Book Description
Miss Dove Meriwether is the daughter of a vicar. Prim, proper, and devoted in her faith, she isn’t prepared for the way her heart flutters when a viscount suddenly appears at the church asking for absolution. He’s entirely too handsome—and rakish—for her own good. She doesn’t have time to entertain him when she has other duties to her father’s congregation. After the vicar falls ill, Dove is thrust into a role she never imagined she might play. But when it comes to matters of the heart, are the stakes too high? Lord Cain Wyndham, Viscount Markel, feels that the only way he can get his sordid life back on track is to ask for divine intervention. But when an enchanting woman walks out of the church instead of the vicar he had been expecting, he forgets why he wants to change his wicked ways. As the holiday season draws near and he fights against his urges to claim Dove as his own, he realizes that redemption isn’t the only thing he needs in his life. Can he convince her his love is genuine?

Birds and People
Author: Mark Cocker
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 1448163471
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 592
Book Description
There are 10,500 species of bird worldwide and wherever they occur people marvel at their glorious colours and their beautiful songs. We also trap and consume birds of every kind. Yet birds have not just been good to eat. Their feathers, which keep us warm or adorn our costumes, give birds unique mastery over the heavens. Throughout history their flight has inspired the human imagination so that birds are embedded in our religions, folklore, music and arts. Vast in both scope and scale, Birds and People explores and celebrates this relationship and draws upon Mark Cocker’s 40 years of observing and thinking about birds. Part natural history and part cultural study, it describes and maps the entire spectrum of our engagements with birds, drawing in themes of history, literature, art, cuisine, language, lore, politics and the environment. In the end, this is a book as much about us as it is about birds. Birds and People has been stunningly illustrated by one of Europe’s best wildlife photographers, David Tipling, who has travelled in 39 countries on seven continents to produce a breathtaking and unique collection of photographs. The book is as important for its visual riches as it is for its groundbreaking content. Birds and People is also exceptional in that the author has solicited contributions from people worldwide. Personal anecdotes and stories have come from more than 650 individuals in 81 different countries. They range from university academics to Mongolian eagle hunters, and from Amerindian shamans to some of the most celebrated writers of our age. The sheer multitude of voices in this global chorus means that Birds and People is both a source book on why we cherish birds and a powerful testament to their importance for all humanity.
