David Grant Knihy

Autor s humorem líčí průměrný rok velmi zaměstnaného veterináře. Na stránkách knihy znovu ožívají příběhy zvířat známých z televizní obrazovky.

Mladý veterinář David Grant rád přijme nabídku na stáž v Kolumbii. Je připraven se v Medellinu lecčemu přiučit, nebyl však připraven jednat s mafií, na nesnesitelné podnebí, na studentské řádění ani na přepadení partyzány... Zato je nepostradatelný pro bohaté klienty, kteří rozmazlují své chlupaté miláčky. Nemůže přehlédnout, že leckteří psi se tu mají mnohem lépe než některé děti, vyrůstající na ulici. Přeložila Zdeňka Marečková....

Po ukončení veterinárních studií přijíždí do Cantenbury začínající zvěrolékař Grant. Jeho dosavadní praxe během studií se točila zejména kolem péče o domácí mazlíčky; teď se ocitá na venkově, v zemědělské oblasti, a jeho pacienty se stávají především hospodářská zvířata. Grant se postupně učí zacházet s nemocnými kravami, prasaty a ovcemi, ale i jejich svéráznými majiteli. Vtipné historky z prvního nárazu reality evokují laskavým humorem i porozuměním pro bližního svého slavné zvěrolékařské patálie Jamese Herriota....

Oblíbený britský veterinář nás tentokrát zve do "zvířecí nemocnice". Jeho srdečný, láskyplný vztah ke zvířatum se promítá do vtipného vyprávění, protkaného kousavou ironií, již veterinář změřuje nejčastěji sám proti sobě. Příběhy některých zvířat jsou smutné; Grant nás seznamuje s mučivým osudem některých štěňat a koťat po Vánocích, kdy si jejich noví majitelé uvědomí, že je vlasntě nechtějí... V dalším vyprávění nám přibližuje strasti a slasti jarního skotačení zvířátek, které končí návštěvou u veterináře. Hlavními hrdiny této knihy je celá plejáda tvorů a tvorečků, kteří nám přinášejí velkou radost, ale někdy nám dokáží také "pořádně zatopit".

Mladý zvěrolékař Grant se v této knize přesouvá na městskou kliniku a věnuje se pro změnu často zhýčkaným, zlomyslným a nezvladatelným, ale vždycky milovaným domácím mazlíčkům. Kromě toho se také konečně snaží najít dívku, která by neváhala spojit svůj život s mužem, pro něhož téměř neexistuje noc bez zoufalých telefonátů bezradných majitelů........ Laskavé, vtipné i trochu nostalgické historky dobromyslného průšviháře si právem získaly své čtenáře po celém světě....

REVISE GCSE English and English Language Revision Workbook Higher (REVISE AQA GCSE English 2010) [Paperback] Grant, Mr David

It's 1973 and the three-day week turns life at the RSPCA Animal Hospital at Harmsworth upside down. When a Colombian friend suggests a spell as a vet in South America, David Grant jumps at the chance. However, the lessons he learns in Colombia are not those he expected: how to deal with the mafia, how to avoid being mugged, how to avoid guerrilla raids. When David saves the life of the local drug baron's dog, his future seems secure, but his refusal to carry out unnecessary treatment leads to a cash crisis. He solves it by becoming a part-time English teacher, which in turn leads to romance. Here is his heartwarming and humorous tale of his adventures.

A three-level short course in Business English. Each of the five units covers key areas such as dealing with people, participating in meetings, exchanging information, and problem-solving. The principal focus is on developing students' speaking and listening skills. Each unit is further divided into five or six sub-sections.

The book explores the profound impact of neuroscience on privacy, challenging existing notions and advocating for a redefined understanding of personal boundaries. David Grant delves into necessary legal, governmental, and market adjustments to accommodate this evolving landscape. His insights are particularly relevant for scholars and students of privacy law, offering a thought-provoking examination of how neuroscience could reshape privacy norms.

Nice is the queen of the Cote d'Azur. Founded by the Greeks some time after the 6th century BC, it has borne the tread of Roman legionnaires and Italy-bound Englishmen on the Grand Tour as well as Lost Generation literati from Hemingway to Fitzgerald. Since the late 19th century it has been known as a pleasure capital, and now tourism is its beating heart. But how did this happen? What was it that changed not just Nice or the French Riviera, but our leisure habits as a whole?
