Bird Lore


From bestselling author, Sally Coulthard, comes this charmingly illustrated guide to our favorite feathered friends and the myths and folklore that surround their lives. Even today, birds are hugely symbolic. From songbirds to seagulls, nightingales to morning larks, we still use the cultural language of the avian world. Doves bring peace, storks carry newborn babies. Robins mark Christmas, hens Easter. Blackbirds and thrushes herald the dawn, owls welcome in the night. Even in our modern, rational world, magpies and peacocks still invite superstitions. In her new book, Sally takes a fascinating flight through the myths, magic and meaning of birds. Covering 50 well-loved avian species from across the world, she glides through their folklore, legends and symbolism. From common sayings to strange superstitions, ancient beliefs to modern celebrations, this gloriously illustrated and international guide reveals that Bird Lore is as alive and vibrant as it ever was.

The Folklore of Birds


Did you know that it''s considered a sin to harm a robin? Or that seagulls were once thought to be the souls of dead sailors? And do you know what happens if you listen to a blackbird’s song on May Day?With The Folklore of Birds you can discover the fascinating folklore behind nature’s most intriguing animals.At once familiar and unknowable, birds have for centuries provided a rich source of speculation and myth-making. From the Catholic belief that barnacle geese were actually fish (and could therefore be eaten on the Sabbath) to the Ancient Greek tale of Ceyx and Halcyone who were transformed into kingfishers after death as reward for their fidelity, our feathered friends have given rise to an astonishingly rich body of myth, legend and superstition.With its interesting titbits and curious facts coupled with breathtakingly beautiful illustrations, The Folklore of Birds is charming, quirky gift for the birdwatcher in your life.

The Believer


The author of the instant fishing classic The Optimist shares new wisdom, humor, and experience in seven extraordinary fly-fishing expeditions??an engaging personal journey about finding what you need to find and keeping it in your heart? (Kirkus Reviews).In The Optimist, David Coggins tackled the techniques of fly-fishing and meditated on its virtues, recounting his triumphs and failures. Now, in The Believer, he deftly mixes travel, local cultures, further fishing challenges (some knee-buckling in their disappointment), and details his own experience as life and love crowd his time to fish. Self-consciously?and self-deprecatingly?Coggins embarks on seven far-flung fishing voyages, away from screens and social media, not answering his phone, and reveling in humanity?s undying yearning for a quest, for the rituals and rites of passage that mark transition. For Coggins, these journeys?to Norway, Scotland, Spain, Cuba, and Argentina, as well as road trips to Wyoming, Tennessee, and the Catskills?not only showcase his skill as an angler but also signal the end of his fly-fishing youth. But that doesn?t mean that Coggins will sell all his rods and hang up his hat; rather, his relationship with his fly-fishing obsession will evolve?especially if he can catch an elusive salmon or a ferociously strong tarpon or the mercurial permit. The Believer is a humble, humorous call for the journey that is as enriching as the destination, where the search for greater self-awareness leads to patience, observation, and endurance. And, since this is fly-fishing, after all, there?s always the possibility of abject failure and leaping, glorious reward. Wry, entertaining, thoughtful, and relatable, The Believer is ?a wonderful example of how well angling can weave us into the world? (Gray?s Sporting Journal) and will hook both anglers and non-anglers alike.

