Tracking Animals
Tracking Animals: A Guide to Trailing Wildlife, co-authored by Lee Gutteridge and Dr Kersey Lawrence, provides a fresh look at the processes and skills required to become competent in the art and science of tracking wild animals. When done correctly, tracking allows for viewing a wild animal without alerting it to your presence, which is key to interpreting and understanding their natural behaviours.But an animal’s trail doesn’t stop when we find it. An animal’s trail goes on until the day it dies and its bones decompose back into the earth, or it becomes the living flesh of another animal. Tracking gives us glimpses into an animal’s life. Tracks tell stories, and trackers read those stories. Like the tracks themselves, this book is animated with teaching stories and photographs from the field by Lee, Kersey and other expert trackers. The stories span continents, species and habitats, and the concepts are applicable everywhere there are animals to find, and tracks, signs and trails to identify, interpret and follow. This means that the book can be used anywhere in the world, although its heart is in the southern African bush.This book starts with basic “how to” information and grows in complexity, moving into a series of more technical skills and information, including detailed descriptions of methods used to handle different circumstances a wildlife tracker will encounter. It also includes a few simple exercises that you can do to become a better tracker, whether you are only interested in identifying the tracks and signs in your backyard, or in developing the full suite of skills that trackers use.With its engaging and informative content, Tracking Animals is valuable for both beginners and experienced trackers, and to naturalists, hikers, guides, hunters, scientists and educators.

Murder of PC Gutteridge
PC George William Gutteridge was a well-liked and respected village policeman for Stapleford Abbotts in rural Essex, where he lived with his wife and two young children. While on his beat out on a lonely country road in the early hours of the morning of 27 September 1927, he was gunned down in one of the most horrific and callous killings of a police officer in the history of British law enforcement.It had been PC Gutteridge's misfortune to stop a stolen car containing hardened career criminals, Frederick Guy Browne and William Kennedy. Neither had any respect for the police, and neither was afraid to use extreme violence to evade capture. What ensued was one of the biggest manhunts Britain had ever seen.The murderers were brought to justice by a masterpiece of detective work by Scotland Yard, and their arrest required the skill and bravery of officers from a number of police forces. Drawing on Home Office and police files along with a host of contemporary newspaper reports and long-forgotten memoirs, Neil R. Storey provides a vivid account of the case and, in doing so, presents a darkly fascinating insight into Britain's underworld during the roaring 1920s.

Never Will I Die
There's no pain, no theatrical agony. No screaming, no shouting. The kill shot is catastrophic and conclusive. I slump silently on to my knees and topple forward, head first, into the dirt. The lads have seen enough death to assume mine is instantaneous. The lights are out. That's him gone.Toby Gutteridge was only 24 when he was shot through the neck while operating behind enemy lines in Afghanistan. He survived despite not breathing for at least 20 minutes. Back in the UK, doctors recommended that his life support machine be switched off, but with the defiant spirit that would define his recovery, Toby pulled through.Now quadriplegic, capable of movement only with his head, Toby has rebuilt his life. His is an extraordinary story of survival against overwhelming odds, and of the power of the human spirit to overcome extreme adversity. Brutally honest and authentic, he builds a compelling picture of the type of person produced by the Special Forces system, and tells of how one split second changed the course of his life forever.Powerful and inspiring, Never Will I Die is a universal story about our search for purpose, and explores what extreme experience teaches us about what truly matters.

Stranger in the Birth Room
"Fills a critical gap in the literature on maternity care... a comprehensive and thoughtful exploration of how we can better understand, support, and care for survivors of sexual abuse" Sheena Byrom in her forewordTrauma-informed maternity care is essential for women who are survivors of childhood abuse. Pregnancy and birth can bring up long-suppressed memories and feelings that have implications for women’s health and wellbeing as they become mothers. Welcoming a new baby into the family can challenge relationships and distort emotions following birth, affecting partners and bonding with their baby.Kathryn Gutteridge has spent her career as a midwife advocating for the needs of survivor women in maternity care, and this book is the result of that work. She explains how and why the needs of survivors must be taken into account, and shows that trauma-informed care can transform the experiences of women who might otherwise be further traumatised by the maternity care system.Drawing on the evidence base, personal experience, and the words of survivors themselves, this carefully conceived and written book will help all those who work in maternity to better understand the needs of survivors of childhood abuse in their care. For those clinicians who are themselves survivors, this book acknowledges the challenges they face and makes suggestions about how they might find solace in supporting women and their babies.
