On The Menu: Animal Welfare: They are What We Eat... 
"I hope thousand of us are brave enough to read "On the Menu" and to take the challenge of doing something to bring an end to this horrendous corruption of what really farming should be about." -- Joanna Lumley, OBE
"Essential reading for everyone with an interest in the origin of the food they eat and I thoroughly recommend it." -- Kay, Duchess of Hamilton, Chairman of Advocates for Animals
"This excellent book takes us through the nastier side of rearing animals for food and I commend it to both animal lovers and cynics alike." -- The Rt Hon Ann Widdecombe MP
Chicken soup, Beef and Ale Pie, Custard Tart. Nice menu - but how much do you know about the ingredients? With so much emphasis on consumer health - whether the meat or fish is safe to eat - the way that animals, birds and fish are slaughtered appears to take second place. Labels say little or nothing about animal welfare and neither are they a guarantee of quality. On some farms animals are able to enjoy a natural, healthy, outdoor life. But where they are reared on an industrial scale, poultry, cattle, cows, sheep and pigs are crammed by their thousands into vast sheds. Reared on feed that is high on fat and protein - an unnatural diet designed to make them grow as quickly as possible - they are turned into obese and grotesque forms of their natural selves as they become more stressed, crippled, and diseased. How might these farmed animals feel? How intelligent are they? Can they think? Do they suffer? Sue Cross presents the stark facts about animal welfare, giving a balanced view of commercial farming from the appropriate research and scientific evidence provided. It is essential reading for everyone with an interest in the origin of the food they eat.

Leadership is the means by which all life, be it animal or human, survives
and achieves in the world. Without it, we would simply descend into anarchy
and chaos.
But the success of leadership depends upon the techniques it employs to
persuade its followers to follow. While authoritarianism, fear and bribery
have all, to some degree, proved effective forms of leadership, David
Gilbert-Smith advocates ‘personal power’ and the ability to
“know and control oneself first, to lead oneself so that then, and
only then, can one lead others” as the fundamental principle of leadership.
The results are far more potent than any draconian measures.
Winning Hearts and Minds is David’s philosophy of how good and great
leaders, rather than imposing their will from without, should win the
trust and respect of their disciples, teaching them to look inwards and
learn from themselves, not just to ‘take orders’. Its inspirational
ideas will open up the path to self-development, showing that winning
hearts and minds can change lives and deliver results.
