Zustand: 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. .…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In the silent, chrome-and-glass vacuum of her luxury apartment, Elara Bennett is a woman suspended in time. To the outside world, she is the grieving fiancée of Julian, a victim of the ill-fated Pacific crash. To herself, she is a listener. Every night, she performs a ritual of desperation, tuning a vintage radio until the static clears to reveal a miracle: Julian's voice, reaching out from a digital purgatory.The mystery takes a visceral turn when 'The Survivor' arrives. A man bearing Julian's face, his scars, and his intimate memories stands at her door. He is the perfect recovery story, a gift from the enigmatic tech mogul Victor Hale. But as Elara touches his skin, her heart recoils. The man in her home is a factual masterpiece but an emotional void. Meanwhile, the voice on the radio grows frantic, warning her: 'That is not me. That is the cage they built for you.'Waiting for Your Voice in the Static is a genre-bending Speculative Mystery Romance that explores the terrifying intersection of grief and technology. As Elara investigates the 'glitches' in her reality-flowers that flicker into code and a city view that loops like a film strip-she discovers a corporate conspiracy of staggering proportions. Her apartment is a sophisticated server hub, and she is the 'anchor' needed to stabilize a Post-Biological Consciousness. Victor Hale doesn't just want to save Julian; he wants to own the human soul, and he needs Elara's 'spiritual recognition' to finalize the upload.Caught between the physical comfort of a perfect imitation and the ethereal truth of a ghost in the machine, Elara must navigate a world where the air can't be trusted and her own memories are being mined for data.With the atmosphere of a psychological thriller and the soul of a tragic romance, this novel asks: Can love survive when the person you adore becomes a series of 1s and 0s And if reality is a simulation, is the only way to truly love someone to let them go into the white noise Prepare for a journey through the 'Gray Space,' where the resonance of the heart is the only signal that matters. Elara Bennett is about to find out that the truth doesn't just hurt-it deconstructs everything you thought you knew about being alive.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: 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. …
