About this title

Synopsis

This practical guide to pheasant preservation was written by a landed and practicing gamekeeper in the late 19th century amidst significant changes in agricultural practices and the rise of shooting as a sport for leisure. The author draws on experience, describing methods he found effective in establishing and maintaining stocks of game birds. His approach centres on creating diverse habitats to improve survival rates, breeding birds on the estate to mimic natural conditions and protect them from poachers, supplemented by hand-rearing techniques when necessary. The author also strongly advocates against the artificial feeding of hen pheasants, a practice that could make birds dependent on humans and less able to thrive in the wild. His ideas and initiatives helped to sustain pheasant numbers and improve sporting opportunities for landowners and their guests as the natural landscape changed and the birds came under increased threat.

Store Description

Seit �ber 30 Jahren handeln wir mit B�chern. Begonnen hat alles als kleiner Fachbuchhandel in Berlin. Heute sind wir spezialisiert auf den An- und Verkauf gebrauchter B�cher. Noch immer liegt unser Fokus dabei auf den Kategorien: Fachbuch und englischsprachige Literatur. Hinzu kommen B�cher aus allen anderen Genres, wie Belletristik, Biografien oder Kinderb�cher. Unser oberstes Ziel ist dabei die Weiterverwendung von Dingen und die Schonung von Ressourcen. Neben dem Ankauf von privaten B�chern oder Haushaltsaufl�sungen kaufen wir bundesweit komplette Bibliotheken und Buchbest�nde von Institutionen auf, um diese nachhaltig ein weiteres Mal auf den Markt zu bringen. Parallel dazu bietet Buchpark die M�glichkeit, gro�e Mengen einzulagern. Ganze Bibliotheken und umfangreiche Buchbest�nde werden von uns professionell auf Qualit�tsmerkmale hin untersucht und sorgf�ltig f�r den Onlinehandel aufbereitet. Wir schenken B�chern ein zweites Leben.
