Falcons have been a source of inspiration to writers, artists, historians and naturalists alike.In a much-anticipated volume on one of Britain’s most fascinating group of birds, Richard Sale draws on a wealth of experience and research, providing a comprehensive natural history of the four British breeding falcons. The book takes each of the four breeding species in turn (Kestrel, Merlin, Hobby and Peregrine Falcon), exploring its form, habitat, breeding biology and status, along with a chapter on the hunting techniques of each species.

This book celebrates the Arctic, exploring the natural history that has so inspired generations.
Early travellers to the Arctic brought back tales of amazing creatures and of the endurance required of visitors, the Arctic becoming a land of inspiration and imagination. Adventurers test themselves against it. Its wildlife still amazes – when film and television show Earth’s natural wonders it is always the polar regions that draw the biggest audiences. But today the Arctic is in retreat. Humanity’s relentless exploitation of the Earth’s resources in the pursuit of progress has, it seems, altered the climate and threatens the ice and ice-living organisms. It is a cliché that the loss of a species diminishes us, but it is true nonetheless. Even to people who have never seen a Polar Bear its loss will be immeasurable as the bear is iconic, both defining and reflecting the Arctic.
This Traveller’s Guide is designed to give visitors a handy identification guide to the wildlife they might see as they travel around, including stunning photography and detailed descriptions of each species.

The ruins of Tintagel, Bodmin Moor, the legendary Jamaica Inn at Bolventor and the prehistoric sites of Penwith are some of the points of interest in this guide. The walks have been chosen to encompass all aspects of the south-west peninsula, its history, archaeology, folklore and natural history. It contains some of the most varied scenery to be found in the British Isles. Exmoor offers a landscape of heather uplands and precipitous wooded valleys, famous as the land of Lorna Doone. Dartmoor, by contrast, has the stark beauty of wild moorland and high weathered tors. Between and around these moors are the softer counties of Somerset, Devon and Cornwall with their pretty villages, while the historic coastline boasts Britain's longest official coast-path, leading the walker along dramatic granite cliffs pounded by Atlantic breakers.
