MAN AND WILDFOWL. By Janet Kear.
1990 1st edition. 8vo (160 x 240mm). Pp288. B/w photographs and illustrations, bibliography. Brown boards, spine titled in gilt.
This is a detailed and interesting account of man's long-standing relationship with waterfowl, chiefly ducks and geese of various species. This encompasses not just domesticated species but those affected by such human activities as wildfowling and conservation, with much interesting material on the place of wildfowl in language, legend, art and elsewhere. A fascinating book, well worth a place on any ornithological or sporting bookshelf.
