Why not join the Metropolitan Police?' A chance glance at the large poster pinned to a noticeboard outside Wembley Police Station in 1964 changed Carol Bristow's life. Aged twenty-two, with eight office jobs behind her, she knew there must be a world beyond the typewriter. Little did she know what the next thirty years would hold. Proud in her blue serge uniform, Carol was all set to take the police force by storm. From her early days as a rookie, she was involved in dangerous and often hilarious cases.

In this book we meet eleven different wild animals, including a fox, a beaver and a polar bear. The pictures are testimony and traces of bodily contact. Artist Michael Günzburger and printer Thomi Wolfensberger have developed a method of capturing an animal?s impression on a lithograph. The lithographs make every single hair on their heads, bodies and tails visible, portraying the animals with an uncanny directness and immediacy: their very energy can be physically felt.0This is the first time Günzburger has teamed up with dramatist, essayist und novelist and long-time friend Lukas Bärfuss to produce a book.
