During a career spanning four decades John has been the behind-the-scenes mastermind ensuring the welfare & maintenance of Richmond Park`s world-famous herd of deer
- widely thought of as the finest herd in captivity. Working with these fabled creatures has demanded balancing their needs with the very real, & often fatal, dangers the park`s visitors pose to his herd, & John pulls no punches when it comes to his opinion on the deer`s place in the scheme of things, the human `invaders` & the collision of their two worlds. A remarkable diary chronicling the final year of John`s charmed life as the guardian of Richmond Park, this memoir tells of the unique demands of each new season, & of the enormous wrench he will feel upon no longer waking up in the midst of so much unchanged & wild beauty. Park Life is a treasure trove of stories & memories, some poignant & moving, others offbeat & hilarious: from the quirk of fate & farcical interview that led to him getting the job, to living in close-quarters with the deer, the tragedy of putting down fatally wounded animals, & the annual ritual of the rut
- as dependable as the rising & setting of the sun.

The clock tower of the Houses of Parliament is an icon both of Parliament & of Britain, but in fact it is a relatively small part of a sprawling complex with a fascinating history. Over several hundred years, the British Parliament has developed from a mobile assembly gathered at the king`s behest into a static Westminster-based body that has variously challenged, checked & bolstered royal authority. Richard Tames here offers an introduction to the thous&-year development of the Palace of Westminster, the evolution of the parliamentary system, how legislation passes through the House of Commons & the House of Lords, & the role of the monarch. He also explains such traditions as the State Opening, the role of the Mace & of officials such as the speakers & Black Rod. ...
