Описание:
A Falconry Manual is a comprehensive, extensively updated version of his out of print book- Hawks, Falcons and Falconry (Hancock House 1976) and The Compleat Falconer(Hancock House 1992).
Drawing on over 50 years of field experience and research, Beebe presents an exhaustive summary of the behavior, capture, and training of the-birds-of-prey. It was Beebe's field studies and practical experience that led to his pioneering successes in breeding captive falcons in the early 1960s. His artistic talents not only contribute to the concise illustrations on how to capture and train birds but how to easily make all falconry hardware.
One of the all-time best books for new Apprentices to learn about training a new hawk or falcon and one of the best selling falconry books ever produced.

Описание: BEWARE THE SPECKLED EGG. BEWARE THE MAN WHO HOLDS IT. FOR WHEN IT HATCHES, DESTRUCTION OF THE WORLD BEGINS. Osbert has lived most of his life in the church, working for the nuns, setting out the placemats, and visiting his parents' graveside. And he's always longed for the chance to see his mom and dad one last time. And that's when the strange man appears in the belfry and offers Os an egg - an egg he claims holds the legendary Phoenix. Once the Phoenix hatches, a single feather is rumored to bring life back to the dead. But when the egg does hatch, Os finds something much worse has arrived: an ancient terror that threatens to destroy not only his village, but also the known world. Now Os and his sparrowhawk have until sundown to stop the rampaging beast and save everyone they know and love.

Описание: Raised in rural England before the rise of the internet, Ben Crane grew up in the company of wild things, with hawks and other birds of prey alive in his mind--and woods and fields--as symbols of a kind of self-possessed, solitary power. He spent time with them, knew them, and loved them. But as Crane grew into adulthood, situations that may seem to many of us natural, or even comforting, were challenging: he found it difficult to be around other people and to read social cues, sometimes retreating in fear or lashing out in misunderstanding. Eventually, he was diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum. When Crane became a father, these challenges became unbearable, and he fled to isolation. Hawks brought him back. In this artful and moving memoir, we follow Crane on his remarkable journey of flight and return. Traveling from the United Kingdom to Pakistan, we learn first about the history and practice of falconry, a beautiful and brutal partnership between humans and birds that has persisted for thousands of years. And as Crane's personal story unfolds, we come to understand how he found solace and insight through his relationships with these animals. "I saw that my feelings toward nature, and birds of prey in particular, ran in parallel with my feelings for my son," Crane writes. "I worked out that they were, in fact, two sides of the same coin--the deep love of one could, with gentle observation, inform and unlock the deep love for the other. . . . Perhaps this then is the central theme of my story." Many of us rely upon animal companions to provide a sense of joy, compassion, and empathy. But as Blood Ties teaches us, our relationships with the creatures among us can also transform us, illuminating what it means both to be human and to be part of the greater wild--what it means to be alive.
