Book excerpt: "In 1830 in Edinburgh a meeting occurred that was to lay the foundations of ornithology in Britain and the United States. John James Audubon was a famous American naturalist and bird artist, looking for an assistant to transcribe his notes; William MacGillivray was an obscure teacher and journalist, obsessed by the natural world and determined to make his name in ornithology. The two men formed a friendship that led to ten frantic years of writing, painting and travelling, culminating in the publication of MacGillivray's masterwork, A History of British Birds. He never recovered from the hostile critical reception the first volumes of the work received, and, lonely and depressed after Audubon's return to America, he spent the last years of his life teaching and reviewing. He lived just long enough to see the publication of the final volume of his life's work." "Today MacGillivray is celebrated by many as one of the first ecologists, while A History of British Birds in many ways anticipates Darwin's The Origin of Species. His illustrations were among the first to show wild animals and birds as living creatures inhabiting their own environment, rather than as dead specimens, and their delicacy and accuracy ensure that his work is at least the equal of the more famous Audubon's. This beautifully designed book is the first fully illustrated treatment of MacGillivray's art, restoring him to his rightful place at the forefront of natural history artists."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “This illuminating book serves as homage to a brilliant naturalist and extraordinary birds. If you loved H Is for Hawk, put this next on your reading list.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) From the merlin to the golden eagle, the goshawk to the honey buzzard, James Macdonald Lockhart’s stunning debut is a quest of beak, talon, wing, and sky. On its surface, Raptor is a journey across the British Isles in search of fifteen species of birds of prey, but as Lockhart seeks out these elusive predators, his quest becomes so much more: an incomparably elegant elegy on the beauty of the British landscape and, through the birds, a journey toward understanding an awesome power at the heart of the natural world—a power that is majestic and frightening in its strength, but also fragile. Linking his journey to that of his muse—nineteenth-century Scottish naturalist and artist William MacGillivray—Lockhart shares his own encounters with raptors ranging from the scarce osprey to the successfully reintroduced red kite, a species once protected by medieval royal statute, revealing with poetic immediacy the extraordinary behaviors of these birds and the extreme environments they call home. Creatures both worshipped and reviled, raptors have a talon-hold on the human heart and imagination. With his book, Lockhart unravels these complicated ties in a work by turns reverent and euphoric—an interweaving of history, travel, and nature writing at its best. A hymn to wanderers, to the land and to the sky, and especially to the birds, Raptor soars. “Lockhart’s soaring debut is a perfect synthesis of travel writing and natural history.” —Financial Times
