Thinking with Birds

A Life In Nature is a portrait of Sie Peter Scott collected from his own conversations, articles and broadcasts including thoughts on Conservation, expeditions to Lapland and Africa, his travels in Europe and much more. Illustrated by Peter's own beautiful illustrations.

'The Patron Saint of Conservation' Sir David Attenborough 'Peter Scott was a huge influence on my childhood...Later on in life I had the good fortune both to meet and to interview him, and he remains, for me, a hero. His knowledge, his kindness to me and his generosity of spirit have remained an influence in my own sphere of natural history....To meet one's heroes can sometimes be a let-down. That was most certainly not the case with Peter Scott.' Alan Titchmarsh A Life In Nature is a portrait of Peter Scott collected from his own conversations, articles and broadcasts including thoughts on on Conservation, expeditions to Lapland and Africa, his travels in Europe and much more. This republished edition has a new foreword by the former Chairman of the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust, explaining Sir Peter Scott's legacy and how he is one of the most important names in conservation and nature, and how his thoughts on our planet are more relevant than ever before. Sir Peter Scott was also known as an exceptional artist and painter, and this book is illustrated with his beautiful paintings of birds. Sir Peter Scott had a truly incredible life. He was the only son of legendary explorer Captain Scott. His godfather was JM Barrie and he was married to Elizabeth Jane Howard. He also represented Great Britain and Northern Ireland at sailing in the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games, winning a bronze medal. He founded the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust and also helped to found the Worldwide Fund for Nature. This is a beautiful and timely re-discovered book, perfect for those who are interested in preserving our planet.

A Life In Nature

»Ein Gewitter kommt selten allein.«
 - 
 
 Was Wolken übers Wetter verraten
 
 
 
 Wann haben wir das letzte Mal bewusst unseren Blick gen Himmel erhoben, die Wolken betrachtet und nicht aufs Handy gestarrt
 
 Dabei könnten sie uns so viel erzählen. Vincenzo Levizzani, Wolkenphysiker und Atmosphärenforscher, nimmt uns mit in seine Welt. Er erklärt nicht nur, wie (und woraus) Wolken entstehen, sondern auch warum sie so viel übers Wetter und Klima verraten. Was sind Hydrometeore? Was passiert bei einem Superzellengewitter? Wie entsteht der in Gruselfilmen beliebte Strahlungsnebel? Warum hagelt es? Und wieso bloß impft man Wolken?
 
 Das Buch ist spannend erzählte Wissenschaft und Wissenschaftsgeschichte, eine Grand Tour durchs Wolkenuniversum, die uns noch mal mehr vor Augen führt, wie komplex und fragil, aber auch wunderschön die Naturgesetze unserer Erde sind.
 
 
 
 »Ist uns eigentlich bewusst, dass wir den größten Teil unseres Lebens unter einer Wolkendecke verbringen?«

»Ein Gewitter kommt selten allein.« Was Wolken übers Wetter verraten. Ist uns eigentlich bewusst, dass wir den größten Teil unseres Lebens unter einer Wolkendecke verbringen?Vincenzo Levizzani, Wolkenphysiker und Atmosphärenforscher, nimmt uns mit in seine Welt: Er erklärt nicht nur, wie (und woraus) Wolken entstehen, sondern auch warum sie so viel übers Wetter und Klima verraten. Was sind Hydrometeore? Was passiert bei einem Superzellengewitter? Wie entsteht der in Gruselfilmen beliebte Strahlungsnebel? Warum hagelt es? Und wieso bloß impft man Wolken?Sein Buch ist eine Grand Tour durchs Wolkenuniversum, die uns eindrücklich vor Augen führt, wie komplex und fragil, aber auch wunderschön die Naturgesetze unserer Erde sind. »Ich möchte versuchen, den Kontakt zu unserem Wolkenuniversum wiederherzustellen, der uns in der Hektik des Alltags verloren gegangen ist. Die erste Frage, die wir uns dabei stellen sollten, ist vorhersehbar und für uns zugleich am interessantesten, da sie das Leben der Menschen seit Urzeiten und bis heute beeinflusst: Liefern uns die Wolken – ihre Formen und Farben, ihre Anordnung am Himmel, ihre Dichte und Höhe, ihre Struktur oder Größe – unmittelbare Informationen darüber, wie das Wetter kurz- oder mittelfristig sein wird? Eine Antwort darauf zu geben ist kompliziert, aber nicht unmöglich.« »Aus Sicht der Klimatologie sind die Wolken der gordische Knoten unseres Klimaproblems, da sie das Klima einerseits beeinflussen und andererseits vom Klima beeinflusst werden.« »Ein Buch, das Ihren Blick in den Himmel auf ewig verändern wird. Genial.«Denis Scheck, druckfrisch

"Beth Berkowitz's latest book firmly establishes her as the most innovative and compelling scholar writing on the place of animals in Jewish texts. She pushes beyond mining scripture for wisdom and helps the reader discover, alongside generations of rabbinic readers and writers, how the Bible's attention to animal families might transform our own sense of kinship today."--Aaron S. Gross, author of The Question of the Animal and Religion "Berkowitz is uniquely well-versed not only in rabbinics (her area of specialization) but also in biblical studies and animal studies. Scholars in all three of these fields will recognize her book as cutting-edge work."--Ken Stone, author of Reading the Hebrew Bible with Animal Studies

An Introduction

Human Animal Studies

A fresh appreciation of the magic of birds and how watching them fulfills a human need to connect with nature.
Enchantment by birds is commonplace. Birdwatchers merely go a step further than others and actively seek to be enchanted. This book tells why they take that extra step. It takes the reader on a series of excursions into birdwatching's past, venturing forward to the present. With an intriguing cast of characters, avian as well as human, its lively narratives explore the emotional and aesthetic impulses behind the pastime as well as its scientific and conservationist components.
Its stories of 22 Australian birds range widely: from wordy squabbles over bird names to the artistic finessing of field guides; from the Paradise Parrot's tragic fall into extinction to the everyday enjoyment of a Magpie's carol; from the evolution of citizen science to the boom in birding tourism. Interlacing them all is the insight that birdwatching is a means by which modern, urban people reach out to touch the wild. A primal desire to connect with nature lies at the heart of the pastime.
Enchantment by Birds not only offers a compelling exposition of what makes birders tick; it also tells us, imaginatively and informatively, why birds have a special place in our hearts.

Like the very best buddy movie sequel, this latest instalment is full of unforgettable experiences and loveable characters and promises to be an even more memorable ride with two of the most entertaining travel companions around.

The Stones of Britain is about how rocks make places and how our island history is written in stone.

This is the definitive tale of how our island history is written in stone. The Stones of Britain is about how rocks make places, exploring the connection between geology and landscape, the stones beneath the surface and the history that has played out above it. It movingly investigates the diverse character of the British landscape, and the rich variety of places that have come to be as a result. We discover that the shattered granite landscape of Dartmoor is different from the soft red sandstone hills of east Devon; the rolling chalk downs distinct from the gritty moors of Yorkshire - and each has a unique, fascinating story to tell. Interweaved with beautiful meditations on place, home and belonging, The Stones of Britain interprets these stories. It explains the nature of place on the island of Britain, revealing the landscape as the joint product of geology and man: an extraordinary history rooted in stone. Jon Cannon (1962-2023) was an architectural historian, lecturer and Canon Historian for Bristol Cathedral, and also worked for the Royal Commission on the Historical Monument of England and English Heritage. Unfortunately Jon passed in the process of making this book, but his passion for landscape, history and culture lives on and leaps defiantly off the page - culminating in a richly researched and hugely special offering.
