Paperback edition. What a calamity! Calamity Camel, that is. She hates heat. She hates sun. She hates sand. And most of all, she hates carrying. But every day, that's what she has to do, trudging back and forth across the burning desert with a pack on her back. So she complains and fusses, and won't stop whining, until all the other camels in the caravan are mighty sick of her. Finally, one day she's had it. "I need a holiday!" she shrieks—a ski holiday! And off she goes to the snow-packed mountains where cold-weather animals like polar bears and penguins frolic. But there's just one problem: CAMELS DON'T SKI. You'll laugh and laugh as Calamity skids and slides down the slopes, causing lots of trouble for herself and everyone else too. One thing's for sure: no fish out of water could be as silly as a camel on the slopes…

Hardcover edition. The aim of the Controlled Reproduction in Farm Animals Series is to provide a general review of the literature dealing with the different ways in which reproduction in the major farm mammals can be controlled and manipulated. It is effectively an expanded and new edition of a previous work, Controlled Breeding in Farm Animals (Pergamon Press, 1983). However, the literature on this subject has expanded so rapidly since the time of the earlier volume, that it is now thought appropriate to publish it in four separate volumes. Buffalo, goats, deer, and camelids have also been added to the species covered. The set of volumes will appeal to reproductive physiologists, animal scientists, and workers in veterinary medicine. Individual volumes should also be of value to all interested in the particular species covered.
