Beskrivning
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 to its underlying ethics and philosophy as it continues to evolve in the 21st century. IIt takes readers on a global journey in search of the ultimate quarry species, sharing methods and motivations through the hawking experiences of those who pursue 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 reflects the falconers' pride in the sport's traditions and their enthusiasm for its future development and evolution as a living heritage.

Mer information

Patrick Morel is renowned worldwide as a master falconer. He has an innate sense of hunting, is a modest expert on 'grande quete' pointing dogs (particularly English pointers) and is himself a fine shot. He is the former President of the Belgian Association of Falconry (Club Marie de Bourgogne), and previously served as President of the International Association for Falconry, where he played a key role in uniting 60 countries that practice falconry. Patrick's idea and initiative, along with the teamwork of equally passionate experts, led to the official classification of falconry as 'intangible cultural heritage' during the UNESCO General Assembly on November 16, 2010. The French edition of the Art of Falconry, published in 2013, has been a bestseller and recognised as the best book on Falconry hunting in French.

Recensioner i media

"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.
