Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As evidenced by the incredible success of Helen MacDonald's H is for Hawk, and the legions of fans of Pale Male, the incredible red-tailed hawk of 5th avenue, we are full of rapture for raptors. James Macdonald Lockhart, is among the many who have sought out these incredible birds, and in this lyrical work of natural history he seeks out 15 different raptors, in 15 different landscapes across England: a journey in search of raptors, a journey through the birds and into their worlds. Raptors are by nature scarce and extremely elusive. Of Pandionidae (osprey), Accipitridae (broad-winged harrier, eagle, buzzard, red kite) and Falconidae (peregrine, sparrowhawk etc.) only widespread buzzards, kestrels and kites are easily seen. Lockhart follows loosely the trail of 19th-century Scottish naturalist and artist William MacGillivray (1796-1852), As Philip Hoare wrote of it, James MacDonald Lockhart puts the rapture back in the raptor. This is in-the-moment writing, raw in beak and claw. With its gorgeously felt sense of life and place, Raptor rips at its words, turning them into exquisite portraits of the utter wild, shaping soaring, obsessive beauty out of the British landscape and its imperial birds"

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Surveying a wide range of contemporary poetry, fiction, and memoir by women writers, this book explores our most pressing environmental concerns and shows how these texts find innovative new ways to respond to our environmental crisis. Arguing for the centrality of individual encounter and fragmentary form in 21st-century literature, as well as themes of attention, care, and loss, Baker highlights the ways that fragmentary texts can be seen as a mode of resistance. These texts provide new ways to consider the role of individual agency and enmeshment in a more-than-human world. The author proposes a new model of 'gleaning' to encompass ideas of collection, assemblage, and relinquishment and draws on theoretical perspectives such as ecofeminism, new materialism and posthumanism. Examining works by writers including Sara Baume, Ali Smith, Elizabeth-Jane Burnett, Bhanu Kapil and Kathleen Jamie, Baker provides important new insights into understanding our planetary predicament.

Download or read book William MacGillivray written by Robert Ralph and published by Merrell. This book was released on 1999 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In 1830 in Edinburgh a meeting occurred that was to lay the foundations of ornithology in Britain and the United States. John James Audubon was a famous American naturalist and bird artist, looking for an assistant to transcribe his notes; William MacGillivray was an obscure teacher and journalist, obsessed by the natural world and determined to make his name in ornithology. The two men formed a friendship that led to ten frantic years of writing, painting and travelling, culminating in the publication of MacGillivray's masterwork, A History of British Birds. He never recovered from the hostile critical reception the first volumes of the work received, and, lonely and depressed after Audubon's return to America, he spent the last years of his life teaching and reviewing. He lived just long enough to see the publication of the final volume of his life's work." "Today MacGillivray is celebrated by many as one of the first ecologists, while A History of British Birds in many ways anticipates Darwin's The Origin of Species. His illustrations were among the first to show wild animals and birds as living creatures inhabiting their own environment, rather than as dead specimens, and their delicacy and accuracy ensure that his work is at least the equal of the more famous Audubon's. This beautifully designed book is the first fully illustrated treatment of MacGillivray's art, restoring him to his rightful place at the forefront of natural history artists."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Here his superb bird paintings were first engraved and he realized his ambition of having them published. This comprehensive and important book is based largely on the artist's own writings from journals and his prolific correspondence and work with his associate, the naturalist, William MacGillivray, who supplied scientific data for the text and supervised the production of "Birds of America.
