Peter Wright Book order

Channel 5's television vet Peter Wright from Yorkshire has a call to visit a poorly cow. When he arrives Sue the cow gives him a hard time but all is well, except for Peter!

The nation's best-loved vet looks back at the funniest, most absurd or heart- breaking animal encounters and situations he has been in over his long and highly successful career.

Vzpomínání populárního britského veterináře, který začínal kariéru u legendárního Jamese Herriota a řadu let vystupoval v televizním pořadu Veterinář z Yorkshiru, navazuje na jeho předchozí knihu Zvěrolékařem v Yorkshiru. Autor přibližuje záludnosti své veterinární praxe, která ho zavádí do nejrůznějších zapadlých koutů malebného yorkshirského kraje, a zároveň se ohlíží za svým životem.

Peter Wright, jeden z hlavních protagonistů britského televizního seriálu Veterinář z Yorkshiru, vypráví příběhy z vlastní veterinární praxe a s laskavým nadhledem i suchým humorem líčí život vesnického zvěrolékaře. Sympatická kniha navazuje na tradici Jamese Herriota – a to doslova, protože autor s tímto „nejslavnějším veterinářem všech dob“ pracoval v jeho ordinaci v Thirsku, malebném městečku v srdci severního Yorkshiru.

This book aims to encourage and enable the reader to link a natural interest in human (and animal) behaviour with the sorts of models and theories that are used by academic psychologists. It is designed to help students make the difficult transition to the study of psychology at university level.

The book deals with objects and object-orientated development with Visual Basic 5. It explains why object-oriented programming is so important today, and how its use can simplify the development process as a whole. To do this it drills down on Classes, ActiveX Controls, Components, Documents, OO style and what these things let you do. It leads the reader into the realm of actual development, by using a lot of real world examples, demonstrating the sort of problems that programmers come up against everyday.

The British government's efforts to block publication of Peter Wright's Spycatcher: Candid Autobiography of a Senior Intelligence Agent climaxed in a sensational trial in Australia in 1986 that cast a shadow of disrepute on the British legal system, the Official Secrets Act and the government itself. The author of this engrossing, suspenseful account is the Australian attorney who represented Wright and his would-be Australian publisher. Excerpts from the trial testimony reveal that Turnbull uncovered mendacity, hypocrisy and cynicism at the highest levels of the British government, principally during his cross-examination of Sir Robert Armstrong, cabinet secretary and adviser on intelligence matters. In 1987 the High Court at Canberra dismissed the case and ordered the Thatcher government to reimburse legal costs to Wright and Heinemann Publishers Australia. Turnbull calls the Britishers' conduct in the affair "quite disgraceful" and adds that the experience "galvanized my determination to see Australia rid herself of its sic remaining constitutional links with England."
