Book excerpt: Pigeon shooting enjoys an ever increasing popularity and is still relatively cheap to practise.

Above all, pigeon shooting is a hunt for wild game and the pitting of a hunter's wits against a worthy quarry. John Batley is a leading authority on the subject of the woodpigeon and this book explains every aspect of pigeon shooting, including fieldcraft, reconnaissance, where to shoot, the best times to expect success and how to plan and execute a day's sport. The construction and practicalities of different types of hide are explained and the use of decoys and methods of luring the birds to within range are covered in detail.

Firearms: An Illustrated History showcases over 300 firearms including pistols, revolvers, rifles, shotguns, machine-guns, and artillery, each with annotated close-up photographs and details of their origins, barrel, and caliber. It details the use of the firearms, not just in the military but for sport, hunting, and law enforcement. This comprehensive volume traces the history of firearms, highlighting "turning points" such as the rifle with its parallel spiraled groves that could impart a spin to bullets making them fly straighter. It also showcases iconic firearms such as the Walther PPK self-loading pistol popularised in James Bond films.
