At last, a reference book about the lighting of poultry! This is the first book to be dedicated to the lighting of poultry, and, as the title suggests, is written in two sections. The first is fully referenced and covers the science that underpins the lighting of poultry, with chapters describing the physics of light, the physiology and mechanisms by which poultry react to light, and the responses of all classes of poultry to conventional and unconventional photoperiods, light intensity, light colour, light source, and the pathological and behavioural consequences of extremes of illumination. The second section describes the practical approach to lighting for growing pullets, laying hens, broiler breeders, broilers, breeding and growing turkeys, ducks, and geese, and is written in a user-friendly style.

The remarkable story of a man destined for political greatness until an FBI sting killed his career... and then he picked himself back up. For more than half a century, Gordon Walgren, lawyer, legislator and lobbyist, has been a major player in Kitsap County politics. At 25, he won election as county prosecutor. It looked as though his political future was dead after he lost a notorious case. It didn't help that he was romantically involved with the accused's mistress. Then opportunity knocked and Walgren quickly re-climbed the political ladder. By 1975 he was Senate majority leader. Five years later, he was clearly ticketed for statewide office, attorney general and then, who knows? It all came undone as a result of Gamscam, an FBI sting that ensnared Walgren, the speaker of the house and a lobbyist. Charged with racketeering, the three were accused of conspiring with men they believed were mobsters to loosen state gambling laws. They did it for a piece of the profits, the government said. The case against Walgren was the thinnest, but a jury convicted him along with the others. He spent two years in a federal prison. He never admitted guilt and never stopped fighting to clear his name. On his release, he successfully petitioned to win back his law license, to overturn all but one conviction and to rebuild his reputation. "For the first time, former state Senate majority leader Gordon Walgren details the extraordinary FBI zeal in fabricating the "sting" that sent him to prison and ended his promising political career. It is a tale of conviction, courage and redemption." -Ronald Bright, retired special agent, US Naval Criminal Investigative Service

Idiomantics is a unique exploration of the world of idiomatic phrases. The very etymology of the word 'idiom' reveals what's so endlessly fascinating about the wide range of colourful phrases we use in everyday speech: their peculiarity. They're peculiar both in the sense of being particular or unique to the culture from which they originate, and in the sense of being downright odd.   To cite three random examples - from American English, Dutch and Italian - what on Earth are a snow job, a monkey sandwich story, and Mr Punch's secret? Fascinating and illuminating, Idiomantics explains all...  The ideal gift for word buffs and in fact, anyone who enjoys a good yarn, this playful book looks at 12 groups of idioms around the world, looking at subjects such as fun and games, gastronomic delights and the daily grind.
