Synopsis
The author's vast falconry experience, combined with that of his fellow contributors, make this volume knowledge-heavy yet light and entertaining in style. It covers all aspects of modern falconry, from the traditions that shaped the sport we know today to its underpinning ethics and philosophy as it continues to evolve in the 21st century. It takes the reader around the globe in search of ultimate quarry species, relating methods and motives through the hawking experiences of those who seek the most challenging flights in their art. Scottish red grouse and Belgian crows; houbara hawking with gyrfalcons and sakers; wood pigeon hawking with peregrines and goshawks; sand grouse, snipe and sage grouse with high-flying falcons: this book gives the falconer pride in the sport's traditions and enthusiasm for the future development and evolution of this living heritage.

"I genuinely cannot recommend this book too highly to anyone who really loves falconry and shares the passion for it that so obviously shines through from the author". Bob Dalton, World of Falconry; "This magnificent book will be a 'must have' addition to many falconers bookshelves" The Austringer, Journal of The Welsh Hawking Club; "This book, written by one of Europe's preeminent falconers and a man who has dedicated his life to our "Art", is a celebration of Falconry, examining its history, culture, varieties of practice and its global diversity. This is a beautiful publication which deserves pride of place on any falconer's bookshelf." Adrian Lombard, International Association for Falconry and the Conservation of Birds of Prey.
