# "Eagles are among the most impressive hunters of the animal world. Their predatory prowess and flying skills have imbued them with a romance and mystique that runs deep in our culture and has elevated them to emblems of freedom and power across the globe. Of the roughly 60 species of eagle found worldwide, only two occur in Britain. The regal Golden Eagle is the definitive 'true' eagle and occurs in wilderness areas across the northern hemisphere. The ever larger White-tailed Eagle, reintroduced to the UK after historic extinction, belongs to the separate 'sea eagles' genus. In Spotlight: Eagles, Mike Unwin reveals the truth behind the legends, and explores the relationships, lifestyle and biology of these two iconic species." Chapters include:- Meet the eagles; Ancestors and relatives; A view to a kill; The next generation; Threats and enemies; Eagles in culture; Understanding, protecting and enjoying eagles.
