The Philosophy and Ethics of Falconry, Colten White, 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", Soft Bound, 151 Pages
I find this a well-written book on the sport, which gives the falconer the ammunition they need to defend their sport when it comes to all the political correctness we suffer today. It will help you frame your sport in words to discuss the sport in all its many facets. David Frank, Western Sporting
While many falconry books briefly touch on the ethics of the sport, "The Philosophy & Ethics of Falconry" is entirely dedicated to addressing the chief ethical and philosophical questions at the heart of falconry. Reader, whether they are aspiring, new, or experienced falconers (or simply someone intrigued by the unique method of hunting) will be introduced to the several philosophical traditions and what wisdom they have to offer for falconry. This book also responds to the critics of falconry and offers a robust ethical defense of the sport from an internationally recognized teacher of philosophy and debate. Regardless of the reader's experience with falconry or style of hawking, everyone will walk away from this book with a richer understanding of what makes the sport worth pursuing and how it fits into an examined, ethical, and worthwhile life.
