Tracking The Highland Tiger
Author: Marianne Taylor
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 147297025X
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
Over the centuries, one by one, Britain's most formidable wild animals have fallen to the thoughtless march of humankind. A war on predators put paid to our lynxes, wolves and bears, each hunted relentlessly until the last of them was killed. Only our wildcats lived on. The Scottish wildcat's guile and ferocity are the stuff of legend. No docile pet cat, this, but a cunning and shadowy animal, elusive to the point of invisibility, but utterly fearless when forced to fight for its life. Those who saw one would always remember its beauty – the cloak of dense fur marked with bold tiger stripes, the green-eyed stare and haughty sneer, and the broad, banded tail whisking away into the forest's gloom. Driven to the remnants of Scotland's wilderness, the last few wildcats now face the most insidious danger of all as their domesticated cousins threaten to dilute their genes into oblivion. However, the wildest of cats has friends and goodwill behind it. This book tells the story of how the wildcat of the wildwood became the endangered Scottish wildcat, of how it once lived and lives now, and of how we - its greatest enemy - are now striving to save it in its darkest hour.

The People of the Sea
Author: David Thomson
Publisher: Counterpoint LLC
ISBN:
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 248
Book Description
"David Thomson, raised among Scottish fishermen and storytellers, was obsessed from childhood by the Celtic seal legend - the body of tales and songs about the "selchie, " or gray Atlantic seal." "In the early 1950s he took a journey to seek the legend out, in the Hebrides, on the east coast of Scotland, on the west coast of Ireland, in the Shetlands and the Orkney Islands - places where magic co-exists with reality and where pe-Christian traditions and beliefs somehow endure." "He gives us here the fruit of his search as he found it - in the pub, on the beach, at a country dance - and he tells us something of the men, women, and children from whom he heard the stories. He also tells of his own encounters with seals, and of the dreamlike hold that these have had on him. The result is, in the words of his friend Seamus Heaney, a poetic achievement - a work of "intuitive understanding, perfect grace, and perfect pitch.""--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
