Poľovníctvo: Neobyčajné momenty
Vydajte sa na poľovačku s Gertom G. von Harlingom a renomovaným fotografom divej zveri Frankom Ecklerom a zdieľajte s nimi výnimočné a dojímavé zážitky.
Gert G. von Harling sa na svet díva očami vášnivého milovníka prírody a priateľa zvierat a až v druhom pláne cez zorné pole svojho puškohľadu. Podstatou lovu tak preňho nie je streľba, ale skôr blízky kontakt s divokou prírodou.
Vášeň pre poľovačku dostal takpovediac do vienka, keďže jeho otec i starý otec boli nadšenými poľovníkmi. Odovzdal ju aj svojim dvom deťom. O poľovníctve aj rád píše, na konte má vyše 40 kníh, pričom je oceňovaným a aj najčítanejším autorom poľovníckej literatúry v nemecky hovoriacich krajinách.
V tejto publikácii približuje úchvatné zážitky z revírov v okolí svojho bydliska v Dolnom Sasku i v blízkom zahraničí. Nepíše len o trofejach, no často sa zamýšľa nad budúcnosťou poľovníctva.
Jeho slová umocňujú úchvatné fotografie Franka Ecklera, ktorý vie citlivo zachytiť nielen krásu krajiny, ale aj nezvyčajné a opomínané výjavy zo života divej zveri. Inšpiráciu nachádza neustále, bez ohľadu na dennú či ročnú dobu alebo počasie. Čitatelia vďaka nemu nazrú do rodinného života diviačic či sŕn. Budú tiež svedkami súbojov danielov a jeleňov alebo naopak ostražitosti zajacov či jarabíc.

Jak přes lákadla a odměny naučit psa významu vašich slov
„Výchozí myšlenka téhle knihy je prostá: je nejvyšší čas, abychom si plně uvědomili obrovskou hodnotu výchovy psů založené na lákadlech a odměnách, která je šetrná vůči psům i vůči lidem, rychlá a snadná, zábavná a plná her, probíhá bez vodítka a opírá se o výsledky. Tyhle techniky jsem utvářel a upravoval během uplynulých padesáti let. Trénink lákadlo-odměna je nejsnadnější, nejrychlejší a nejúčinnější způsob, jak naučit psa význam vašich slov, a tak otevřít komunikační kanály, které vám podstatně usnadní vštěpování základů způsobného chování, prevenci nebo řešení problémů s chováním a výchovou a postupně zformují povahu a osobnost vašeho psa.“ Dr. Ian Dunbar
Veterinář a behaviorista Dr. Ian Dunbar v roce 1982 vytvořil metodu SIRIUS® Puppy Training, která znamenala revoluci v trénování štěňat a psů. Jeho jedinečný způsob tréninku bez vodítka metodou lákadlo-odměna nabídl alternativu ke škubání za vodítko, alfa převalení, výcvikovým obojkům a jiným averzivním prostředkům. Koncepty a metody Dr. Dunbara ovlivnily snad všechny trenéry psů po celém světě.
Největší výhody metody lákadlo-odměna:
- Snadno a rychle naučíme psa rozumět významu našich slovních povelů, aby věděl, kdy a kde se venčit, co okusovat, kdy a jak dlouho štěkat, kdy a jak vhodně „vypouštět páru“ a spoustu dalších věcí.
- Průběžně můžeme testovat, zda a jak moc dobře nám rozumí.
- Naučíme se používat co nejvíc odměn ze života, jako jsou procházky nebo hry s jinými psy.
- Hrajeme se psem hry, které u něj rozvíjejí sebemotivaci. - Nevhodné chování a neposlušnost řešíme pomocí účinných neaverzivních technik

The Social Lives of Birds
'A tour-de-force survey of how birds live their lives - with all the drama, surprise, humour, sadness and amazement of any human soap-opera' - Stephen Moss, author of Ten Birds That Changed the World'Utterly fascinating . . . Strassmann is the perfect guide to this world: an author as much fascinated by the science and research as she is motivated by the sheer joy and wonder of the birds themselves' - James Macdonald Lockhart, author of RaptorIn The Social Lives of Birds, evolutionary biologist Joan Strassmann examines what it means for birds of a feather to flock together. Some birds sleep together. Some join the foraging groups of other species. Some are only social during the breeding season, forming nesting colonies in trees, cliffs, and sandbanks. Some are altruistic, helping to rear young that are not their own. Some males perform mating dances together. Strassmann explains how flocks provide safety in numbers, roosts offer warmth and shelter, and colonies allow for protected breeding. But group behavior is not without its costs-including increased competition, infidelities, tick infestations, and more. Strassmann exposes the conflicts birds face and the many ways in which they resolve these conflicts. With stories of birds from around the world-from broad-winged hawks that migrate south together in the fall, tree swallows that roost together in the thousands, and tropical anis that nest in communes-The Social Lives of Birds explores the different kinds of bird groups and what to look for when watching them. Above all, it reveals that solitary life, it seems, is not for the birds. 'Delightful and informative' - Lee Dugatkin, author of How to Tame a Fox (and Build a Dog)

