Hardcover. Zustand: new. Hardcover. Based on Les Hill's 63 years of fly fishing in New Zealand, HOOKED FOR LIFE is packed with interesting, amusing and informative anecdotes. Lavishly illustrated with over 130 superb large-format colour photographs that not only invite one into the book, but also reveal the beauty of our rivers, streams, lakes and countryside, and encourage the reader to head out to experience the wonderful world of fly fishing. The perfect gift for any angler. The book resonates with the sheer joy of hunting and catching trout, while imparting a lifetime's worth of invaluable lessons on how to go about it. The reader will not only benefit from the author's years of experience with nymph and dry fly, but will enjoy soaking up the special atmosphere he evokes and relive vicariously the primal contest between angler and fish. Along the way they'll learn to think like a trout and understand the nature of the world it lives in; get some tips on streamside photography; and come to appreciate the author's view that it is often more satisfying to catch one special fish than a large number on a particular day, or that the trout that gets away can provide as much fun as several brought to a net. In the second part of the book, Dr Graham Macdonald's thoughtful chapters on fishing and wellness give an insight into the therapeutic benefits of fly fishing, an unusual angle not often explored in fly fishing literature. Packed with interesting, amusing and informative anecdotes and lavishly illustrated with 130 superb large-format colour photographs that reveal the beauty of our rivers, streams, lakes and countryside, and encourage readers to head out to experience the wonderful world of fly fishing.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Michael Willis was ten years old, already keeping rabbits, guinea pigs, frogs, possums and birds in his parents' garden and dreaming of running a zoo of his own. Then came a life-changing present: a copy of naturalist Gerald Durrell's The Bafut Beagles. Suddenly the idea of working with animals became more than just a fantasy. A lot of hard work and ingenuity later, the dream came true in 1974, when Michael opened Willowbank Wildlife Reserve, on the outskirts of Christchurch. An immensely popular and prize-winning tourist attraction, Willowbank is home to a rich collection of exotic and native animals, from kiwi and kea to otters, camels and monkeys.But that has been only part of the story. Over the years Michael has been increasingly driven to save and conserve rare livestock breeds, many of them far more endangered than some of their familiar native counterparts. He has travelled New Zealand, and the world, in his quest to save these often forgotten animals from extinction. Whether it is rediscovering the tasselled and beguiling kune kune pig, saving the goats of remote Arapawa Island, capturing wild pigs on the forbidding Auckland Islands, bringing back to life the lost wild cattle of Enderby Island or travelling to the Galapagos in search of threatened wild donkeys, his has been a life full of adventure, and full of the animals he loves. And the search continues.Just as he did in his delightful, best-selling first book, Some of My Best Friends are Animals, Michael Willis recounts his sometimes perilous and always riveting experiences with warmth, passion and infectiously laconic humour. Rescue will make you laugh and gasp, and think. For, as he reminds us, in an uncertain world, the saving of these animals could be the saving of us all. In Barry Crump-style Michael Willis tells about his saving rare breeds from extinction, including rediscovering the kune kune pig, saving the goats of Arapawa Island, wild pigs on Auckland Island, the lost wild cattle of Enderby Island, and the threatened wild donkeys on the Galapagos. A life full of adventure with the animals he loves. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.…
