Mark Cocker
Birders
Vintage Sep 2002. New edition. Paperback. In "Birders--Tales of a Tribe" author and environmentalist Mark Crocker looks back at a lifetime's obsession with "birding"; the strange places that his fascination for ornithology has taken him and the even stranger network of friends acquaintances and enemies who share his passion and make up Britain's birding "tribe". This is not a guide to birdwatching although novices will find plenty of tantalising information and inspiration in Crocker's ramble through nearly 30 years of feathered fanaticism. Instead it is an attempt by a man who is part of it to understand the "tribe"--the disparate band of fellow devotees who will slog the length and breadth of Britain for the chance to spot a rarity. Crocker is interested in recording the customs the folklore the language and most importantly "the rules" of what amounts to a secret society. n Rule No.1 is no "stringing" or claiming to have spotted birds that you haven't. "Birders" tells its own dark and labyrinthine tale of an alleged cheat who was eventually hounded out of the hobby--suffice to say there's a level of duplicity and intrigue surrounding this business of birdwatching that will bewilder outsiders. n Hadn't he said he'd taken the photos from the car Could it be that such a bird would allow this movement around it the photo almost looked as if it were part of a professional shoot with a. the words lingered in the air then finally slipped out--with a MODEL! n If you've never driven through the night on the off chance of spotting a Blyth's Reed Warbler you may struggle to suppress the urge to decry birders as a bunch of weird obsessives--whose status within the group is based on familiarity with the minutiae of an inconsequential hobby--but it's worth the effort. This is an intriguing entertaining read with a surprisingly poignant conclusion that succeeds in its aim to record evidence of a largely hidden world. "--Alex Hankin" Vintage paperback

Birds & People
New Delhi India: Random House 2013 There are 10500 species of bird worldwide and wherever they occur people marvel at their glorious colors and their beautiful songs. We also trap and consume birds of every kind. Yet birds have not just been good to eat. Their feathers which keep us warm or adorn our costumes give birds unique mastery over the heavens. Throughout history their flight has inspired the human imagination so that birds are embedded in our religions folklore music and arts. Vast in both scope and scale Birds and People explores and celebrates this relationship and draws upon Mark Cockers 40 years of observing and thinking about birds. Part natural history and part cultural study it describes and maps the entire spectrum of our engagements with birds drawing in themes of history literature art cuisine language lore politics and the environment. In the end this is a book as much about us as it is about birds. Birds and People has been stunningly illustrated by one of Europes best wildlife photographers David Tipling who has travelled in 39 countries on seven continents to produce a breathtaking and unique collection of photographs. The book is as important for its visual riches as it is for its groundbreaking content. Birds and People is also exceptional in that the author has solicited contributions from people worldwide. Personal anecdotes and stories have come from more than 650 individuals in 81 different countries. They range from university academics to Mongolian eagle hunters and from Amerindian shamans to some of the most celebrated writers of our age. The sheer multitude of voices in this global chorus means that Birds and People is both a source book on why we cherish birds and a powerful testament to their importance for all humanity. Printed Pages: 592. First Edition. Hardcover. New/New. Illus. by David Tipling. 22.5 x 29 Cm. Random House hardcover
