Condizione: New. Hawking with Golden Eagles paints a vivid picture of the eagle experience and takes the reader into the skies on a hunt for quarry. Based on practical field experience, this breakthrough book gives a full account of training and hunting procedures, and takes a close look at the quarries a golden eagle can currently be flown to. Full of breathtaking photographs and insightful description, the book is sure to be enjoyed by anyone wishing to explore the eagle's role within falconry throughout the centuries. My purpose in writing this small book is to try to give an insight into hawking with golden eagles. These raptors have frequently been described in less-than-glowing terms and their value as modern day falconry birds questioned. This book will attempt to paint a more positive picture. Naturally, when flown under unsuitable conditions and handled by inexperienced falconers, golden eagles will give a poor account of themselves. But, if trained and flown correctly, these eagles can be employed very effectively by the contemporary falconer and provide him with a unique hawking experience. My own understanding and appreciation of the golden eagle owes little to my early British falconry background. Far more influential have been my central European experiences. I have spent a good deal of time living and hawking on the Continent. There, my involvement with three large falconry center has resulted in me being presented with opportunities seldom afforded the private individual; and, with Germany or Austria serving as a base, I have traveled widely and hunted with golden eagles in many different parts of Europe. In writing this book, I have assumed that those interested in hawking with golden eagles will already have a background of experience with birds such as goshawks, Harris' hawks, or red-tailed hawks. Let me stress that a golden eagle is definitely no bird for a novice falconer. With this in mind, I deemed it unnecessary to cover very basic falconry topics in any detail. Comments on the more rudimentary aspect of the sport have been restricted to where I feel they are truly required. I have written very much with the practicing falconer in mind. However, I have also tried to produce a text that will be found readable and informative by those perhaps not directly involved in practical falconry, but who have an interest in some related topic. It is hoped that this book will be of value to anyone keen to discover just what these magnificent birds are capable of as trained hunting allies.

Condizione: new. (Hardcover, 2011). 2011 1st edition. 8vo (159 x 241mm). Pp159. B/w photographs. Edition limited to 500 copies, signed & numbered by the author. Brown boards, spine titled in gilt. Fine new copy in dust-wrapper. Signed by the author. The last thirty years have seen an astonishing rise in the popularity of the Golden Eagle as a hunting bird in the German-speaking countries. The interest in the Golden Eagle amongst German specialists is well established but the rise in the bird's numbers is recent. This is due to the greater, and cheaper, availability of captive bred birds, with demand being boosted by large and glamorous field meetings. In this, his latest book, Martin Hollinshead examines the rise of Golden Eagle falconry in Germany and Austria since the 1950's. This account includes much on the personalities involved, their exploits and their involvement with the establishment of today's large, well-financed, glamorous and highly organised Middle-European falconry scene. .

(Hardcover, 2009). (2009) 2012 reprint. 8vo (160 x 242mm). Pp153 + 1p ad. B/w illustrations by Vadim Gorbatov. Blue boards, spine titled in gilt. Fine copy in dust-wrapper. This is a fascinating - and perhaps unique - account of a life divided between middle class St. Petersburg, the Russian aristocracy & the vast multinational peasantry. Friedrich Remmler was born to a German family and grew up in the Grand Duchy of Finland, hunting & shooting at every opportunity in what is now Finland, Karelia and Russia. He pursues wolves with borzois as a guest of the Neratovs, runs down lynx, bears & more wolves with famous Finnish huntsmen, hunts seals on ice floes with commercial sealers where he is swept off in an ice storm, surviving only by luck. He visited Russia's great eagle market at Orenburg, and makes innumerable observations on the society around him. After WWI Remmler ran a business in Finland, collecting wild animals live for zoos and collections around the world and pioneering the safe trapping of elk (moose). Eventually, he and his family emigrated to rural Ontario where he wrote this memoir. The parts describing hawking with eagles were used as the basis for "The Last Wolf Hawker: The Eagle Falconry of Friedrich Remmler" (our stock number 16835). The rest of Remmler's memoir is presented here, translated by his son Ingmar and edited by Martin Hollinshead. The wonderful illustrations by Vadim Gorbatov compliment the text perfectly. A gripping account of places and an era of which we know little, and surely destined to become a classic. .
