【カバー袖より内容紹介】There is something special about a hare. Many who have fallen under the spell of this elusive, beautiful and contradictory creature have longed to know more about its secretive life. But few researchers have had the patience and skill to untangle fact from fiction, to reveal the surprising evidence about this truly wild animal. And few photographers have managed to capture so many rare images of the hare on camera. Jill Mason presents a lively account of the natural history of the hare, covering its behaviour throughout the seasons, its courtship and breeding, its favoured habitats and worldwide distribution, its remarkable survival techniques, its predators and its hunters. The superstitions and folklore surrounding the hare are explored; and the latest scientific findings and conservation initiatives are clearly reported for the general reader. Over 150 stunning colour photographs, by talented wildlife photographer David Mason, include pictures of hare behaviour never caught on camera before.
【著者について】Jill Mason has lived and worked in the countryside all her life and has written regularly for countryside magazines. Her first book, The Townies' Guide to the Countryside, was published in 2003 to wide critical acclaim. It was followed by her highly successful Rural England: What's Happening Month by Month (2007) and The Rabbit (2015). Her husband, the wildlife photographer David Mason was, like her, formerly a professional gamekeeper. His 235 photographs in this book are the result of his lifetime's passion for photographing the hare. They live in a village in Norfolk.
