This is a kit for everyone who has ever looked into the night sky and wondered what the names of the constellations were. The interactive kit contains two wiro-bound books, a planisphere and a red flashlight, for reading your star maps when out in the field. The "Star Guide" is your complete guide to astronomy - from studying the heavens to the ancient naming of the constellations to galaxies and the solar system. "Mapping the Skies" concentrates more specifically on star spotting and takes the reader through month-by-month, explaining which stars you will be able to see at a particular time of the year. Accompanied by clear star maps, the book shows exactly what you will see, depending on the time you are looking and the direction you are looking in.

This comprehensive guide looks at all aspects of taking great photographs of birds, illustrated throughout with the author's fabulous pictures and full of practical advice on equipment and working methods. The practicalities of working in the field are the fundamental skills for any bird photographer and here the author's many years of professional experience allow him to explain clearly his methods for stalking, using hides, capturing action or rare birds, even in tough conditions, as well as advanced techniques such as using decoys or tapes. Each section contains a feature interview with a successful bird photographer showcasing their work and the particular techniques or subjects, and an extended section of case studies shows how these field techniques are put into practice to capture stunning images of many birds.
