Description
|
|
|
|
With more than 900 illustrations, including color photos filling two large pages, this volume presents a detailed overview of every aspect of the hunt. The historical development of a hunting culture whose roots are thousands of years old is reflected in art, crafts, architecture, and literature. This book traces the course of the hunt from its very beginnings to the present, illuminating works of art and other treasures. The second part of the book is devoted to game in its natural environment and the hunt in modern times, in which the hunter has given up his role as provider to become a sort of wildlife conservationist, as seen here in "Hunting with a Camera" and "The Hunter as Ecologist."
