For many people, the name 'Huntingdon Life Sciences' will live forever in infamy. In the early 2000s, Europe's largest animal testing laboratory provoked public outrage, and sparked a resistance movement like no other. Stop Huntingdon Animal Cruelty (SHAC) knew the struggles for animal and human liberation to be inextricably linked. The State knew that they had to be stopped… Your Neighbour Kills Puppies tells the complete inside story of this remarkable campaign and the forces arrayed against it. It exposes a murky world of institutional animal exploitation, government collusion, corporate lobbyists, agent provocateurs and police spies desperate to silence dissent. Author and campaign veteran Tom Harris transports the reader into the heart of the action, through underground tunnels and illicit animal rescues, before detailing the brutal state-led crackdown which saw scores of activists violently arrested and imprisoned.

Miyako Florence isn’t sad when her fiancé breaks off their engagement after two years. It’s all according to plan! Whisked to the world of her favorite otome game, Miyako frees herself from a dull noble to pursue her true soulmate: the game’s villainess Fuuka Hamilton. Proud Fuuka only has eyes for their mutual ex-fiancé! Miyako confesses her love to Fuuka and proposes that they run away together. Fuuka agrees on one condition: Miyako must make her say “I’m happy” in 14 days. With conniving nobles, strange diseases, and magical rituals pulling them apart, can Miyako win the villainess’s heart? A tentative bud blossoms in this twisting romance from the author of Sexiled!

Now softcover binding, the second edition of The Voice Clinic Handbook has been completely updated and expanded, largely rewritten, and features contributions by world-leading voice practitioners from laryngology, voice therapy, osteopathy, singing, psychotherapy, and voice science. Following the principles set by its acclaimed predecessor, the new edition is a manual of good practice in the voice clinic - from measurement and instrumentation, through evaluation and treatment, to considerations for special populations, including singers and voice professionals. Divided into three sections, Part I provides an outline of the structure and function of the vocal tract, Part II addresses common treatment modalities, and Part III outlines the equipment for measuring voice: uses and limitations. The Editors have deliberately steered away from filling the book with everything there is to know about the management of voice problems. This is about practical, everyday management of voice and has been carefully and deliberately designed following feedback from voice clinic team members on what they have found useful and what works best for them. It is not intended to be a cover-to-cover read; it is more for dipping into in order to inform your own speciality or even clarify what it is that your colleagues in other specialities have to offer. In short, it contains pretty much everything you need to know in your everyday clinical practice.
