The Meadow
Author: Barney Wilczak
Publisher: Frances Lincoln
ISBN: 9780711232723
Category : Photography
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The traditional hay meadows of Britain are abound with visual delights. Hundreds of plant species in mesmeric mixtures of color are interspersed with tumbling butterflies, stooping dragonflies and the flight of majestic birds. In Clattinger Farm, probably the finest remaining example in Britain, orchids create vast carpets whilst nightingales sing night time melodies from heavy blackthorn hedgerows. The Meadow takes you on a journey through the forms, colors and patterns of this precious place. The result of recording the changing seasons for over three years, it reveals an astonishing diversity of species. With an emphasis on Barney Wilczak's outstanding photographs, this book includes short and informative texts on orchids, fritillaries, birds, insects, seeds and maintenance, and a foreword by the chief executive of the Wildlife Trusts, Stephanie Hilborne. The grasslands of the world rank as one of our most important habitats, yet are surprisingly uncelebrated. This is especially true in Europe, despite the long role they have played in its history and image of rural life. These habitats have endured severe losses in recent years, largely a result of changing farming practices; this splendid book champions the importance of saving whole habitats and rethinking our relationship to biodiversity.

Valley Stream
Author: Bill Florio
Publisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 1467122688
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 1
Book Description
In this photographic history of Valley Stream, author Bill Florio documents vividly the long and illustrious history of this Nassau County village. Located near the south shore of Long Island at the gateway to Nassau County, the village of Valley Stream has grown from a bucolic farming community in the 1840s to a dense suburban hub full of history and diversity. Consisting of communities named Foster's Meadow, Rum Junction, Skunk's Misery, and Hungry Harbor, the town saw nightlife and leisure blossom after Merrick Road was built and the South Side Railroad pulled in. The village incorporated in 1925, finding itself a center of industry as the location of the Ridgewood Reservoir's conduit pipe, Curtiss Field, Bulova Demco, and later, the birthplace of Snapple. Over the years, Valley Stream gained attention through many of its attractions, including the William R. Gibson Houses, Hoffman's, the Pavilion Royal, Green Acres Mall, the Rio Theatre, Valley Stream State Park, and Itgen's Ice Cream Parlour.

Trout from Small Streams
Author: Dave Hughes
Publisher: Stackpole Books
ISBN: 0811712370
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
What defines a small stream? For Dave Hughes, it's not size but "that sense of intimacy" you get when you can observe the whole stream and "feel that you're a large and integral part of it." Hughes draws on his years of experience to teach you everything you need to know about fishing small streams, from choosing rods and flies to reading the weather and water. Hughes knows that successful fly fishing is more than just catching the most or the biggest fish. Small streams provide the opportunity for exploration and discovery—in addition to the fish. This second edition contains new chapters on reading the seasons and tenkara and is superbly illustrated with more than 100 new color photos.
