Download or read book Swan Songs written by Alexandra Moss Zannis and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2014-07-26 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I have given this book of poems the title Swan Songs since, as it implies, swan song means the last appearance of someone or some thing. I don't plan to publish another book of poetry and for that reason this title. A well-known poet once said something to the effect, "If a poet writes one memorial poem in his lifetime, he should be happy," and since this is my third book, I feel I have little more to offer. In this book, you will find many subjects, most of which I have encountered and about which I wrote a poem. Some are humorous, but the majority are thoughtful and serious. I hope you will take the time to read the poems whose titles draw your interest.

Download or read book Introducing the Medieval Swan written by Natalie Jayne Goodison and published by University of Wales Press. This book was released on 2022-07-15 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Birds have always been a popular and accessible subject, but most books about medieval birds are an overview of their symbolism generally: owl for ill-omen, the pelican as a Eucharistic image and the like. The unique selling point of this book is to focus on one bird and explore it in detail from medieval reality to artistic concept. This book also traces how and why the medieval perception of the swan shifted from hypocritical to courtly within the medieval period. With special attention to ‘The Knight of the Swan’, the book traces the rise and popularity of the medieval swan through literature, history, courtly practices, and art. The book uses thoroughly readable language to appeal to a wide audience and explains some of the reasons why the swan holds such resonance today by covering views of the swan from classic to early modern times.

Download or read book The Whooper Swan written by Mark Brazil and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2010-01-31 with total page 521 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first ever monograph on the Whooper Swan. This species is found in the northern Palearctic and is the world's most widely distributed swan. It is a familiar bird in northern Europe and across Asia to the far East, and is particularly noticeable when migrating between breeding and wintering grounds in large, noisy flocks. This migratory behaviour makes it a powerful symbol of seasonal change, and this, together with the bird's beautiful appearance, make it a popular subject of folklore and legend. For much of its range the Whooper Swan is the archetypal 'wild swan', and its voice and appearance is deeply evocative of time and place. This book looks at all aspects of the life and times of this enchanting bird. The book includes chapters on taxonomy, population, range and distribution, diet, breeding biology, behaviour, migratory behaviour and longevity, as well as taking a look at the swan's associations with our own species in history and legend and throughout its geographic range. This book is a brilliantly readable and exhaustively researched monograph. It is illustrated throughout with numerous photographs and line drawings, illustrating various aspects of the species' behaviour and morphology. It will appeal greatly to all those with an interest in birdwatching, especially those who already know something of this wonderful and inspirational bird.

Download or read book Sky Stories written by Roger Ptak and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 1998 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of the constellations, the patterns of stars found in the night sky, are connected with the ancient myths which people developed to give meaning to what they saw in the sky, based on the experience of their culture. The ideas of modern astronomy play a similar role for us today. They are stories which help us understand the phenomena we discover when we look deeper into the sky than is possible with eyes alone. In this book, the ancient sky stories and those of modern astronomy are woven together in a unique way. Coverage includes twenty-four important constellations as well as the sun and the moon and the sky as a whole. For each of these, one of the old stories is tied together with the astronomical understanding of a key feature in that part of the sky, allowing one story to serve as a reminder for the other.
