Book Description
A hilarious, high-stakes adventure involving crooked casino boats, floating fish, toxic beaches, and one kid determined to get justice. This is Carl Hiaasen's Florida—where the creatures are wild and the people are wilder! You know it's going to be a rough summer when you spend Father's Day visiting your dad in the local lockup. Noah's dad is sure that the owner of the Coral Queen casino boat is flushing raw sewage into the harbor–which has made taking a dip at the local beach like swimming in a toilet. He can't prove it though, and so he decides that sinking the boat will make an effective statement. Right. The boat is pumped out and back in business within days and Noah's dad is stuck in the clink. Now Noah is determined to succeed where his dad failed. He will prove that the Coral Queen is dumping illegally . . . somehow. His allies may not add up to much–his sister Abbey, an unreformed childhood biter; Lice Peeking, a greedy sot with poor hygiene; Shelly, a bartender and a woman scorned; and a mysterious pirate–but Noah's got a plan to flush this crook out into the open. A plan that should sink the crooked little casino, once and for all.

Hunting Bill
Author: Great Britain: Parliament: House of Commons
Publisher: The Stationery Office
ISBN: 9780215704528
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 16
Book Description
This Bill contains provisions, applicable to England and Wales, i) to end the hunting of wild animals with dogs, except where it is carried out in accordance with the conditions of an exemption as specified in schedule 1; and ii) to ban all hare coursing events. The Bill is identical in substance to the Government Bill brought from the Commons on 10/07/2003 (HL Bill 95, session 2002-03; ISBN 0108404773) which was blocked in the House of Lords, but the Government has said it will use the Parliament Act to force this Bill into law, if necessary. The Bill is due to come into force three months after it receives Royal Assent. Although hare coursing will be banned immediately on commencement, it is thought likely the implementation of the ban on hunting with dogs will be delayed to take account of its implications for hunting-related employment and the dispersal or rehoming of dogs.
