Het vogelboek
Een veldgidsDe lucht dunt uit. Wereldwijd zijn er steeds minder vogels. Ochtenden en lentes worden elk jaar stiller. Een bijna onvoorstelbare overvloed dreigt verloren te gaan. Dat hoeft niet zo te zijn – we moeten redden wat we liefhebben. Het vogelboek bevat negenenveertig vogelsoorten, van kluut tot geelgors, die allemaal in aantal afnemen of zelfs met uitsterven worden bedreigd. Geïnspireerd door de klassieke vogelboeken waarmee de auteurs zijn opgegroeid, hebben zij een alternatieve veldgids samengesteld. Lezers kunnen vanaf nu vogels identificeren en zich er ook méé identificeren. Lyrisch en met precisie schetst Robert Macfarlane speels de gewoonten en leefgebieden van elke vogel – hun vlucht- en zangpatronen, hoe ze jagen en verzamelen, hoe ze nestelen en hun jongen grootbrengen, de verhalen en mythen die hun te wachten staan, de bedreigingen, en de manieren waarop hun wilde leven kruist met het onze. En op elke pagina komen we Jackie Morris’ kunstwerken tegen, geschilderd in waterverf en goud en met veel aandacht voor detail en levenslust. Het vogelboek, waar zeven jaar aan is gewerkt, is een lange liefdesverklaring aan de pracht en mysteries van het vogelleven, en een luide oproep om het verlies van vogels op land, ter zee en in de lucht een halt toe te roepen. Van waterspreeuw tot heggenmus en torenvalk tot ijsvogel, van berg tot oceaan en van stad tot rivier: Jackie Morris en Robert Macfarlane schetsen de unieke geest en leefwijze van elke soort. Dit is een boek om te koesteren voor vogelliefhebbers van alle leeftijden en een toekomstige klassieker.

Wild Folk
Wild Folk comprises seven richly illustrated fables of transformation and power, summoned from the ancient stones beneath our feet and transformed by word and image into portals between past and future. These tales from the stones are neither new nor old. They are full of wild folk , shape-shifting spirits that carry the energy that connects all things. You will meet selkies and silver trout and the black fox, as big as a wolf and so fast and cunning she drives the lord of the manor to madness and oblivion; the woman of flowers who is happier living as an owl; the boy who learns to feel the songs and stories of trees through his skin; Wayland, the smith who can hammer metal to such airy thinness he makes his own wings; and the great white raven, a bird so rare it awakens the king who sleeps beneath the stones of the wild west cliffs of Wales. This book brings together the words of Jackie Morris and the stained-glass paintings of Tamsin Abbott, but the stories come from both, a true collaboration born out of friendship and hope. These are tales to make you see, listen and most of all feel the wild magic that links stone, tree, fox and star.

Book of Birds
The Book of Birds is a field guide with a difference: It shows readers not just how to identify birds, but also how to identify with them. Robert Macfarlane and Jackie Morris conjure the unique spirit of nearly fifty once-common species: avocet to yellowhammer, kestrel to kingfisher, skylark to nightingale. In lyrical and incantatory essays, Macfarlane describes each bird's habits and habitats, their patterns of flight and patterns of song, how they hunt or fish or scavenge or gather, how they nest and raise their chicks, the myths that attend them, the threats that shadow them-and how their lives intersect with our own. On every page we encounter Morris's exhilarating artwork, painted from life in watercolor and gold leaf, and animated with an extraordinary attention to detail. The Book of Birds is a love letter to the thrilling variety and mysteries of birdlife, and a clarion call to halt the rapid depletion of our skies.

Il barbagianni, la volpe e la quercia
Lascia che la natura ti prenda lo sguardo, ti colmi la voce, t'invada il cuore. Lepri bianche, falene, civette, volpi, ghiandaie ma anche betulle, querce, margherite e molti altri animali e piante comuni o di rara bellezza immortalati in parole e illustrazioni che scorrono tra le pagine e nella mente come (in)canti perduti. La poesia dei testi di Robert Macfarlane e le illustrazioni ad acquerello di Jackie Morris sono musicali e magiche come fiabe lontane, perdute reminiscenze, paesaggi dimenticati. Leggere questo libro ad alta voce è avere di nuovo il mondo naturale a portata di mano e ricordare cosa succede quando gli permettiamo di scivolare lontano da noi. Un balsamo per l'anima che cura come un incantesimo, un piccolo miracolo della natura che nutre cuore e mente e che apre tra le mani di grandi e piccini un prezioso scrigno di incanto e conoscenza. Età di lettura: da 7 anni. Das Urheberrecht an bibliographischen und produktbeschreibenden Daten und an den bereitgestellten Bildern liegt bei Informazioni Editoriali, I.E. S.r.l., oder beim Herausgeber oder demjenigen, der die Genehmigung erteilt hat. Alle Rechte vorbehalten.
