Summary

Dove Facts offers a comprehensive exploration into the world of doves, examining their biology, cultural significance, and ecological roles. This book delves into why doves have been perceived as symbols of peace and hope across cultures for millennia. Intriguingly, doves possess remarkable homing abilities, navigating vast distances using a combination of magnetic reception, celestial navigation, and olfactory cues. The book also highlights how their gentle nature is supported by physiological adaptations, including unique vocalizations that strengthen social bonds within flocks.

 
The book progresses from exploring the biology of doves to their historical and cultural importance, and finally to their ecological role and conservation. Specific examples include the dove's representation of the Holy Spirit in Christian iconography, and its use in secular contexts to advocate for peace. The book emphasizes the importance of seed dispersal and nutrient cycling by doves in various ecosystems, while also addressing the threats they face due to habitat loss and climate change.

 
Dove Facts integrates insights from ornithology, cultural anthropology, and environmental science, making it valuable for bird enthusiasts, students, and anyone interested in nature and life sciences.

    An author’s walk “from source to sea along the Ouse in Sussex is a meandering, meditative delight” drawing on history, literature, and the river itself (The Guardian, UK). In To The River, author Olivia Laing embarks on a weeklong, midsummer odyssey along the banks of the River Ouse in Sussex, England, from its source near Haywards Heath to the sea, where it empties into the Channel at Newhaven. More than sixty years after Virginia Woolf drowned herself in the River Ouse, Laing still finds inspiration and guidance in the author’s abiding presence. Through cow pastures, woods, and neighborhood streets, Laing’s meandering walk occasions a profound and haunting reflection on histories both personal and cultural, and on landscapes both physical and emotional. Along the way, she explores the roles that rivers play in human lives, tracing their intricate flow through literature, mythology and folklore. Lyrical and stirring, To the River is a passionate investigation into how history resides in a landscape - and how ghosts never quite leave the places they love.“Magical…By turns lyrical, melancholic and exultant, To the River just makes you want to follow Olivia Laing all the way to the sea.”—Daily Telegraph, UK
