Yardley has created a remarkable history of clay pigeon shooting. His work starts with the very first competitive shoots using live pigeons, and then it tracks the development of the glass ball target, the rise of the great trick shooters such as Annie Oakley, the birth of the Olympics, the history of the royal family and clay pigeons, and the use of clay pigeons by Second World War fighter pilots to hone their skills in knocking down moving targets. It's more than just a history of a sport from its very beginning to right up to the modern day. It's a tale of a civilization and how society has treated its best shooters. We see that in the late nineteenth century clay pigeon shooters were the most highly regarded sportsmen of all; then there were decades when the sport was ignored; and now, today, shooting stands on the cusp of a staggering new popularity. It's not just a good history; it's a great read. Includes profiles of Bogardus, Carver, Annie Oakley, and many of the early luminaries of live pigeon and target shooting.

Hong Kong - Where East Meets West and Neither Gets Enough Sleep. Absolutely Fabulous goes Zen - Set in Hong Kong, FallGirl is the new political thriller written by international attorney Elizabeth Botsford. FallGirl is a zany romp through the last days of the British Empire. 
Set in Hong Kong at the height of the 1980's, FallGirl follows the adventures of Zoe Carmichael, a former financial trader, who has broken the rules. She's on the run from the police and turns to a mysterious Buddhist cult called the Fellowship for help. Before long she's embroiled in their plans to retain control of Hong Kong after the Communist takeover. On the way she meets a Brazilian samba partner and an elderly stateswoman to serve up tea and intrigue. Eventually, Zoe realizes she must stop being a FallGirl in other people's schemes, and find the strength to be her own hero. 
The humor is pure Brit chic, the plot is Dickens on speed - Recommended for adventurers (armchair or otherwise) who like international affairs with a twist of comedy and a hint of Oriental spice. FallGirl is ideal airplane or vacation reading material for the rebel in you. For anyone who's been to Hong Kong, plans to visit, or just dreams, FallGirl will give you a real education about the political, cultural, social and financial life of Hong Kong.
