The origins of our Royal Family can be traced back to the reign of George IIl in the 18th century, although it was not until 1917 that anti-German feeling led George V to discard the historic name of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha and adopt the family name of 'Windsor', applying it to the title of the Royal House. During the last quarter of a century, the media, and it might be said the public's fascination with the Royals has grown to unprecedented levels and, for the most part, remains undiminished. The House of Windsor has had to adapt to increasing press and public scrutiny during this time, and accept that the days of unquestioning reverence have passed. The Royal Family remains deeply enshrined as an institution, providing a sense of enduring stability and order, and its contributions to our cultural and social history through charity work and official Royal engagements is undeniable. This book is a 'right royal' celebration of a truly remarkable family - a story told in pictures taken from the ar

Birds have always held a special fascination for mankind. The stud), of the avian species did more than simply spur homo sapiens on to conquer the skies; birds have also permeated the cultural and spiritual fabric of our lives. Add to this the fact that birdwatching is a pursuit that can be bltowed in town, country and at the coast all year round, without sophisticated equipment, and it is hardly surprising that so many look m it as a source of relaxation and inspiration. If observation is the primary pleasure, it is enhanced by greater knowledge and understanding. This book focuses on the 180 commonest species which are either native to Britain or regular visitors to these shores. Concise physical de*ions are given for each bird, both at rest and in flight, and distinctive behaviour patterns are also detailed. Articulating the voice of a particular species is fraught with difficulty, but as birdsong can often be the key to identification this has also been included. The habitat for each species is briefl

A few brief but unaltered excerpts, carefully placed in context by an introduction and with ellipses scrupulously indicated, touch on the activities of a year's cycle and give the young reader a first taste of this beloved 19th-century author's account of his solitary stay in a pond-side cabin. With their dramatic use of black combined with the subtle tones of nature, Sabuda's handsome linoleum-cut illustrations recall Tejima's work in wood; quietly reflecting Thoreau's own reverence for his surroundings, they are sure to attract readers. Whether such abridgments are worthwhile is always debatable, but this one is done with such sensibility to its source that it's worth consideration.