A vadászat


A vadászat, az a legnemesebb férfias sport, melynek gyakorlására sok kedvező alkalmunk van s melyben világviszonylatba is letagadhatatlanul elsők vagyunk. Nem akarom - hosszadalmas is lenne - felsorolni azoknak a neveit, kik galamblövő világversenyeken, külföldi, tropikus vadászatokon szereztek sok dicsőséget a magyar vadászpuskának és tudománynak, csupán azt említem meg, hogy utóbbi időben sok alakalmunk nyílt a nyugati nagy államok jobb vadászaival együtt áldozni Diana istenasszonynak s Európa legbüszkébb nemzetének fiai jelentették ki, hogy tudomásuk volt a magyar vadász fölényéről, de azt, hogy ily nagy a különbség, nem gondolták. Mi úgyszólván vadásznak születünk, egymástól tanuljuk el a vadászat tudományát. Több vadásztársam kérésére, nehezen vettem kezembe a tollat, hogy egy szerény, hézagpótló vadászkönyvet írjak; éreztem, hogy sok magyar vadász többet tud nálamnál, de még lustább író, mint én. így bízva örökölt vadászképességemben, egy emberi élet lefolyása alatt gyűjthető elméleti és gyakorlati ismereteimben, jó barátaim támogatásában és olvasóim jóindulatában, útnak indítom e kis munkát. A könyv az 1935-ös kiadás reprint változata.

Whistling in the Dark


Eminent and highly respected nature writer Richard Mabey regards Whistling in the Dark as one of his Top Ten most significant books. After being exceptionally well-received on publication, it remains the only title from his collection that is no longer in print, and the timing feels perfect to bring this cherished text back into circulation as a classic edition.Nightingales have acquired a newly high profile in the past couple of years, as a consequence of revelations about the collapse in their numbers and renewed interest on their cultural history. Each May there are now radio programmes broadcasting - sometimes live - songs and readings from woods in southern England.This new and fully revised edition of Whistling in the Dark promises to be richer than ever, featuring:New first-hand accounts of nightingale performances, capturing their ethereal beauty at home and across the globe.Insightful explorations into the bird’s recent population changes, unveiling possible causes behind their mysterious decline.A newly uncovered story detailing how the nightingale’s song featured in the iconic 1924 live BBC broadcast with cellist Beatrice Harrison was, in reality, the work of a remarkably talented human bird mimic.Cutting-edge scientific and philosophical perspectives on the profound relationship between birdsong and music.Whistling in the Dark will be accompanied by an enhanced audiobook adaptation with sound inserts – not just the nightingale’s song itself, but also medieval songs inspired by the bird, the poignant BBC recording of a nightingale singing amid the roar of bombers during WWII, and Messiaen’s evocative piano piece from Les Oiseaux.Praise for Whistling in the DarkA book so delightful I must share it. It is poetry and prose, natural history, memoir, myth and music...and is full of the same darting rhythms as that mysterious bird.Simon Jenkins, The TimesA pure pleasure to read. It stimulates, nudges, tells stories, argues and gleefully offends...I cannot remember liking a book about nature as much as this for years...It is a small classic.Peter Levi, Spectator What he accomplishes is exquisite and illuminating, itself a sort of nightingale''s song, variously throttling back for a sub-theme, then ingeniously improvising or swelling to full measure.Euan Dunn, The CountrymanMabey''s engaging book quests through fact, fantasy, zoological data...the contents move, inform and reward.Naomi Lewis, ObserverMabey is one of our best nature writers and he has produced a delightful book, as enlightening as it is uplifting...he has come up with some extraordinary accounts of the nightingale''s power to enchant.John Preston, Sunday Telegraph

Birds at Rest


A wide-ranging account of how birds spend the quiet half of their livesBirds at Rest is the first book to give a full picture of how birds rest, roost, and sleep, a vital part of their lives. It features new science that can measure what is happening in a bird’s brain over the course of a night or when it has flown to another hemisphere, as well as still-valuable observations by legendary naturalists such as John James Audubon, Alfred Russel Wallace, and Theodore Roosevelt. Much of what they saw and what ornithologists are studying today can be observed and enjoyed by any birder. From the poles to the tropics, how, when, and where birds sleep reflect the ecology and behavior of each species, as well as their evolution from dinosaur ancestors. Some sleep briefly, their brain half awake, others spend long cold nights in torpor, and a few can sleep while flying. Their roosting habits are also varied. Most birds sleep alone, some in pairs or families, while others in flocks of millions. Birds at Rest explains how each strategy works over the course of a season, a year, or a lifetime by providing protection, mating opportunities, information about food, and other survival benefits. With evocative drawings by artist and illustrator Margaret La Farge, Birds at Rest discusses how environmental challenges such as artificial lights and noise, invasive species, and climate change are disrupting avian sleep and proposes solutions to ensure that birds get the rest they need.

