Diary of a Dog-walker - Edward Stourton - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Diary of a Dog-walker - Edward Stourton - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

‘If you are accompanied by a dog you can talk to anyone, and anyone can talk to you – about anything …’ And they do. Edward Stourton’s walks with, Kudu, his dog, become an opportunity for wonderfully unlikely encounters, and reflecting on the world from the dog-walker’s perspective proves remarkably illuminating. Ed and Kudu’s small trips to the park offer up big insights into romantic attachment, honour and heroism, guilt and depression, our sense of duty, beauty and the hard facts of life’s pecking order. Diary of a Dog-Walker is witty, wise and will be utterly irresistible to any man or woman with a dog.

A Dog Called Demolition - Robert Rankin - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

DANNY: PORTRAIT OF A SURREAL KILLERDanny''s not sad and lonely any more because Danny''s got ''the voices''. Well, one voice. It''s the voice of his dog. Not that it''s a real dog, Danny''s mother would never let him have a real dog, so Danny made up one for himself. And a fine big dog it is too, with a waggy tail and a nice cold nose. Danny was going to call it Princey, but the dog told him its name was Demolition. So that''s what Danny calls it.And the dog''s told him other things too. Like how to adjust the bar-code reader in the shop where Danny works so that he can read the lines on people''s palms and Danny can see what they''re thinking. And which small ads in the comic books to send off to, so Danny can become irresistible to women, bend others to his will, gain vital inches and fear no man living.No, Danny''s not sad and lonely any more. Danny''s barking mad.Robert Rankin has been described variously as ''Funnier than Aleister Crowley, more dangerous than P.G. Wodehouse'' (Cardinal Cox, EP Magazine), ''The drinking man''s H.G. Wells'' (Midweek) and ''An irregular genius'' (David Profumo, The Daily Telegraph). His 13th novel is a nightmare journey to hell and back (with only a brief stop at a Happy Eater to use the toilet). Where Natural Born Killers and Silence of the Lambs merely dipped their toes in terror''s icy water, Rankin boldly takes his lurex sock off and really puts his foot in it.

Walking the Bones of Britain - Christopher Somerville - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

''[Somerville''s] infectious enthusiasm and wry humour infuse his journey from the Isle of Lewis to southern England, revealing our rich geological history with vibrant local and natural history.'' Observer ''An illuminating take on the British landscape ... a remarkable achievement. '' - Tom Chesshyre ''A meticulous exploration of the ground beneath our feet. Glorious.'' Katharine Norbury'' Somerville is a walker''s writer.'' Nicholas Crane ''His writing is utterly enticing.'' Country Walking'' ''The physical book is sumptuous, with helpful supplementary materials including colour photographs, a timeline, maps and walking route resources.'' Times Literary Supplement...........................................................................................................................................................................................................Travelling a thousand miles and across three billion years, Christopher Somerville (walking correspondent of The Times and author of Coast, The January Man and Ships of Heaven) sets out to interrogate the land beneath our feet, and how it has affected every aspect of human history from farming to house construction, the Industrial Revolution to the current climate crisis.In his thousand-mile journey, Somerville follows the story of Britain''s unique geology, travelling from the three billion year old rocks of the Isle of Lewis, formed when the world was still molten, down the map south eastwards across bogs, over peaks and past quarry pits to the furthest corner of Essex where new land is being formed by nature and man.Demystifying the sometimes daunting technicalities of geology with humour and a characteristic lightness of touch, Somerville''s book tells a story of humanity''s reckless exploitation and a lemming-like surge towards self-annihilation but also shows seeds of hope as we learn how we might work with geology to avert a climate catastrophe.It cannot fail to change the way you see the world beyond your door.

Narrow Dog to Indian River - Terry Darlington - Bog - Transworld Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Having survived their voyage to Carcassonne, you might expect pensioners Terry and Monica Darlington and their whippet, Jim, to retire to a comfortable corner of their favourite pub. But no, they looked to the New World for an extraordinary new adventure... No-one had ever sailed an English narrowboat in the US before, for reasons that became abundantly clear during the 9-month voyage of the Phyllis May - including 30-mile sea crossings, blasting heat, tornadoes, hurricanes and all manner of intimidating wildlife. But the real danger came from the locals: the Good Ole Boys and Girls of the Deep South. Colonels, bums, captains, planters, heroes, drunks, gongoozlers, dancing dicks and beautiful spies - they all want to meet the Brits on the narrow painted boat and their thin dog and take them home and party them to death. Beautifully written, lovingly observed, and very funny, Narrow Dog to Indian River takes you on a dangerous, surprising and always entertaining journey as a thousand miles of the little-known South-East Seaboard unfold at six miles an hour- the golden marshes of the Carolinas, the incomparable cities of Charleston and Savannah, and the lost arcadias of Georgia and Florida.

The one spot she had left was supposed to be saved for the man she would marry. Refusing to give up on her number limit, , she goes and tracks down all the men she''s ever slept with. Somewhere amongst them must be The Man, only she didn''t realise it at the time...She embarks on her stalker-like search amongst the twenty former lovers, which involves walking the dog (first having to buy a dog, of course), enrolling in a cookery course, joining a gym, visiting a jail (he gets out in a month - it was worth a shot) and even checking into rehab. And in the end, of course, Delilah comes to realise that numbers don''t matter and that true love comes when you''re open and ready for it.
