Stories about Jude's youth, their adoptive parent's youth, and her grandmother and grandfather's youth, as told by her grandmother and grandfather. This is the first volume of hopefully several more for Jude to refer back to often.

Clem Harrison is posted to RAF Hereford after his successful basic training at RAF Swinderby in 1976, and he finds the changes quite an eye opener. The bull is not as bad but there is still an element of discipline, and of course there are WRAFs at RAF Hereford. This story tells of Clem's training in supply and how he gets on with the other trainees, who are hell bent on getting drunk every night. Clem at seventeen years is amazed at how much alcohol is sunk by his colleagues, and how they manage to get through the day in the training room, but when he turns eighteen, later on in the course he realises that the booze is a saviour. Then there is Corporal McCauley, who is a keen sportsman, and paces the roads of Hereford at five o'clock in the morning, but his energy helps the trainees come to terms with the theory and practical and he is a keen stickler for discipline and time keeping. Clem finds that the camaraderie between him and his colleagues plays an important part in his supply trade training, and which will stay with him for the rest of his life.

Clem Harrison makes a life changing decision, at 17 years of age, to join the Royal Air Force as a Supplier, but first he must endure the toughest six weeks of his entire life. But Clem takes it all on the chin, and accepts the hard times with enthusiasm, diligence, grit and desire and puts a positive mind set on all the tasks ahead of him including drill, "Presenting Arms," cross country, weight training, resource and initiative at Sherwood Forest, tea and bromide, early calls at 6. 15 am, rifle range, cleaning the rifles, bulling the floors, cleaning the toilets, with the sole target of the "Passing Out" parade in the sixth week, but can Clem and his 15 colleagues in his Flight endure the hardship that is intensified with two very strict drill instructors Sergeant Winner and Corporal Cherry in charge? It's a gripping adventure story that will have you turning each page keenly to find out how Clem his mates get on at the notorious RAF Swinderby recruit training base.

This book emphasizes resource use and efficiency in the agricultural sector and offers facts and analytical concepts of interest to welfare economists, sociologists, and agricultural policy makers. Originally published in 1972

This book has three primary themes: identification, natural history, and conservation. This is the first guide yet produced to the amphibians and reptiles of New York State, a large and heavily populated state that hosts a surprisingly diverse and interesting community of amphibians and reptiles. The book presents the results of the New York State Amphibian and Reptile Atlas for the first time (a compilation of ~60,000 distributional records collected 1990-1999); thus, the volume is a repository for detailed distributional data on the 69 species native to the state. The book presents in-depth species accounts based on the six authors' decades of collective experience as teachers, researchers and conservationists. Supporting chapters focus on the biology of amphibians and reptiles, New York's environment, finding and studying these creatures, and the rich folklore of New York State as it pertains to amphibians and reptiles, particularly rattlesnakes. A heavy emphasis on conservation biology of amphibians and reptiles sets the book apart from any comparable volume yet produced in the United States. To this end, chapters on threats, legal protections, habitat conservation guidelines, and conservation case studies are presented. An expanded color insert presents striking photographs contributed by over 30 photographers. The book is intended for use by natural history buffs generally interested in the vertebrate animals of New York and adjoining regions (Pennsylvania, Connecticut, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Vermont, Quebec and Ontario), students in the many herpetology, vertebrate biology, and natural history courses offered at colleges and field stations in the northeast, public and college libraries, and natural resource professionals interested in learning more about approaches to conserving reptiles and amphibians.