Hunt for the Shadow Wolf


Longlisted for the Wainwright Prize 2024 for Nature Writing????? The Telegraph‘One of the most remarkable figures in British conservation.’ The Observer‘There have been several books on the fate of British wolves, but this is the best.’ The Spectator‘Beautifully crafted, fascinating and unbearably poignant, I totally loved this book.’ Isabella Tree, author of Wilding''A dazzling romp through the turbulent history of wolves in Britain.'' Lee Schofield, author of Wild Fell''Gow''s anecdotes will leave you howling - and his historical detective work to track down the shadow of the wolf is as gripping as any thriller.'' Guy Shrubsole, author of The Lost Rainforests of Britain‘Gow reinvents what it means to be a guardian of the countryside.’ GuardianAuthor of Bringing Back the Beaver and Britain’s favourite maverick rewilder Derek Gow embarks on an adventure to uncover the mythology, mystery and history of wolves in Britain.Derek Gow’s dream is that one day we will see the return of the wolf to Britain. Wolf rewilding projects have been successfully implemented across the world – so what is holding us back in the UK?Hunt for the Shadow Wolf is Derek’s quest to uncover the true nature of this magnificent creature. As Derek worked to reintroduce the beaver, he began to hear stories of the wolf, both real and mythical, and his fascination with it grew. He pieced together fragments of information, stories and artefacts to reveal a shadowy creature that first walked proud through these lands and then was hunted to extinction.What Derek came to realise was that the underlying motives behind our hatred were actually rooted in power and profit. We turned the wolf into a savage beast and saw its extirpation as a civilising mission. But the wolf endured and Derek tells of his sightings through folklore and mythology, the records of grand estates and parish churches as well as wolf heads, both real and recreated.With bitingly funny but also tender stories, Hunt for the Shadow Wolf makes clear why we must reconcile our relationship with this majestic animal before we can begin to bring it back to these lands.‘Gow has a fire in his belly. We need more like him.’ BBC Wildlife Magazine

Wild Fishing


Redefining the angling experience by focusing on the beauty of remote, natural environments and native fish species, this new guide moves away from commercial fisheries and overstocked ponds to introduce the reader to wild fishing. Those who are keen to follow this more sustainable, eco-conscious and affordable approach will find the book packed with detailed information on accessing hundreds of magnificent wild fishing spots across the UK, many of them free or only requiring low-cost permits. rom tranquil rivers to wild, rugged coastlines, the guide highlights the joys of such hidden gems as the River Wandle, in London, where anglers can cast their lines in the same waters once fished by Admiral Nelson, along with Chesil Beach, in Dorset, where deep waters can be reached just metres from shore, and the River Test, in Winchester, where anglers can fish for free along one of England’s most famous chalk streams. In Wales, the mystical Llyn Ogwen, in Snowdonia, offers wild brown trout and a backdrop steeped in Arthurian legend while other remote sites include Loch Maree, in Wester Ross, where sea trout can be fished against the looming drama of Slioch, a Munro. For those seeking a coastal adventure, Pembrokeshire’s wild shores provide a unique opportunity to fish from the cliffs of Ceibwr Bay. Here, anglers might spot porpoises while waiting for sea trout to bite. Further south, the rugged beauty of Cornwall’s coastline offers thrilling night fishing, casting for bass under the stars. An invitation to reconnect with nature as much as it is a guide to landing the catch, whether you dream of hiking through remote mountain valleys, fishing from the edge of a secluded lake, or casting a line into deep coastal waters, this guide offers an unparalleled introduction to Britain’s 700 most spectacular, lesser-known and wildest fishing locations.
