David Attenborough 17336

Adventures of a Young Naturalist

Hodder & Stoughton, 2018. Paperback. Pp: 398. THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'A charming period piece' Times'This is a great book for anyone who wants to vicariously travel like an old-fashioned adventurer and seeks to understand how far we have come in developing a protective attitude to wildlife.' New York Times'A marvellous book. unputdownable. utterly engaging' Telegraph In 1954, a young television presenter named David Attenborough was offered the opportunity of a lifetime - to travel the world finding rare and elusive animals for London Zoo's collection, and to film the expeditions for the BBC. Now 'the greatest living advocate of the global ecosystem' this is the story of the voyages that started it all. Staying with local tribes while trekking in search of giant anteaters in Guyana, Komodo dragons in Indonesia and armadillos in Paraguay, he and the rest of the team battled with cannibal fish, aggressive tree porcupines and escape-artist wild pigs, as well as treacherous terrain and unpredictable weather, to record the incredible beauty and biodiversity of these regions. The methods may be outdated now, but the fascination and respect for the wildlife, the people and the environment - and the importance of protecting these wild places - is not. Written with his trademark wit and charm, Adventures of a Young Naturalist is not just the story of a remarkable adventure, but of the man who made us fall in love with the natural world, and who is still doing so today.

The Aesthetics of Contemporary Planting Design

Oro Editions, 2021. Linnen band. Pp: 288. Planting design is, rather obviously, a complex topic, spanning as it does art, science, social need, and morality-especially during these days of increasing planetary environmental threat. Although certainly not denying the importance of scientifically appropriate practices, the symposium "The Aesthetics of [Contemporary] Planting Design" addressed planting design today, proposing a renewed concern for the cultural and aesthetic aspects of the landscapes that result. This book, which has been developed from the original presentations at the symposium, presents the thoughts of a select international group of landscape architects and historians who discuss the subject of planting design through the lens of their own work as well as the work of others, both contemporary and historical. They suggest that, as in real estate, the most important factor in selecting plants is "location, location, location." Certainly the Californian situation is far more forgiving than the aridity and other restrictive environmental conditions endemic to the Sonoran desert, or the frost and short growing seasons of Nordic lands that direct Scandinavian landscape architects to rely on native birches, pines, rowan, and moss. Most of us would agree that there are plants sensible for each climatic zone. Addressing environmental conditions is but the first step in the equation, however. There are also the issues of combination and composition.

Agaporniden

Zuid Boekprodukties. Hardback. Pp: 127. Het complete assortiment van de agapornidensoorten (kleine Afrikaanse papegaaiachtigen) komt aan de orde. De schrijfster doet dit met vaart en slaat geen enkele onderdeel van de verzorging van deze prachtig gekleurde vogels over. Ze volgt met grote nauwkeurigheid de totale verzorging en laat ons kennismaken met de grote verscheidenheid aan kleuren, waar steeds meer varieteiten bijkomen vanwege de gemakkelijke kruisingen welke tussen de vele agapornidensoorten onderling mogelijk blijken te zijn, hoewel er toch ook gewaarschuwd wordt voor overmatige toepassing ervan omdat daardoor de kans bestaat dat op den duur de nominaat zou kunnen verdwijnen. Alle negen agapornidensoorten worden besproken en in kleurenfoto's afgebeeld, alsmede verschillende mutaties ervan. Ziekten, kweek, afwijkingen, gedrag en socialisatie komen ruimschoots aan bod waarin vooral wordt gewezen op het feit dat een 'love bird', zoals ze ook worden genoemd, zonder gezelschap van een soortgenoot spoedig zal verpieteren. Dit prima uitgevoerd naslagwerk bevat aan het eind tien adressen van Nederlands-Belgische vogelbonden en speciaalclubs. ISBN: 9789058410160. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
