Our Feathered Game by Dwight W. Huntington Pdf

Excerpt from Our Feathered Game: A Handbook of the North American Game Birds Ome years ago I was shooting ducks in North Dakota with some army Officers from Fort Totten. In looking over the bag one evening I found a number Of birds which were entirely new to me. Several Of them were not mentioned in any Of the books On field sports. It occurred to me then that a book describing every game bird would be a valu able addition to a Sportsman's library. The authors Of the earlier books had little or no experience west of the Alleghenies and many Of the birds now taken by sportsmen were unknown to them. When Audubon and Wilson wrote their ornithologies much of the Western country was inhabited by hostile Indians and was inaccessible. Audubon was aware of the existence Of the best American grouse, the sharp tail, but said that he was entirely unfamiliar with its habits. Forester had no acquaintance with the com mon prairie-grouse. All the birds are now known, and described, but the information is contained in many volumes, and is, for the most part, too technical to entertain Sportsmen. There is not today a complete manual of the feathered game Of North America. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

A Game of Birds and Wolves by Simon Parkin Pdf

As heard on the New Yorker Radio Hour: The triumphant and "engaging history" (The New Yorker) of the young women who devised a winning strategy that defeated Nazi U-boats and delivered a decisive victory in the Battle of the Atlantic. By 1941, Winston Churchill had come to believe that the outcome of World War II rested on the battle for the Atlantic. A grand strategy game was devised by Captain Gilbert Roberts and a group of ten Wrens (members of the Women's Royal Naval Service) assigned to his team in an attempt to reveal the tactics behind the vicious success of the German U-boats. Played on a linoleum floor divided into painted squares, it required model ships to be moved across a make-believe ocean in a manner reminiscent of the childhood game, Battleship. Through play, the designers developed "Operation Raspberry," a counter-maneuver that helped turn the tide of World War II. Combining vibrant novelistic storytelling with extensive research, interviews, and previously unpublished accounts, Simon Parkin describes for the first time the role that women played in developing the Allied strategy that, in the words of one admiral, "contributed in no small measure to the final defeat of Germany." Rich with unforgettable cinematic detail and larger-than-life characters, A Game of Birds and Wolves is a heart-wrenching tale of ingenuity, dedication, perseverance, and love, bringing to life the imagination and sacrifice required to defeat the Nazis at sea.
