I have been re-reading Horseback Archery by Kassai Lajos.
A superb book if you are an instinctive archer. It is a mixture of story, history, training suggestions and philosophy. It is really interesting how it can link globally diverse archery styles and techniques.
...and you don't need a horse, or a even a bow, to enjoy the book.

Reading one of the best books on the American fur trappers and mountain men.
"Across the Wide Missouri" by Bernard DeVoto.

LOVED the Rupert annuals when I was young! And was that the copy of Wildwood that was for sale at the moot by any chance? I had my eye on that but managed to borrow it from the library last week after being sad that someone had already swiped it

He said himself that if he hadn't been so ill when he wrote 1984 it might not have been so gloomy. Dying in 1950 a year after publication he didn't have time to become much of a Tory but he was a product of his upbringing and The Road to Wigan Pier is a parody of Northern life pre-war.
Hi folks. I thought it'd be interesting if we have one of these threads. Apologies if there's already one hidden away on the forum.
I'm reading The Ecology of Plants at the moment having just come off Trees Their Natural History by Peter A Thomas. Both are traditional textbooks (the former is 540 pages the latter was around 400). The Ecology of Plants covers individual physiological factors/stresses all the way to community level distribution, to global ecological patterns, paleoecology, climate change and so forth. It looks like a mix between college and degree level, with some statistical analysis and formulae in their too.

What about you?
any idea where I can get this cheap?56 quid seems a lot for a book , looks like a good read though?
denny 😊
The problem is, this is an illustrated reference book. The production costs on these types of books are very high, and the print runs are quite low. £56 is quite a reasonable price for a quality illustrated book.
Watching. Encounters with humans and other animals. By Desmond Morris. Not a terrible read but not exactly paradigm shifting. And with the ankle biter Fantastic Mr Fox is this week's. And I'm probably enjoying it more than her!
i have a piece of software running as part of my browser that whenever i am looking at a price of something it automatically scans tinternet for a better value version and shows me up to ten different sellers and their prices, it is often very handy
Same here, and re reading it as an adult it's still brilliant! And getting someone like me (taught by all and sundry that foxes are vermin) to empathise with a Fox it must be good!

Bernard Cornwells saxo series gets reread every couple of months, love it! They are making a TV series based on it very soon too
