Nature Unpacked is the ultimate travelling companion for those visiting the southern African bush – whether for the first time or for the tenth. Much more than a field guide to the wildlife of the region, it provides insight into the behaviour and adaptation of the more common mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs, insects, spiders and scorpions that are found here. Identification of common trees and shrubs is made simple by way of easily accessible descriptions and close-up representative images.
FEATURES THAT MAKE THIS BOOK A MUST-HAVE:
An all-in-one guide that covers the most common mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs, insects, spiders, scorpions, trees and flowering plants found in the region.
More than 900 stunning photographs and reader-friendly text reveal what the creatures of the African bush do and why they do it.
Information is interpretative rather than just dry facts typical of other field guides.
The colourful and creative layout allows the reader to engage visually with the content.
Other features include distribution maps, animal spoor, icons and Quick ID tables.
Ireland, the Emerald Isle, is famous for its checkerboard landscape
of green fields and hedgerows. Its coast showcases sandy beaches,
mudflats and saltmarshes, Atlantic Rainforests, rocky shores and
cliffs, all home to a staggering variety of wildlife. Ireland's
coastal waters are among the best in Europe to see whales and
dolphins and other rare marine animals. The Crossbill Guide Ireland
is the authoritative wildlife and nature travel guidebook to that
island and includes both the Republic of Ireland and Northern
Ireland. The book provides insights into how this varied landscape
came into being with a description of its flora and fauna. The book
combines this background with carefully selected hiking and driving
routes that cover the best places to discover Ireland's wildlife
and ecosystems. If you want to explore Ireland's wild side, this is
the book you need.
During his life, Gene Nunnery was recognized as a master turkey
hunter and an artisan who crafted unique, almost irresistible
turkey calls. In The Old Pro Turkey Hunter, the vaunted sportsman
shares over fifty years of personal experience in Mississippi and
surrounding states, along with the decades-old wisdom of the
huntsmen who taught him. Throughout the book, his stories make
clear that turkey hunting is more than just killing the bird-it is
about matching wits with a wild and savvy adversary. As Nunnery
explains, ""To me that's what it's all about: finding a wise old
gobbler who will test your skill as a turkey hunter."" Through his
stories, Nunnery reveals that the true reward for successful turkey
hunting lies in winning the contest, not necessarily exterminating
the foe. Real sportsmen know that every now and then the turkey
should and will elude the hunter. As Nunnery looks back on his
extensive career, he analyzes vast differences in practice, old and
new. The shift, he decides, came during his last twenty years on
the hunt, and that difference has only increased in the decades
since this book was originally published. Michael O. Giles, Bass
Pro staff team member, master turkey hunter, and award-winning
outdoors writer and author of Passion of the Wild, writes a new
foreword that brings the practice of turkey hunting into the
present day. Filled with a tested mixture of common sense and
specific examples of how master turkey hunters honor their harvest
and heritage, The Old Pro Turkey Hunter is the perfect companion
for the novice or the adept.
