Fra produsentens egen omtale:
A gorgeous volume and endless source of inspiration for lovers
of birding and of bird-themed design alike, The Birding Life shows
myriad ways to reflect your passion in your home.
Birds are both marvels of nature and artistic muses. The mere chance of sighting
a prized species has long motivated human observers to brave early mornings,
long days, and severe conditions. Birds have also inspired artists to honor them
in imagery throughout the ages. In the form of bird-themed art and décor, the
beauty of winged creatures informs the "nests" and working spaces of
the birders, artists, collectors, and conservationists featured in the more than
twenty delightfully written stories in The Birding Life. Through
evocative writing and two hundred gorgeous color photographs, the authors of The
Sporting Life and Living with Dogs capture the beauty, intrigue,
and fun of birding -- at home, in the country, in the city, and out in the field
-- with a special focus on the nostalgic memorabilia that signals devotion to
birds of all kinds.
In Part I: Birders in Birdland, you will meet Alexander Wilson, John James
Audubon, and Roger Tory Peterson, the iconic figures responsible for first
documenting America's native birds for the public; and Kenn Kaufman and David
Allen Sibley, authors of today's most well-known American birding guides. You
will visit Buck Hollow Ranch in Concan, Texas, where more than two hundred
species of birds, including endangered species unique to the Hill Country, pass
through in prime season. From there you will travel to New York City to meet
thirteen-year-old Alexander Gottdiener, a licensed falconer who enjoys
birdwatching in Central Park and in more exotic climes.
Part II: Bird Houses welcomes you into the homes and studios of bird
enthusiasts, artists, and collectors. In Houston, Texas, artists Lisa Ludwig and
Joseph Havel's home, which includes an aviary for injured birds and a studio
where Lisa creates bronze bird-nest sculptures, serves as a tranquil retreat
from the bustling city. Kristof Zyskowski, manager of the vertebrate collections
at Yale's Peabody Museum of Natural History, gives you a behind-the-scenes peek
at the museum's meticulously curated collection, which includes specimens from
about 70 percent of the world's bird species.
In Part III: At Home with Birds, you will meet homeowners who have decorated
their personal nests to reflect their love of avian life. In antiques dealers
Paul and Sharon Mrozinski's home, Victorian collections of specimen eggs and
nests punctuate an eclectic mix of antique furniture and art. The Brooklyn loft
shared by young sisters Hollister and Porter Hovey is a hipster ode to nature,
featuring taxidermy and an assortment of curios, fabrics, and furniture that
reflects their collective adoration of flora and fauna.
Field trips throughout the book give readers a taste of the authentic experience
of birders in bird-rich locations in Maine, Texas, North Dakota -- and New York
City's greatest sanctuary, Central Park.
Sidebars throughout the book cover how to start a birding hobby; what to pack in
your birding bag; what garden plantings best attract birds to the home; what
bird enthusiasts are wearing and collecting; and the best bird baths, houses,
and feeders. An extensive resource section offers countless options for further
exploration.
Larry Sheehan has written for newspapers and magazines and has authored dozens
of books, including the best-selling Living with Dogs and The
Sporting Life.
