Condición: new. ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Paperback, 2011). 2011 1st edition. 4to paperback (170 x 240mm). Ppviii,151,ad. Colour photographs. Fine new copy. The barn owl is a 'flagship' species, at the top of the food chain, and its presence or absence is a good indicator of the health of the countryside. This is the enjoyable and informative story of the author's success in restoring this beautiful bird to areas of the country where its numbers had catastrophically declined. From an upbringing in the Lake District, the author developed a deep interest in natural history which became an all-consuming passion. As a 'licensed rehabilitation keeper', he cared for a wide range of injured and orphaned wildlife, giving individuals a second chance by returning them to the wild. He reveals how and why he later graduated to barn owl conservation. The author describes his many encounters with barn owls, from the acquisition of his first breeding pair; 'Barney', a completely humanised owl; to stories of the fascinating array of people involved in releasing, studying, and simply marvelling at this beautiful bird. Although there is a funny side to most situations, there are also the inevitable disasters and disappointments of conservation work, such as the accidental or deliberate sabotaging of releases or the killing of released birds. The reader shares in the author's disappointment and frustration at the sheer cost in time and money and his frequent self-doubt about the success of the whole exercise. However, there are descriptions of more enjoyable activities such as bird ringing, watching home-grown birds metamorphose from ugly pink scraps into creatures of ethereal beauty, and the seemingly limitless energy and enthusiasm of countless landowners and volunteers who are totally committed to the reintroduction of the barn owl. After almost 20 years, there is now evidence of a marked increase in barn owl numbers in areas where the author has worked. During this period, he bred and released around 250 birds, put up nest boxes and advised on barn owl-friendly approaches to land management. These activities helped to reverse the decline in population as areas were repopulated and also created reservoirs of wild breeding barn owls, whose offspring colonised other under-populated parts of the country. The return of the barn owl not only heralds a brighter future for the British countryside, but also shows, at a time of great public concern about the state of planet Earth, that the negative effects of human activity on the environment can be reversed with effort, goodwill and determination. .…

Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fine. 3rd Edition. xi+419 pages. Illustrations, maps. Original publisher's cloth, spine lettered gilt, with unclipped dust jacket. Edited with the assistance of Stan Beesley, John Harron and Doreen S. Lambert The wild plants of counties Down, Antrim and Londonderry have been the subject of continual observation and investigation since about 1690. Stewart & Corry's classic 'Flora of the north-east of Ireland, originally published in 1888, has so far passed through two editions which summarise these investigations. This completely rewritten third edition is the accumulated fruit of all those earlier recorders plus the work of botanists of the last fifty years. This book is the only up to date and comprehensive source of information on precisely which species of flowering plants, ferns conifers grown wild in the area. For each plant there is an account of its history, distribution, habitat preferences and an assessment of how common or rare it is in the three countries. It should prove an invaluable reference to all who are interested in the wild flora of Ireland and its conservation. *** WEIGHT OVER 1.4 KG, EXTRA SHIPPING CHARGE WILL BE REQUESTED FOR DELIVERIES OUTSIDE OF IRELAND *** A fine copy without any damage, library stamps, inscriptions or other markings. …

The first volume in The Oxford Handbook of Auditory Science, The Ear serves both as an introduction and as a reference work for anyone interested in the auditory periphery. Each chapter includes a mix of tutorial and advanced information. Throughout the book, the focus is on mechanistic, functional evidence, with many chapters concentrating on cellular and molecular explanations of cochlear function. In addition to basic function, the development and regeneration of the inner ear are described, as are the growing body of ear-related genes identified through studies of human deafness and animal mutants. This knowledge is applied to the human condition in descriptions of pathogenic mechanisms, and existing therapies, especially the cochlear implant. Whether the reader is a student entering the field, a clinical practitioner, or a worker in an allied field of study, this volume will be a valuable resource of basic information, and perhaps a catalyst to making their own contributions to the ongoing challenge, and adventure, of understanding the mysteries of the ear.
