Hardback. Condition: Good. Kazakh nomads have been grazing their livestock near the Altai Mountains in western Mongolia for many hundreds of years. Here, in this desolate landscape, where temperatures plummet to minus 40 degrees Celsius in winter, live the last of the men who use eagles to hunt on horseback. Rugged, formidable, proud, the golden eagles share the same qualities as the men with whom they ride. Only the toughest survive here. Fascinated by the special bond that develops between hunter and eagle, award-winning photographer Palani Mohan has spent the last few years documenting the burkitshi, as the hunters are known in Kazakh. As Mohan explains in his introduction to a collection of breathtaking duotone images, this is a culture under threat. There are no more than 50 to 60 'true' hunters left, and each winter claims a few more. Having taken a pup from the nest, given it pride of place in their home and trained it, all hunters describe the eagle as part of their family. With its massive wingspan, sharp eyesight and powerful, flesh-tearing beak and talons, the golden eagle is the perfect predator. Its usual prey, fox, provides a welcome meal for the hunter's family, while the pelt can be made into warm clothing. Mohan's photographs of the stark landscape, the isolation of the hunt, and most of all the trusting relationship between man and bird, convey the huge importance that the eagle plays in the lives of the last remaining Kazakh hunters. This is an enthralling, timely record of these noble men and their majestic eagles in an unforgiving part of the planet.

hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Most of our very good books have only minor imperfections such as shelf wear consistent with a new book that's sat on a bookshop shelf for a year or two. Occasionally we may miss other minor imperfections as we have to grade books at speed. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Hardcover. Condition: Gut. Schutzumschlag. Als Gottheit verehrt, mit großen Festen gefeiert, in Königspalästen verwöhnt und zugleich von Industrie, Landwirtschaft, illegalen Rodungen und Umweltschäden bedroht: Eine dramatische Zerreißprobe für den Asiatischen Elefanten. Dieser Bildband ist eine fesselnde Reise in poetischen Schwarzweißfotografien, welche die Mühsal, die Gefahren, die Freuden und die faszinierenden Alltagsgewohnheiten der Asiatischen Elefanten einfangen. Während es seinem nahen Verwandten, dem Afrikanischen Elefanten, gut geht, sind die Bestände des Asiatischen Elefanten bedroht wie nie zuvor am stärksten in jenen Ländern, wo man ihn besonders verehrt. Er muss Touristen Kunststücke vorführen und für seinen Lebensunterhalt betteln, wird verdrängt, eingesperrt und zur Strecke gebracht. Er braucht zum Überleben Land und das wird in Asien immer knapper.
