Produktbeschreibung

"An entertaining and informative read" Dame Joanna Lumley

Roger Windsor's career as a veterinarian and conservationist has taken him on a thrilling journey across the globe. In A Vet for All Seasons, the final volume of his memoirs, he takes readers on a captivating ride through his adventurous life. From his time at the Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory in Dumfries, Scotland, where he worked during the Foot and Mouth epidemic of 2000 and conducted a whale autopsy, to his consultancies on five continents, from Afghanistan to Zambia, Roger's tales are both entertaining and informative.

But Roger's passions don't stop at veterinary medicine. He is also an art lover who ran a gallery in Dumfries while juggling his international work. He was also instrumental in saving Moat Brae House, the birthplace of Peter Pan, for the nation, by setting up the Moat Brae Trust.

In The Veterinary Detectives, Roger shares some of his most memorable moments, including performing surgery on monkeys, advising on the conservation of orangutans in Borneo and Asian lions in Gujarat, and even treating a Liger for tonsillitis. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in animal health, conservation, and adventure.

Autorenporträt

Dr. Guy Windsor is a world-renowned instructor and a pioneering researcher of medieval and renaissance martial arts. He has been teaching the Art of Arms full-time since founding The School of European Swordsmanship in Helsinki, Finland, in 2001. His day job is finding and analysing historical swordsmanship treatises, figuring out the systems they represent, creating a syllabus from the treatises for his students to train with, and teaching the system to his students all over the world. Guy is the author of numerous classic books about the art of swordsmanship and has consulted on swordfighting game design and stage combat. He developed the card game, Audatia, based on Fiore dei Liberi's Art of Arms, his primary field of study. In 2018 Edinburgh University awarded him a PhD by Research Publications for his work recreating historical combat systems. When not studying medieval and renaissance swordsmanship or writing books Guy can be found in his shed woodworking or spending time with his family.
