Marie Winn is our guide into a secret world, a true wilderness in the heart of a city. The scene is New York's Central Park, but the rich natural history that emerges here--the loons, raccoons, woodpeckers, owls, and hundreds of visiting songbirds--will appeal to wildlife lovers everywhere. At its heart is the saga of the Fifth Avenue hawks, which begins as a love story and develops into a full-fledged mystery.
At the outset of our journey we meet the Regulars, a small band of nature lovers who devote themselves to the park and its wildlife. As they watch Pale Male, a remarkable young red-tailed hawk, woo and win his first mate, they are soon transformed into addicted hawk-watchers. From a bench at the park's model-boat pond they observe the hawks building a nest in an astonishing spot--a high ledge of a Fifth Avenue building three floors above Mary Tyler Moore's apartment and across the street from Woody Allen's.
The drama of the Fifth Avenue hawks--hunting, courting
Editorial : The literature of bird watching is full of memoirs set in out-of-the-way, rural locales, but few are set in the heart of big cities such as New York, where Wall Street Journal ornithology columnist Marie Winn hangs her hat. In this delightful account, Winn tells of birding in Central Park with an unlikely band of fellow enthusiasts (including Mary Tyler Moore and Woody Allen). Among her objects of study were a pair of increasingly uncommon wood thrushes who set up their nest in the park's Ramble, treating city dwellers to their "penetrating, flutelike, heart-stoppingly beautiful song: Ee-oh-lee, ee-oh-loo-ee-lee, ee-lay-loo," and a pair of red-tail hawks who courted, mated, and produced offspring, thus quickening the spirits of Manhattanites. Both urbanites and those inclined to country matters will enjoy Winn's gracefully written story of observation and discovery.
This is a book about healing and bringing the people of Liberia together. Clinically, the stages of psychosocial development and level of emotional integration are correlated. But it represents millions of hours of engineering and research to measure and collate its results.
If there is one book that summarises the engineering of our civilisation, it is this.
Always nice to see CRC continually updating it. I couldn't believe how quickly this order was delivered. With the cross referance to engine numbers and models and types you cannot go wrong. In fact, she falls in love with India so much that she is eagerly drawn back every six months. Dr. just got to put all this knowledge into my bike.
thanks Ian and thanks Amazon. I loved the book, a comment I use infrequently.. I'd like to emphasize that this book, "The Cognitive Structure of Emotions", is not at all written in a clinical or Psychoanalytic framework. There is an impressive amount of information that fills th
