Hardcover. Condizione: Good. Immediate dispatch from Somerset. Nice older book in good condition. Pages in good condition. No dustcover. Year 1963. Hardcover. English. See images for condition. About the book >.>.> BEFORE undertaking the conservation of animals and plants it is necessary scientifically to learn at least something of their numbers and distribution and their relations to other animals and plants within their special environment. The practice of conservation today is partly an art and only partly a science, but its basis must be firmly assured by the ecological sciences. In the case of wildfowl-the great world-wide family of Anatidae comprising the 144 species of ducks, geese and swans-we are dealing with such problems on the grand scale. Not only is the family represented in all the Continents, but even some of the species established in Britain belong to populations existing right round the globe. Individuals which spend part of their year in Britain may be anywhere between Iceland, Siberia and Africa at another season in the same year, as ringing results show. It is indeed hardly defensible to speak of British wildfowl at all since we share so many of the actual birds with other count.…

See his entry in the Oxford DNB. 1p, 4to. In fair condition, lightly aged, with slight spotting to margin. Folded three times. Good signature: 'Peter Scott.' Addressing himself to 'Dear Squirrel', he writes: 'Yes, of course I will try to advise you on the right type of field glasses. I have used Ross 12 by 50 Stepsun for many years and have found it a very good glass for ornithological and also general use. I would strongly recommend it. The 15 x 40 Solaross is a very good instrument in the cheaper price range.' He gives prices for both, and then continues: 'Some of the Japanese binoculars are said to be very good though I have no personal experience. They are comparatively cheap.' He is told that 'the principles used in making "zoom" lenses which have no prisms are now being incorporated in binoculars, and that it makes them lighter - but again no experience'. He ends by dealing with the question of magnification: 'it needs some practice to be able to hold twelves and fifteens steady, but on balance I think the larger image pays, in spite of the smaller field and the wobbles'.
