Book Description
The Still-Hunter By Theodore S. van Dyke ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Windham Press is committed to bringing the lost cultural heritage of ages past into the 21st century through high-quality reproductions of original, classic printed works at affordable prices. This book has been carefully crafted to utilize the original images of antique books rather than error-prone OCR text. This also preserves the work of the original typesetters of these classics, unknown craftsmen who laid out the text, often by hand, of each and every page you will read. Their subtle art involving judgment and interaction with the text is in many ways superior and more human than the mechanical methods utilized today, and gave each book a unique, hand-crafted feel in its text that connected the reader organically to the art of bindery and book-making. We think these benefits are worth the occasional imperfection resulting from the age of these books at the time of scanning, and their vintage feel provides a connection to the past that goes beyond the mere words of the text.

Book Description
The Still Hunter is a classic guide to hunting deer in rugged terrain - dating to the late-19th century, many of this book's lessons remain valuable, relevant and highly useful to this day. A book long appreciated by hunting enthusiasts all over the world, The Still Hunter was the first book of its kind: offering detailed guidance and step-by-step instruction in a manner both lucid and demonstrative, at the time it appeared in 1882 deer hunting was a practice shrouded in mystique. Theodore Van Dyke was a hunter of long experience; his words are straightforward, with the practicalities of killing game given without embellishment. We are told in detail how to spot deer and track them through the wilderness. The methods deer use to blend into, and hide among, foliage and scenery are detailed, as are their typical movements through the rugged terrain they typically populate. Van Dyke tells of how to effectively pursue deer, and how stealth is crucial particularly as the hunter prepares to take a shot.

Book Description
A favorite book of President Theodore Roosevelt that inspired his hunting during his time in the badlands of North Dakota. "That mystic tie, which binds in one circle of enchantment all the varied scenes in which the rifle, rod, or gun play a part, must make the subject of this work of some interest to every lover of the field, whether he uses the rifle or not, and whether he ever expects to hunt large game or not. I have therefore endeavored to treat it in such a manner as to be at least readable to all such, as well as interesting to those who desire the information it contains. The part on rifles and rifle-shooting and on game may be interesting to all who love the sporting rifle. And, judging from the comments and letters in the leading papers upon fieldsports at the time when I first wrote upon the use of the rifle in the field, even the experienced hunter may find a hint or two that may one day serve him." -Theodore Van Dyke
The Hunter
Author: Julia LeighPublisher: Faber & Faber
ISBN: 0571380093
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 152
Book Description
The hunter arrives in an isolated community in the Tasmanian wilderness with a single purpose in mind: to find the last thylacine, the tiger of fable, fear and legend. The man is in the employ of the mysterious 'Company', but his sinister purpose is never revealed and as his relationship with a grieving mother and her two children becomes more ambiguous, the hunt becomes his own. Leigh's Tasmania is a place where the wilderness can still claim lives; where the connection between people and the land is at best uneasy and cannot be trusted. In prose of exceptional clarity and elegance, Julia Leigh creates an unforgettable picture of a man obsessed by an almost mythical animal in a damp dangerous landscape. The Hunter is the work of a compelling storyteller and a truly remarkable literary stylist.
