This is a chronicle of encounters with a lot of bird books, in fact a lifetime of such encounters.The world of bird books is vast and varied, defying coherent description. The author's qualificationfor making this attempt to describe it is that he owns several hundred of them, gathered over morethan 70 years. To help make sense of this obsession, the describing of the books is linked to a life inwhich traditional birdwatching (and book hunting) went on, in different places, and in betweenother things. Some non-bird experiences are recounted, to show this is the story of a real person.If further qualification for authorship is needed it is surely the distinction of having been bitten, quiteseriously, while birdwatching, by a fox. Who else, among today's legion of bird-book creators, canclaim that badge? Apart from that event, and no less damaging an experience, the author has triedto chair a committee that recommends names for Australian birds.More than 100 images are assembled to tell their own story: birds, people, places, book inscriptions,scenes. There are chapters about New Guinea, cassowaries, the fabled Ibis of ancient Egypt, birdsand national boundaries, field guides, the bird art of Ellis Rowan (the Australian flower painter),quests and challenges, the uses of bird photography, and some things that are no longer as certainas they once were.

This memoir offers stories of a surprising fall from an ordinary life into a completely new relationship with nature, following an unexpected path. Kathy Knight had no intention of creating a sanctuary when she bought her country house, but then a lone rooster appeared. Soon other creatures joined the rooster... chickens, doves and above all pigeons. Each one needed a home. As the Sanctuary grew, there were more individual birds to know and care for, and it became clear these "people with feathers" were citizens of a new and fascinating world. Enjoy the journey!

"At a personal and professional crossroads, a man resets his life and finds sobriety, love, and 618 bird species, cycling his way to a very Big Year. In Birding Under the Influence, Dorian Anderson, a neuroscience researcher on a pressure-filled life trajectory, walks away from the world of elite institutions, research labs, and academic publishing. In doing so, he falls in love and discovers he has freed himself to embrace his lifelong passion for birding. A North American Big Year-a continent-spanning adventure in which a birder attempts to see as many species as possible in twelve months-is a massive undertaking under any circumstances. But doing it on a bike while maintaining sobriety? That's next level. As Dorian pedals across the country, describing the birds he sees, he confronts the challenges of long-distance cycling: treacherous weather, punctured tires, speeding cars, and injury. He encounters eccentric characters, blistering blacktop, dreary hotel rooms, snarling dogs, and an endless sea of smoking tailpipes. He also confronts his past struggles with alcohol, drugs, and risky behaviors that began in high school and followed him into adulthood. Birding Under the Influence is a candid, honest look at Dorian's double life of academic accomplishment and addiction. While his journey to recovery is simultaneously poignant and inspiring, it is ultimately his love of birds and nature that provides the scaffolding to build a new and radically different life"--

Deep Listening to Nature is an invitation to open our ears to the natural world.Beginning by tuning in to the sounds of creatures around us, Andrew discusses how to identify species by call, interpret their communications and find empathy for their sentience.Part reflection, part nature and travel diary, Andrew asks the question: What does listening reveal about how the living systems of nature function, and why do birds in particular negotiate their interactions in such lyrical and extraordinary ways?He concludes by suggesting we not only listen to learn about nature, but learn from nature. He asks how, in our current environmental crisis, we may mimic what the biosphere has achieved in sustaining life as we move toward an ecological future and in doing so, form a deeper and more personal connection to Country.Andrew encourages us to be still and listen. Extend our senses. Let nature get to know us, and in its own way, to welcome us.The book is accompanied by an online soundtrack with 300 audio recordings, which bring the text to life.
