Notes: "There has always been a special relationship between men and falcons. Over the centuries, falconers have trained, worked, and cared for their feathered hunting partners. In One Sense Missing this relationship is taken further, for the falcon in question is blind. Unable to live the same life as a sighted falcon, Mrs T is nurtured with immense care and patience as well as experience and scientific knowledge. ... interwoven with her tale are tales of other birds of prey, experiences recounted by other breeders and scientists, and many enquiries into the nature of blindness, and how falcons behave under different circumstances. There are links to wildlife, the environment; conservation challenges that have been addressed; and current conservation challenges."--Page 4 of cover.
