Australian Birds of Prey

Johns Hopkins University Press, 1995. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 252. The extraordinary wildlife of Australia has long held a special fascination for people throughout the world. Now international authority Penny Olsen offers the definitive work on Australia's spectacular birds of prey.With more than 300 dramatic color photographs and detailed illustrations by noted wildlife artists, Australian Birds of Prey is the ultimate guide to the ecology, predation, and behavior of these majestic animals. From the diminutive Collared Sparrowhawk to the powerful Wedge-tailed Eagle, birds of prey inhabit virtually every corner of the continent. But why is Australia considered a "land of falcons"? How has its arid climate and long isolation from other continents affected its population of raptors? Why are there no Australian vultures?In describing Australia's twenty-four species of birds of prey, Olsen relates their complex biology to the continent's unique geography and ecology. She explains why species such as the Nankeen Kestrel and Brown Falcon can range widely from coastal cliffs and river valleys to arid grasslands and wooded hillsides. She describes why others, such as the Red Goshawk, Pacific Baza, and Brahminy Kite, have ranges dramatically limited by their dependence on particular habitats and types of prey. Throughout, she focuses of important conservation issues that affect the well-being of raptors in the wild. She also describes their interactions with humans and recent advances in the care of sick and captive birds. Beautifully illustrated and uniquely authoritative, Australian Birds of Prey is a must for all ornithologists and bird lovers - and for anyone with an interest in the wonders of Australia."Birds of prey invoke a powerfulimage, at once fascinating, but never dull. For centuries, perhaps more than any other bird group they have been reviled and revered, protected and persecuted, used and abused by humans. Terms such as 'eagle-eyed' and 'soar like an eagle' have almost universal meaning, and representations of birds of prey on military and business insignia evoke feelings of power, confidence and mastery of the elements." - from Australian Birds of Prey.

A Century of Car Design

Mitchell Beazley, 2002. Gekartonneerd met stofomslag. Pp: 256. The car has been one of the most important icons of 20th-century design, whether as functional object, vision of the future or design statement. Designers, influenced by changes in technology, in society and by contemporary intellectual movements, have created some of the most forceful expressions of the integration of art and function. This book is a comprehensive history of these developments. Each chapter covers a classic era in car design, including the emergence of the luxury cars in America and Europe during the 1920s and 30s, the explosion of mass-production in the automobile industry from the 1950s, and the consumer-orientated approach of the last decades of the 20th century. The work of individual designers such as Giorgetto Giugiaro and Raymond Loewy is discussed alongside features on the evolution of styles, for instance the impact of aerodynamics on the American car of the 1930s, the German machine aesthetic exemplified by BMW and the importance of the Italian coachbuilding tradition. With over 600 photographs of some of the greatest cars ever produced, this book is aimed at both design and car enthusiasts. ISBN: 9781840004038. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.

Glass Houses

Minotaur Books, 2017. Hardcover. Pp: 400. When a mysterious figure appears in Three Pines one cold November day, Armand Gamache and the rest of the villagers are at first curious. Then wary. Through rain and sleet, the figure stands unmoving, staring ahead. From the moment its shadow falls over the village, Gamache, now Chief Superintendent of the Sûreté du Québec, suspects the creature has deep roots and a dark purpose. Yet he does nothing. What can he do? Only watch and wait. And hope his mounting fears are not realized. But when the figure vanishes overnight and a body is discovered, it falls to Gamache to discover if a debt has been paid or levied. Months later, on a steamy July day as the trial for the accused begins in Montréal, Chief Superintendent Gamache continues to struggle with actions he set in motion that bitter November, from which there is no going back. More than the accused is on trial. Gamache’s own conscience is standing in judgment. In Glass Houses, her latest utterly gripping book, number-one New York Times bestselling author Louise Penny shatters the conventions of the crime novel to explore what Gandhi called the court of conscience. A court that supersedes all others. ISBN: 9781250066190. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
