An excellent reference for anyone who wants an in-depth understanding of our ponds.
I've a number of New Naturalists and bought this at a good price after viewing some sample pages and reviews online. Read it from cover to cover in a few days.
As a reference for British ponds and their history, formation and importance this is a well written, reasonably well illustrated and authoritative source. The Collins NN books tend to be getting longer (this exceeds 600 pages) but much of the material is interesting and informative, only a little strictly not relevant to modern ponds and their ecosystems.
The survey of flora and fauna found in ponds is not that detailed, but other references should be consulted for this. It took a week to read this book and was a little dry in places, but also hugely informative and containing plenty of data and facts I didn't know about ponds.
Another excellent Collins New Naturalist book. The recent ones tend to be more 'academic' and full of data than older titles, but that's no bad thing.

One of the Better Genesis Unofficial Live Recordings -- But Imperfect
This is a well-known Genesis bootleg recording from the group's Selling England US promotional tour. There are better gigs from this period (e.g. The Rainbow Theatre, London) and a couple worse than this.
First the good aspects. The sound quality isn't bad, with little audience noise and only the slightest tape hiss in quieter sections. It has interesting spoken Peter Gabriel stories between the tracks and you get around 1 hr 20 mins of the concert and a bonus of Watcher.. and Musical Box recorded at another venue the same year. It's well performed as usual though Hackett's guitar does get swamped by drums and keyboards at times.
On the downside, Supper's Ready fades abruptly near the end (around 3 minutes missing) and the card cover is basic in terms of text and illustrations. A jewel case would've been preferable. The cover image is a generic photoshop one. Also, it's a less complete Selling England than The Rainbow gig.
Worth getting if you're a serious Genesis fan.

Superior to the standard Arthur issue & with a 'Dave Davies Solo Album'.
My old copy of Arthur had an annoying jump mid-way through Shangri-La, so I wanted a replacement anyway. This 2 CD was appealing as it had the bonus tracks from the time presented as Dave Davies' solo album on disc two.
Of course, disc one with the remastered 1969 Arthur (Or the Decline and Fall of the British Empire) album remastered justifies the cost alone. The Kinks' second-best album after the classic 'Village Green' preceding it IMO, just ahead as the following album, 1970's 'Lola'. Tracks like Arthur, Australia and Shangri La are long by Kinks' standards, with Australia around seven minutes of excellence. The whole concept album is consistently good and pleasingly dated in terms of lyrical references. This disc includes non-album singles King Kong and Plastic Man.
Disc two's 'Dave Davies' 12-track album is a decent album too but isn't up to Arthur's standards, also having a rough unfinished sound at times. Tracks like Lincoln County and Mindless Child of Motherhood are fine Kinks tracks. Although the Deluxe version of this album is better still, this 2019 book compilation is cheaper. The attractive illustrated 24 page album information in the book is rather good too.