Ghosts of the Night
No animal better symbolises the desire to get closer and the need to respect distance than the owl. These remarkable creatures are both among and apart from us: sharing the same environments but carrying a sense of mystique as they beat their wings low over the fields where they hunt, or swoop up and around to their nest, high in a tree or haystack. There is something ethereal, awe- and fear-inspiring about the appearance and movement of these birds: graceful, distinctive, almost otherworldly. It is not hard to see why observers long ago watched the owl and deemed it a visitor from another place, with either a great or terrible message to impart. Every encounter with an owl is special, somehow new, and stands alone even as it helps you to understand patterns and connections. The silent approach of a white Barn Owl angel over a paddock is one of the most alluring images in the British countryside. The t’wit and the answering t’wo of the Tawny owl is a classic of the night. Both are tiny insights into the amazing lives of the owls that are found around us. Ghosts of the Night is a wonderful insight into every element of our British Owls – Barn and Tawny and their even more enigmatic cousins the Short-eared, Long-eared and Little. How well do they hear, how silently do they fly and how do they live in the ever changing countryside. Chris Sperring is the acknowleged expert and he explains everything you have ever wanted to know about these amazing creatures.

Rivers Run
LONGLISTED FOR THE INAUGURAL RICHARD JEFFERIES AWARD FOR NATURE WRITING‘A master of the landscape and a celebration of a life lived with the wild’ – Dan Kieran, author of The Idle Traveller‘[Parr] writes beautifully ... gentle, often elegiac ... There is much pleasure to be taken from this book’ - Tom Fort, Gamefisher‘Yet, sitting here at the beginning of that journey, I realise there is a different path I must follow. This entails not a simple exploration of a single river, or the fish I might catch from it, but an understanding of what it is that makes someone an angler – what it is that makes me an angler. … Although I don’t always need a rod in my hand to feel as if I belong by the riverside, it was angling that helped open my eyes. And as I sit here, I can hear the river calling me, bubbling up from deep underground, sharing its secrets.’From childhood memories of an Exmoor stream and of the Itchen during difficult teenage years, to finding solace on the banks of the Kennet and the catharsis of a storm on the Jurassic Coast, Rivers Run is a love letter from Kevin Parr to the rivers and waterways that shaped him.

But it’s also a book about living, surviving the difficult times and remembering to breathe. ‘A moving treatise on the way we deal with the dark things that life throws at us’ - BBC Countryfile magazine‘I very much enjoyed this book ... thoughtful and interesting’ - Mark Avery, author of Inglorious

The Cuckoo's Lea
A BBC WILDLIFE BEST BOOK OF 2025‘Magical … No journey in Britain will be quite the same again.’ The GuardianBirds have long inspired our emotional and imaginative connections to physical environments, but where did it all begi? idden in the names of English towns and villages, in copses, fields, lanes and hills, are the ghostly traces of birds conjuring powerful identities for people in ancient landscapes. What are their stories and secrets? How did people encounter birds over a thousand years ago? In The Cuckoo’s Lea, Michael J. Warren sets out on the trail of these ghosts. Captivated and guided by the secrets of place names, he finds their stories entangled with his own explorations of places through birds all across England. The past is hauntingly and movingly present on timeless marshes where curlews cry, where goshawks are breeding again for the first time in centuries, through silent cuckoo-woods lost under concrete sprawl, in the winter roosts of corvids and an owl village that vanished centuries ago. Weaving together early literature, history and ornithology, this book takes readers on a journey far into the past to contemplate the nature of place and to discover a fascinating heritage that matters deeply to us now when so many places and their birds are threatened or already gone.
Bird Dog Days, Wingshooting Ways
An expanded edition of Rutledge's stories on game-bird hunting and devoted canine companions Archibald Rutledge has long been recognized as one of the finest sporting scribes this country has ever produced. A prolific writer who specialized in stories on nature and hunting, over the course of a long and prolific career Rutledge produced more than fifty books of poetry and prose, held the position of South Carolina's poet laureate for thirty-three years, and garnered numerous honorary degrees and prizes for his writings. In this revised and expanded edition of Bird Dog Days, Wingshooting Ways, noted outdoor writer Jim Casada draws together Rutledge's stories on the southern heartland, deer hunting, turkey hunting, and Carolina Christmas hunts and traditions. This collection, first published in 1998, turns to Rutledge's writings on two subjects near and dear to his heart that he understood with an intimacy growing out of a lifetime of experience—upland bird hunting and hunting dogs. Its contents range from delightful tales of quail and grouse hunts to pieces on special dogs and some of their traits. Bird Dog Days, Wingshooting Ways also includes a long fictional piece, "The Odyssey of Bolio," which shows that Rutledge's literary mastery extended beyond simple tales for outdoorsmen.
