Acknowledgements‌

 

My thanks to Jonathan Burt, series editor, to Michael Leaman, Harry Gilonis, and to friends and colleagues who supplied photographs and images and com- mented on the manuscript: Stephen Bodio, Tom Cade, Erin Gott, Nick Jardine, Rob Jenks, John Loft, James Macdonald, Tamsin Mather, Rob Ralley, Mark Sprevak, Roy Wilkinson and Charles Young. Special thanks are due to Colonel
S. Kent Carnie, Archivist of the Archives of Falconry in Boise, Idaho, for his wonderful hospitality and assistance to an expat researcher; to Nick Fox, who generously allowed use of his photographic archives, and to Eugene Potapov for information on falcon myths in Central Asia. The financial assistance of Jesus College, Cambridge, and the Williamson Fund of the Department of History and Philosophy of Science, University of Cambridge, helped with pic- ture reproductions. I am hugely grateful to Christina McLeish for support throughout the writing up of the manuscript. And last of all, very special thanks are due to my infinitely patient parents, who let a small girl’s kestrel roost at night on her bedroom bookcase, despite the mess.
