Counterpoint is a collection of banjo duets, where Miles has taken traditional melodies and created a second banjo part in counterpoint harmony. Counterpoint harmony (vs parallel harmony) has a rhythm and melody of its own, distinct from the main melody. the result is an exquisite sound that enriches these ancient melodies and breathes a revitalized life into them. When Pete Seeger heard it he said, this is one of the most beautiful recordings I have heard in all my 70 years....it''s enough to make me want to learn the banjo all over again.

Peter Bircham looks at the history of British ornithology from 1066 to the mid-1970s, exploring along the way the first bird book written, the compilation of the original British lists, various notable collectors, the first studies of migration, significant changes to the classification of species, through to the birth of the British Ornithologists'' Union in 1858 and what our current understanding of ornithology in Britain means to us today. This extremely authoritative and engrossing account packed full of fascinating stories, journal notations and poem extracts should hold great appeal to the wider birding community as well as the established New Naturalist audience.

An annotated systematic list of the species recorded and includes introductory chapters dealing with the Cambridgeshire countryside and where to go birdwatching.

The poetry in this book was written during a time when I was having a series of deep inner experiences which I now know as "the light in the head". It began a process which, over time, blended both the head and heart paths into a single path. It is a journey which has not ended; much like Tolkien''s road, it goes ever on and on. The biggest difficulty of any medium is to express the depth and quality of the inner experience and to convey it to the reader or viewer or listener. Words are like the shadows on the wall of Plato''s cave and at best are reminders that we need to turn our head to their source and look into the Light for ourselves. 25 poems and one meditation, or, 26 meditations. I hope you, the reader, find them inspiring or thought provoking or meditative.
