line that is still in existence. In its long history, there can have been no greater test of the companyâ ™s ships or its men than the Second World War. As well as maintaining a crucial link to the Isle of Man (in spite of U-boats and mines), the vessels and their compliments saw vital service as troop carriers at Dunkirk, on D-Day and elsewhere. For the first time, this book explores what it was really like to crew these ships, often under fire, and frequently in danger. Using previously unreleased archive material, and sometimes forgotten personal accounts, this book weaves a gripping narrative of what was arguably the Isle of Manâ ™s greatest contribution to victory in the Second World War â “ its fleet.

Selected Poetry of John Clare - John Clare
This is the first selection of the great Romantic peasant poet John Clare to make available the full range of his accomplishment - as the chronicler of nature and childhood, the champion of folkways in the face of enclosure and oppression, the love poet, the political satirist and solitary visionary, confined in his maturity to lunatic asylums. Clare grabs hold of you - no, he doesn t grab hold of you, he is already there, talking to you before you ve arrived on the scene, telling you about himself, about the things that are closest and dearest to him, and it would no more occur to him to do otherwise than it would occur to Whitman to stop singing you his song of himself. John Ashbery It is what Lawrence calls the poetry of the living present. Seamus Heaney

A-Z of the Isle of Anglesey - Warren Kovach
The island of Anglesey, off the north-west coast of Wales, has a long and fascinating history. Its ancient and complex geology has created a special habitat for wildlife and it has also been a heartland for Welsh culture from the time of the Iron Age Druids to the present day. More recently, it is the site of the spectacular structures built during the Industrial Revolution to link Anglesey to the mainland: Telfordâ ™s Menai Suspension Bridge and Robert Stephensonâ ™s Britannia Bridge.In this book author Warren Kovach picks out the places and people that make Anglesey special, from churches, chapels and lighthouses, which are of particular importance on the island, to large landowning families such as the Bulkeleys and prominent individuals such as Christmas Evans and Kyffin Williams. The richness of the natural world on the island is addressed, as is the economy and social structures such as fairs and markets, industry and transport.Aâ “Z of the Isle of Anglesey reveals the stories behind the island, its places and people. A broad picture of Angleseyâ ™s history through the ages is painted and it brings to life the story of how the island of today was shaped. This fascinating Aâ “Z tour is fully illustrated with photography and will appeal to all those with an interest in this distinctive island.

The Railways of the Isle of Sheppey - Graeme Gleaves
The Isle of Sheppey sits just off the north coast of Kent, where the Medway and Thames estuaries flow into the North Sea. Over centuries this was a place that was home to farmland, castles, a dock yard, an air station, industrial instalations, calm beaches and a population of islanders who have taken a pride in their home. To serve the needs of all of this a small railway network was built up and even an urban tram network. Included in this was a fixed link that was the first to ever link the island to the mainland. From 1860 the network grew as the importance of the island grew. Continental boat passengers, dockyard workmen and day trippers, they were all caried on the trains and trams that shuttled about to, from and across the flat terrain of this often overlooked island. Being an island can create its own unique set of challenges and the railways on the island were certainly challenged by missfortune and circumstances, but the little network kept going until economics got the better of it and from there on it becomes a story of contractions and closure. The Island can still boast a railway today but it is far removed from the story of its past. This work seeks to tell the story of the railways on the island, how they came to be built, how they were run and how times changed over the following decades.

Upgrading the Isle of Wight
In 2019 it was announced that the Isle of Wightâ ™s iconic 1938 Stock tube trains were to be withdrawn and replaced with a â ˜newâ ™ fleet of refurbished ex-London Underground trains, as part of a wider project to upgrade the Islandâ ™s ageing railway infrastructure. This book examines in detail the events that followed: the infrastructure works, the withdrawal and disposal of the old trains, and the development and introduction of their replacements â “ all of it carried out in the midst of a global pandemic. What went wrong, and what went right? What would happen to the 1938 Stock? And would the new trains even fit through Ryde Tunnelâ ¦?In writing this book the author has been able to draw upon unique insights provided by some of the key figures involved in the Island Line upgrade, as well as by the current owners of many of the withdrawn 1938 Stock units.

Walter Chandoha. Dogs. Photographs 1941â
The world appears to be divided into cat and dog lovers, but fortunately Walter Chandoha, the 20th centuryâ ™s greatest pet photographer found himself happily in the middle. He loved these intriguing creatures equally for their unique beauty and individualism, and as subjects to photograph in a career spanning over 70 years. While working on his critically acclaimed TASCHEN book Cats, Chandoha handpicked his favorite dog photos for a potential follow-up title, putting into carefully marked boxes hundreds of contact sheets, prints, and color transparencies. Chandoha sadly passed away in 2019 at the age of 98, but his legacy lives on in this dashing sequel dedicated to manâ ™s best friend. â œWalter Chandohaâ ™s photographs of dogs are compelling not just because dogs have an inherent charm, but because the person behind the camera was a master of his craft,â writes the photography critic Jean Dykstra in the bookâ ™s introduction. We see terriers, collies, beagles, bloodhounds, poodles, small dogs, big dogs, show dogs, working dogs, and many more, featuring over 60 breeds photographed in both black-and-white and glorious Kodachrome.Spanning a 50-year period, the book is divided into six sections, and each chapter reveals Chandohaâ ™s exceptional combination of technique, versatility, and soul. The opening chapter â œIn the Studioâ focuses on formal portraiture; next itâ ™s â œStrike a Poseâ where our canine companions ham it up for the camera; in â œOut and Aboutâ they get to roam and play, often photographed with Chandohaâ ™s own children; next itâ ™s â œBest in Showâ with Chandoha using his reportage skills to capture vintage dog shows from the Mad Men era; in â œTails from the City,â the dogs are hitting the streets of mid-century New York; and in the closing chapter â œCountry Dogs,â itâ ™s back to nature, the fields, and the beaches. Dogs is an unleashed photographic tribute to these lovable and loyal creatures.
