Download or read book Sparrowhawks written by Ben Crane and published by Crowood. This book was released on 2014-05-31 with total page 443 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flying imprint sparrowhawks is often unfairly portrayed as being overly complex and highly technical. Sparrowhawks - A Falconer's Guide aims to paint a far more informed picture, and to perhaps dispel some of the myths. Written with the beginner in mind, it is based on considerable first-hand experience of the author and a number of other respected falconers from the United Kingdom, Croatia, Ireland and Turkey who have specialized in flying sparrowhawks. By drawing comparisons with some of the most ancient trapping and training techniques of the East, and by making a connection with modern Western falconry practices, this remarkable book encapsulates the timeless beauty and joy of sparrowhawking, which crosses all cultures. Topics covered include: equipment, preparing to receive your sparrowhawk chick and imprinting; training, behaviour, quarry, entering, field craft and hawking in many different types of terrain; methodologies of captive breeding in the West; problems associated with the rehabilitation and release of wild sparrowhawks in the United Kingdom and finally, the vitally important subject of sparrowhawk health and welfare. Superbly illustrated with over 200 colour photographs.
Download or read book The Sparrowhawk written by Ian Newton and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2010-11-30 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr Newton is now a senior ornithologist with the Natural Environment Research Council and the book draws on his wide knowledge of the Sparrowhawk, as well as that of other workers in Britain and abroad. The text gives a detailed account of all aspects of the Sparrowhawk's lifestyle, population levels and trends, and the impact of man and environment on the species in recent times. The book also has the benefit of Dr Newton's particular interest in population regulation and breeding performance, and in the remarkable contrast in size between the Sparrowhawk sexes (males being half the weight of females), which means that they diverge, almost as separate species, in habitat preference, diet and in response to circumstance. The narrative is fully supported by diagrams, tables and photographs, and is embellished by Keith Brockie's evocative and accomplished drawings.
Book Synopsis A Sparrowhawk's Lament by : David Cobham
Download or read book A Sparrowhawk's Lament written by David Cobham and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-07-06 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Britain is home to fifteen species of breeding birds of prey, from the hedgerow-hopping Sparrowhawk to the breathtaking White-tailed Eagle. In this handsomely illustrated book, acclaimed British filmmaker and naturalist David Cobham offers unique and deeply personal insights into Britain's birds of prey and how they are faring today. He delves into the history of these magnificent birds and talks in depth with the scientists and conservationists who are striving to safeguard them. In doing so, he profiles the writers, poets and filmmakers who have done so much to change the public's perception of birds of prey. There are success stories—five birds of prey that were extinct have become reestablished with viable populations—but persecution is still rife. Featuring drawings by famed wildlife artist Bruce Pearson, this book reveals why we must cherish and celebrate our birds of prey, and why we neglect them at our peril.

Book Synopsis The Marshall Cavendish International Wildlife Encyclopedia by : Maurice Burton
Download or read book The Marshall Cavendish International Wildlife Encyclopedia written by Maurice Burton and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A familiar format in collections serving schools and the public: 25 volumes, nearly 3,000 pages, heavily illustrated with color photos and line-drawings, range maps, and many bandw pictures. Covers all animals in articles of a few lines to a few pages. The text is simple enough for age twelve, or so. A genre that is calculated to entertain, inform, and, we hope, lead the reader to more detailed study. The bibliography offers more sophisticated books but is concentrated in v.25. The primary impression is "a picture book" with perhaps 10,000 illustrations. These are of indifferent quality: faded colors, many being fuzzy. The arrangements of the set is by common name (without reference to the Latin term). Interspersed with animals are such general topics as Africa, zoos, conservation. Lacking running headings it is frustrating to search directly without using the index--the zebra in v.1 is within the "Africa" section. Indexed by animal--both common and Latin names, by subject, and classification. Portions of the work have been published as The international wildlife encyclopedia, Encyclopedia of animal life, and Funk and Wagnalls wildlife encyclopedia.

Book Synopsis Fighting for Birds by : Dr. Mark Avery
Download or read book Fighting for Birds written by Dr. Mark Avery and published by Pelagic Publishing. This book was released on 2012-07-02 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Devoted to birds and wildlife since childhood, Mark’s early scientific research at Oxford, Aberdeen and the RSPB provided a solid background for his management, ambassadorial, and political lobbying activities which were to follow – and his larger than life, yet quietly humane personality has provided the final tools in his own, unique, nature conservationists’ toolbox. In this book, Mark mixes a great many stories from his professional life at the RSPB with personal anecdotes and passionate arguments on past and present issues in bird and nature conservation. He shows us something of the many scientists whose work paves the way for conservation action, places domestic conservation into an international context, takes us behind the scenes to glimpse the politicians who have worked with him, or against him, along the way. Mark leaves us armed with practical tips and a guiding philosophy to take wildlife conservation though the troubled years that lie ahead. A personal, philosophical and political history of 25 years of bird conservation, this book provides an instructive and amusing read for all those who would like a glimpse into the birds and wildlife conservation world – what the issues are, what must be done, how it can be done, and the challenges, highs and lows involved.

Book Synopsis Justice for Laughing Boy by : Sara Ryan
Download or read book Justice for Laughing Boy written by Sara Ryan and published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. This book was released on 2017-09-27 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On July 4th 2013, Connor Sparrowhawk, also known as Laughing Boy or LB, was found dead in a specialist NHS unit. Connor, who had autism and epilepsy, had a seizure while in the bath and no member of staff was on hand to stop him from drowning. An entirely preventable death. Sara Ryan presents a frank, sometimes funny and touching account of her son's early life and preventable death and the unfolding #JusticeforLB campaign. This serves as a wake-up call to all of us and asks: can we really claim that we respect the life and dignity of learning disabled people?
