The author's account of two years fishing on the Niger River whilst serving as a Peace Corps volunteer in Mali. "If you go to live on the Niger River in West Africa, don't forget your pole, your sense of humor, and your camera! [This book] provides answers to these important questions: How do you land an electric fish, and what if you screw up? What happens when a cobra tries to get in the boat? Which one lure will catch tigerfish, Nile perch, catfish, Tilapia, etc? Where do you catch a tigerfish, and then how do you deal with its teeth? When is a fish going to kill you if you eat it? Who might you meet, and what are they saying? A two-year account of sport and traditional fishing by a fish biologist Peace Corps Volunteer in Mali, West Africa. This photo-journal contains 19,000 words and 140 black and white photographs. Tigerfish! opens with sport fishing, and details the author's pursuit of tigerfish, Nile perch,and other species including the dubious dodo. The second part is an account of experiences and observations made during the large community fishing events that take place in the waters of the floodplain during the dry season. The third section provides a brief description and numerous pictures of the life and work of small-scale commercial Somono fishers. The final section documents two traditional fire hunts on the Niger River floodplain. The quality of photos is better than most pictures of the Loch Ness Monster." "Kelly has produced a book of class about fishing in a region where few of us are likely to get the chance to visit. a mixture of absolute self-effacing honesty and intelligent insight." (Paul Little). .…

ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (New, Paperback, 2014). 2014 1st English translation. 8vo paperback (159 x 235mm). Ppxviii,152. Colour illustrations. Some shelf wear but a new, unread copy. Signed (in Urdu) by the translator. The poet-solider Khushal Khan Khattak was chief of the Khattaks, a Pashtun tribe of Afghanistan and what is now Pakistan. Khushal Khan Khattak wrote this book in Pashto, the main language of Afghanistan and northern Pakistan, and it is one of the greats of Pashto literature. The Book of Falconry is a manual of falconry written in verse, and is here translated into English by Sami ur Rahman. It "is a rare work in verse, surviving from the classical Mughal era. It covers the whole gamut of the field, including trapping, training, manning, colours, types, furniture, hatching, diseases, and medicine. The dark-eyed, known as the long-winged in the West, make for a large part of the text and the species discussed are the saker, the Altai falcon, gyrfalcon, shaheen, peregrine, laggar, and red-headed merlin. Among the yellow-eyed, or the short-winged, it is the goshawk, sparrowhawk, shikra, and besra, etc. Dealing with the subject matter in a concise, compact, and cogent manner, the poet gives the kingly sport an aesthetic and philosophical touch. The style and diction is down-to-earth and easy to follow. Apart from its historical and literary importance, this manual enjoys a great practical value, as some of the basic principles mentioned are as relevant today as they were three and a half centuries ago." .…
