{IPG} A Sweet, Wild Note What We Hear When the Birds Sing Richard Smyth

Summary Birdsong is woven into culture, emotions, and landscape. It is the soundtrack to our world, shaping experiences of place and belonging. We have tried to capture this fleeting, ephemeral beauty, and the feelings it inspires, for millennia. In this rich and insightful account, Richard Smyth asks what it is about birdsong that we so love, exploring the myriad ways in which it has influenced literature, music, and art, our feelings about the natural world, and our very ideas of what it means to be human. Does the song-thrush mean to sing "a full-hearted evensong/Of joy illimited," as he does in Hardy’s poem "The Darkling Thrush?" Examining his own conflicted love of birdsong, Smyth’s nuanced investigation shows that what we hear says as much about us, our dreams and desires, as it does about the birds and their songs. At a time when birdsong is growing quieter, with fewer voices, Elliott & Thompson more thinly spread, this beautiful book is a celebration of the complex relationships between birds, 9781783963140 people, and landscape; it is also a passionate call to arms and an invitation to act lest our trees and Pub Date: 1/1/18 Ship Date: 1/1/18 hedges... $19.95/$26.95 Can./€17.99 EU Contributor Bio Discount Code: LON Richard Smyth is a writer, researcher, and editor.

Cerulean Blues A Personal Search for a Vanishing Songbird Katie Fallon

Summary Taking the reader from the mountains of Appalachia to a coffee plantation near Bogotá, Colombia, this investigation into the plight of the cerulean warbler—a tiny migratory songbird—describes its struggle to survive in ever-shrinking bands of suitable habitat. This elusive creature—a favorite among bird watchers and the fastest-declining warbler species in the United States—has lost three percent of its total population each year since 1966. This precipitous decline means that today there are 80 percent fewer ceruleans than 40 years ago, and their numbers continue to drop because of threats including deforestation, global warming, and mountaintop-removal coal mining. With scientific rigor and a sense of wonder, Fallon charts their path across more than 2000 miles and Ruka Press shows how the fate of a creature weighing less than an ounce is vitally linked to that of our own. 9780983011118 Pub Date: 11/1/11 Contributor Bio $17.95/$19.95 Can.

The Life of the Robin Voted Britain's National Bird David Lack

Summary The Robin has now been voted Britain’s favorite bird—a friendly presence in thousands of gardens, year round. Its life was hardly understood when David Lack—who has been called Britain’s most influential ornithologist—started his scientific observations of robins while a schoolteacher at Dartington. It was Lack who established that robins sing to defend their territory; that males will fight to the death but will also feed injured opponents; that couples will court and mate but then ignore each other; that most robins will die in any given year. The book he wrote is a landmark in natural history, not just for discoveries that changed ornithology, but because of the approachable style, sharpened with an acute wit. It reads as freshly and as fascinatingly today as when it was first Pallas Athene written. No one who has ever enjoyed the company of a robin in their garden or on a walk will want to 9781843681205 be without this book. Unavailable for many years, this classic work includes postscripts by the Pub Date: 2/1/16 author’s son, Peter Lack, and by the doyen of robin studies today, David Harper.
