The classic wildlife gardeners guide  |
This book has been a good family friend since 1986 and the information it contains has continued to serve us well in makeing our garden wildlife friendly. Now a qualified ecologist, advising people on the management of their wildlife patches, wildflower meadows and ponds, I still refer to this text for tips and advice, in fact it is looking extremely well thumbed!The book looks at different garden habitats individually and is written in a very reader friendly style which makes it just as much a bedside table book as a quick reference. I would recommend it to anyone who wishes to improve the wildlife prospects of their garden whether new to the idea or a well weathered naturalist.

East meets West on the Patpong Road  |
« Hello my Big Big Honey » seeks to shed light on the mystery of the « romantic » relationships which can spring up between Bangkoks bar girls and their farang (foreign) sex-tourist customers, sometimes even leading to marriage. For me, however, the letters at the centre of this book were paradoxically the least interesting part of it. Unwittingly amusing at times, but flat and repetitive with their endless mantra of « I love you, I miss you, heres the money/sorry I cant send you any money », the missives from the deluded and besotted farangs to the girls they left behind quickly blend into one. The depth of their delusion becomes clear from the interviews with the girls. Money is the motor for these largely uneducated women from poor rural backgrounds who often have parents and siblings to support - and sometimes a Thai husband as well. The phenomenon they describe is fascinating, however, and the sections surrounding the letters make the book well worth reading. Walkers preface gives the background to the bar culture, Ehrlichs raunchy introduction sets the scene and Dr Yos Santasombat from Bangkok University analyses the sociological differences between prostitution east and west. The book concludes with a set of revealing interviews with bar owners (including some rather unorthodox advice on avoiding disease!) and an epilogue by Mrs Tantrakul, translator of many letters, and unofficial advisor to the girls who ponders on the future of those who do marry and leave.

This book is an invaluable Accompaniment for all Golfers  |
|
This golf log & diary is an excellent find, and a must-have for all those participating in the sport. As a keen golfer, I was recommended the 2004 edition by a friend and have since bought 12 copies, as it is also the answer to all my Christmas-present problems!! Particularly love the brilliant and inspiring golf tips from all the experts-drills which will really help you improve your game, Top 100 Courses Guide, PGA Tour Schedule, and all the other extras. I would recommend this Golf Log & Diary to every golfer on the planet. Brilliant value for money.
