Second Edition. — New York, NY: Arco Publishing Company, 1978. — 162 p. — ISBN: 0-668-03339-8.This illustrated introduction brings the fascinating and dedicated art of hawking to everyone. With a fine regard for the birds used in a sport that has its origins in the distant past, the author has managed to produce a text that is informative, packed with anecdotes and yet maintains a dignity that the subject demands. From the opening chapter, there is a distinct understanding ot what is involved fur anyone considering the exacting, but tremendously rewarding, hobby of owning and training a hawk.
Even tor the completely uninitiated, the book remains compelling reading for the sheer enthusiasm that the author has in his subject, coupled with an appreciation of the natural history of a small section ot our wild bird lite that might otherwise go unacclaimed.
The book is fully illustrated with over 100 black and white and color photographs, all ot which add greatly to the overall appeal.
