Of these creatures, MacDonald is fascinated by the raw power of the goshawk. As a child, she read voraciously on the subject. It was her father that taught her to look closely at the world around her, and who helped contribute to her love of nature and of falconry-that is, the training of birds of prey by human beings. She was close to her father, and the news is devastating. Soon after a trip to the Brecklands, north-east of Cambridge, England, academic and falconer Helen MacDonald learns that her father has died. This guide preserves the author’s intentions in depicting this outdated, harmful concept. This book refers to the 2014 Grove Press paperback edition.Ĭontent warning: This book depicts a historical figure who seeks to “tame” his same-sex attraction.
