    Natuurgids - Vogelgids Birds and Mammals of the Galapagos | Lynx
    Natuurgids - Vogelgids Birds and Mammals of the Galapagos | Lynx
    The Galapagos archipelago is one of the most famous destinations on Earth for lovers of natural history. Straddling the equator in the Pacific Ocean c. 1000 km west of Ecuador lies ‘the world’s natural laboratory’ with its large radiations of mockingbirds and Darwin’s finches. These remote islands of volcanic origin have been colonized by a remarkable and diverse wildlife, many of the animals being quite fearless of man. With 33 endemic bird species plus 12 endemic subspecies, and six endemic mammals, the islands are unsurprisingly popular with birders and general naturalists alike. This comprehensive field guide covers all of the birds and mammals known to occur, providing the latest insights on field identification and taxonomy for challenging groups such as pelagic birds, Darwin’s finches, and cetaceans. The Galapagos is also known for its vagrants, which too are covered in detail, including several new records not published previously. Many hypothetical and potential species have …

    Reisverhaal - Natuurgids A Vulture Landscape | Ian Parsons
    Reisverhaal - Natuurgids A Vulture Landscape | Ian Parsons
    A Vulture Landscape is more than just a book about vultures, in the same way that these majestic flyers are more than just birds. Vultures are a crucial part of many of the world's ecosystems, and without these specialist environmental cleansers the ecosystems wouldn't work properly. A calendar year in the lives of these gargantuan raptors is explored as they live, breed, feed and fly with effortless ease across the skies of the vulture landscape that is Extremadura in central Spain.There are four species of vulture in Europe, and a fifth that is becoming more of a regular visitor as its own global population plummets. The serious conservation issues faced on a day-to-day basis by these species, and their relatives spread across the globe, are explored, issues that in many cases threaten their very survival. However, this book is a celebration of the vulture and the landscape in which it reigns. Using the latest science, his keen eye and his passion for the birds themselves, the autho…

    Fotoboek Before they pass away | Jimmy Nelson
    Fotoboek Before they pass away | Jimmy Nelson
    In zijn baanbrekende boek Before They Pass Away beschrijft Jimmy Nelson de gebruiken en tradities van de inheemse gemeenschappen die erin zijn geslaagd hun erfgoed te behouden in onze steeds meer geglobaliseerde wereld. Zoals bij alle relaties in het leven is vertrouwen de sleutel tot een diepe connectie met iemand. Hetzelfde geldt voor de band tussen een kunstenaar en zijn of haar onderwerp.   De meeste keren dat ik voor het eerst een gemeenschap bezocht, werd ik unaniem afgewezen. Ze waren begrijpelijkerwijs terughoudend en bang voor deze vreemdeling en ik werd vaak met scepsis over mijn bedoelingen ontvangen. Het werd gebruikelijk dat ik nooit een gemeenschap betrad met een camera in zicht, en het was normaal om tot twee weken of langer te wachten voordat de eerste foto werd genomen. Waar ik ook ging, ik benaderde en toonde altijd een gevoel van enorm respect. Ik positioneerde mezelf opzettelijk fysiek lager dan de mensen die ik fotografeerde, en overlaadde iedereen met oprechte…

    Productomschrijving

    A new, updated version of the celebrated 1968 title, Galapagos: Islands of Birds, by the renowned late ornithologist Bryan Nelson, with additional, previously unpublished reminiscences and lively and irreverent memories from his wife June. This timely reissue breathes new life into a classic work of natural history that will appeal to bird-lovers and Galapagos-lovers alike. It is as memorable for its groundbreaking descriptions of Galapagos wildlife as for June's naked appearance in the News of the World accompanied by a quote from the Duke of Edinburgh.In 1964 the late Bryan Nelson, a zoologist, and his wife June spent a year living on two uninhabited, waterless Galapagos islands studying the three species of booby ('we couldn't resist also studying the great frigatebird and waved albatross, too' says June).

    Bryan's book, Galapagos: Islands of Birds was published in 1968 and, although by necessity a scientific study, his light touch and the extraordinary hardships and delights of living in total isolation with no means of rescue should things go wrong, make it an exceptionally good read. Now, nearly 60 years later, June Nelson has extracted the story of that extraordinary year and complemented it with her own recollections. The couple's research and findings remain relevant and interesting, so plenty of wildlife descriptions are retained, but it is the mischievous mocking birds and friendly sea lions which will captivate the reader as much as the famous blue-footed boobies and waved albatrosses. At the end of their stay on Hood, when their clothes were literally in tatters and they went barefoot, they had news of the imminent visit of The Duke of Edinburgh and the Royal Yacht Britannia. June's description of this visit and their lunch on board with Prince Philip, make a surreal ending to a year of deteriorating food: 'Now our flour had around 50 maggots or beetles per pound... Dried beans would have three or four beetles per bean... In spaghetti a black shadow meant beetle, a grey one maggot. It took a long time, breaking out each shadow, to make a meal.'
