In Wild Winter, John D. Burns, bestselling author of The Last
Hillwalker and Bothy Tales, sets out to rediscover Scotland's
mountains, remote places and wildlife in the darkest and stormiest
months. He traverses the country from the mouth of the River Ness
to the Isle of Mull, from remote Sutherland to the Cairngorms, in
search of rutting red deer, pupping seals, minke whales, beavers,
pine martens, mountain hares and otters. In the midst of the fierce
weather, John's travels reveal a habitat in crisis, and many of
these wild creatures prove elusive as they cling on to life in the
challenging Highland landscape. As John heads deeper into the
winter, he notices the land fighting back with signs of
regeneration. He finds lost bothies, old friendships and innovative
rewilding projects, and - as Covid locks down the nation - reflects
on what the outdoors means to hillwalkers, naturalists and the folk
who make their home in the Highlands. Wild Winter is a reminder of
the wonder of nature and the importance of caring for our
environment. In his winter journey through the mountains and
bothies of the Highlands, John finds adventure, humour and a deep
sense of connection with this wild land.

Immerse yourself in the rich sights, sounds, and smells of big game
hunting in "Alaskan Sunrise to African Sunset," a rollicking tale
of one man's hunting adventures in the great outdoors. With
stunning detail and a flair for storytelling, Glenn T. Bingham
shares his thirty-year journey from his humble beginnings hunting
small game and deer in upstate New York to escapades throughout the
lower 48 states, Canada, Alaska, and Africa. Follow Bingham as he
hunts whitetails in the great white north, stalks mule deer in the
Rocky Mountains, climbs above the Arctic Circle for dall sheep, and
tracks cape buffalo into the tall grass of Zimbabwe. Along the way
he recreates the beauty of nature, lessons learned (sometimes the
hard way), and the satisfaction of success. Containing more than
fifty pictures, this engrossing account presents an exciting, often
humorous look at Bingham's experiences in some of the most remote
places on the planet. Experience the thrill of the hunt with
"Alaskan Sunrise to African Sunset"
T.E. Pritt's timeless classic The Book of the Grayling has inspired
generations of fly-fishers. First published in 1888, it was long
considered the definitive book of the subject of grayling. Pritt
drew from a long and rich Northern English tradition of fly-fishing
in the limestone rivers and streams of Yorkshire. Many of the
methods and techniques he describes are still to be found in use
today. This new edition of The Book of the Grayling makes Pritt's
eloquent prose available to fly-fishers and armchair adventurers
the world over.
First published in the 1940s. One of the best books ever written
for the mainly small bore rifle man. Four detailed sections deal
with: Military and Sporting Shooting - Techniques of Rifle Shooting
- Technical Matters - History of the Sport. Every aspect of rifle
shooting is discussed including calibres, ammunition, equipment,
hunting, target shooting, sights and much more. Illustrated. Many
