Paperback
Author: Vicki Myron
In Stock: 1
On the coldest morning of the year, Vicki Myron found a tiny, bedraggled kitten almost frozen to death in the night drop box of the library where she worked. Her life and the town of Spencer, Iowa would never be the same.
Vicki was a single mother who had survived the loss of her family farm and an alcoholic, abusive husband. But her biggest challenge as the new head librarian in Spencer was to raise the spirits of a small, out-of-the-way town mired deep in the farm crisis of the 1980s.
Dewey, as the townspeople named the kitten, quickly grew into a strutting, adorable library cat whose antics kept patrons in stitches, and whose sixth sense about those in need created hundreds of deep and loving friendships. As his fame grew, people drove hundreds of miles to meet Dewey, and people all over the world fell in love with him. Through it all, Dewey remained a loyal companion, a beacon of hope not just for Vicki, but for the entire town ... more

Author: Yann Arthus-Bertrand (photos) & Jean-Louis Gouraud
In Stock: 1
Yann Arthus-Bertrand is the renowned photographer of The Earth from the Air, but he does not spend his entire life revealing the world from above. In the 1990s he began to photograph animals in the same way that fashion photographers take pictures of their models – as studio shots, paying immense attention to lighting and detail.

The fruits of a fifteen year labour of love, these photographs show horses and their owners in some of the most stunning and far-flung parts of the world, from France to Peru, from Morocco to Mongolia.

Photographing horses can be a tricky affair: their essence and true beauty is ultimately revealed when they move, not when they are posed in a photographer’s studio. It is a testament to Arthus-Bertrand’s skill that he is able to surmount this hurdle and eloquently portray horses as they are – their strength, their impetuous vitality, even their spirituality.

As well as celebrating the beauty ... more

The extraordinary -- and true -- story of a cat with a remarkable gift.In the summer of 2007 Oscar the cat made headlines around the world. Why? Because he knows when the patients in the Rhode Island hospice where he lives are going to die.

Dr David Dosa's job is to respond to people's medical needs, treat them for their ailments and communicate with their families. Oscar takes care of the rest.

Is he helping guide souls to heaven? Oscar's warm and profound story is heartfelt, sometimes even funny, but always inspiring.

Marley and Me : Life and love with the world's worst dog order quantity

Paperback
Author: John Grogan

John and Jenny were just beginning their life together. They were young and in love, with a perfect little house and not a care in the world. Then they brought home Marley, a wiggly yellow fur ball of a puppy. Life would never be the same.

Marley quickly grew into a barrelling, ninety-seven-pound steamroller of a Labrador retriever, a dog like no other. He crashed through screen doors, gouged through drywall, flung drool on guests, stole women’s undergarments, and ate nearly everything he could get his mouth around, including couches and fine jewellery. Obedience school did no good — Marley was expelled.

And yet Marley’s heart was pure. Just as he joyfully refused any limits on his behaviour, his love and loyalty were boundless, too. Marley shared the couple’s joy at their first pregnancy, and their heartbreak over the miscarriage. Unconditional love, they would learn, comes in many forms.

Author: Michael Trotter

Throughout the world, one breed of farm animal becomes extinct every month. This book outlines the history of the breeds of heritage livestock that were brought into, or developed in, New Zealand before 1950.
Modern factory-farming methods rely on only a few breeds of livestock, and differentiated breeds are disappearing at an alarming rate; and it's up to dedicated conservators to save them. The call to conserve rare breeds, and therefore biodiversity, is now all the more important. Rare breeds: preserve living remnants of our distant past; biodiversity - if disease or genetic malady should strike common domestic breeds, then hardy, heritage breeds could take up the slack; Some livestock and poultry breeds are best-suited to specific environments and needs. Rare breeds are of interest to owners of boutique farms and lifestyle blocks, and those who value New Zealand's agricultural history and the importance of biodiversity. Breeds ... more
