Synopsis
The involvement of humans with ducks, geese and swans is probably closer than with any other group of birds. This involvement in its many aspects is the theme of this compelling account by the Assistant Director of the Wildfowl Trust. Dr. Kear ranges widely, from a summary of the taxonomy and natural history of wildfowl, through a history of domestication world wide, to wildfowling, decoys, conservation and captive breeding, conflicts with agriculture, and wildfowl in legend and literature. Illustrated by several artists and with photographs, 24 x 16 cm, drawings, and photographs.
