Download or read book Falcon Fever written by Tim Gallagher and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 2009-05-22 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is so compelling about falconry? Tim Gallagher mines his lifelong obsession with falcons for an answer in this engaging book interweaving memoir, history, and travelogue. A fascinating subculture of the ancient sport of falconry exists outside the mainstream of American society. Obsessed individuals train and speak in the same manner used by falconers for centuries. One of the legendary figures in that ancient world was Frederick II, the thirteenth-century Holy Roman Emperor and notorious freethinker who brought the full wrath of the medieval church down upon his dynasty. Gallagher sees parallels between his own life and that of Frederick II, and while following in Frederick's footsteps through southern Italy, he ponders the passion for falconry that ignited within him at the age of twelve. Beset by a turbulent childhood and dominated by a brutal and violent father, Gallagher turned to the sport for emotional release and found much more. Falcon Fever provides a rare glimpse into contemporary falconry, and at the same time offers a surprisingly frank and revealing personal story. Book jacket.

Download or read book Fledgling Days written by Emma Ford and published by . This book was released on 1998-06-01 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Falconry has been historically the sport of royalty and traditionally a pursuit of men. Emma Ford is neither royal nor a man, yet she is one of the most acclaimed falconers in the world today. Fledgling Days, her powerful memoir of life in the Kent countryside, where she learned from girlhood the art of falconry, is both a tale of personal discovery and a heart-warming and funny account of a country childhood. Ford's was in many ways an idyllic childhood, living in the enclosed world of the Chilham Castle estate. When, at age eight, Emma encounters her first falcon, she is mesmerized. Soon she is given Wally, a Wahlburgs Eagle almost half her size, to train, and her fascination for birds of prey turns into a lifetime's passion. She learns the ancient skills of falconry and begins to make her own collection of hawks. Her reputation as a young falconer eventually spreads to the film community and as far as Sheik Zaid of Abu Dabi, one of the world's greatest falconers, who invites Emma to his country to share her techniques with him.
