1.Vegetable and Herb Expert by: D.G. Hessayon April 07, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £7.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £5.06 You Save: £2.93 (37%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £2.00
Too many gardening authors take time out to wax lyrical about seasons and the joys of blackbirds and dew on your runner canes. Their books end up as a decent afternoon's read, but difficult to use when you're trying to work out what's going wrong with your kohlrabi. This book is different. Veg are listed alphabetically with clear sections on selecting varieties, planting, looking after, harvesting and cooking, with a troubleshooting guide covering disease, pests, storage and the like. No nonsense, everything you need and easy to find.

2.Principles of Horticulture by: Adams August 11, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £19.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £16.99 You Save: £3.00 (15%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £16.20
This new edition of a core text for students of horticulture is welcomed. The addition of colour plates is helpful and the layout has generally improved. I think the book does a difficult job well as the subject is huge and it must be very difficult to decide what to leave out and how much depth to go to. I'm hoping it will help me with the RHS Advanced Cerificate exam.

3.Keeping Pet Chickens by: Johannes Paul, William Windham April 01, 2005
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £5.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £3.94 You Save: £2.05 (34%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £2.69
This is a lovely little book full of nice colour pictures. If you are completely brand new to chicken keeping this book is a good starter for you - it was to me! You'll soon find though that you'll be looking for one with a bit more detail and specific information.

4.Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan by: Jim Peltier Milo April 01, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £12.00 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £8.40 You Save: £3.60 (30%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £4.45
For those who want to expand their knowledge and abilities with dog leadership skills this book provides valuable tools for achieving that goal. Every episode from Cesar Millan's first 3 series of 'The Dog Whisperer' is reviewed and analysed. This in depth analysis helps to make very real the method which Cesar uses. Unlike 'dog training' Cesar and others who follow the 'pack system' focus on creating harmony and balance in our dogs. We use our dog's natural and hard wired instincts to create change which allow them to 'be themselves'. This method helps to meet our dogs needs rather than us just getting our needs met when we get love and affection from our dogs. This book allows us to get a much deeper understanding of ...

5.The Biodynamic Sowing and Planting Calendar 2009 by: Maria Thun, Matthias K. Thun September 25, 2008

not only will this help you to grow healthier, tastier and stonger fruit, veg and house plants, but once you get the hang of it you can generally predict the weather better than the BBC. Its been spot on for my last 2 holidays in Cornwall and it gets Glastonbury festival right every year.

6.The Dog Listener by: Jan Fennell October 07, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £8.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £5.99 You Save: £3.00 (33%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £2.10
This is excellent and I would very highly recommended it. Having three Border Collies (two of them rescues with various problems), life could be difficult at times, to say the least. Jan Fennell's approach has been virtually foolproof for us, and in the end we were the ones needing training! If you follow her instructions consistently (and forever), pretty much any unwanted behaviour can be sorted out. I also highly recommend Turid Rugaas' 'On talking terms with dogs - calming signals'; it's an invaluable aid and accompaniment to The Dog Listener.

7.Collins Complete Guide to British Trees: A Photographic Guide to Every Common Species (Complete British Guides) by: Paul Sterry April 07, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £15.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £8.57 You Save: £7.42 (46%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £9.15
This book is fascinating for any tree enthusiast. It is the perfect tool you can use to identify different tree types. The writing style is concise and in-depth. A sheer masterpiece. Picture quality is high definition. Images are portrayed in vivid detail. This book is fantastic. If you are even slightly interested in trees or want to expand your knowledge of trees buy this book.

8.Keeping Chickens: The Essential Guide to Enjoying and Getting the Best from Chickens by: Jeremy Hobson, Celia Lewis April 27, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £12.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £7.99 You Save: £5.00 (38%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £7.19
Nice book with lots of photos. Unfortunately the much of the information with regard to photos did not mention the breed of birds shown. I would have liked to have more detail in the captions. Some of the specific breeds mentioned had no photo at all. I wasn't interested in the chapter on crafts. My husband preferred this book to "The Right Way to Keep Chickens" by Virginia Shirt because it was easier to absorb and photo's are much better than drawings. He said it was a good book, I am hard to please!

9.Trees (Collins GEM) by: Alastair Fitter August 02, 2004
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £4.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £2.99 You Save: £2.00 (40%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £1.06
this book is exactly what you would expect from a little Collin's gem, it has good material through out, and a pretty good selection of the most common trees....but, i would have preferred to see real photographs rather than artists drawings, which, sometimes are not as good a reference as an image of the real thing. Furthermore i would have liked to see bigger images of the type of bark from each tree since half the year the trees have no leaves, and the bark, leafless shape, and habitat is all you have to go on. this is however a good introduction read for summer time tree hunting, wouldn't recommend it for winter though. if you are up for a better book i recommend:- Collins Complete Guide to British Trees: A Photographic Guide ...

10.Don't Shoot the Dog!: The New Art of Teaching and Training by: Karen Pryor 2002-03

Similar to Dr Breach, I came to this book through Amy Sutherlands book (having read her article "What Shamu taught me... [etc]"), but what I was looking for in Amy's book was not there - it was here in "Don't Shoot the Dog" - and I can't agree more with Dr Bream. "Don't Shoot the Dog" is in my top 10 books I have read of all time. I have trained and taught all my life, and every page of this book has been an epiphany for me. I have learnt what it is about my teaching/training methods (that others say is my natural ability) that work so well, and I have been able to refine what I do. Rather than specific solutions, this provides the formula through which you can come up with each and every one of your own solutions, tailor-made to that ... Read More:
