Each episode of the narrative arises from personal experience, investigation, and the unearthing of information from research, exploration and conversations.The journey takes him from an encounter with a stuffed Goshawk in a glass case, through travels into supposed Goshawk territories in Britain, to Berlin - where he finds the bird at ease in the city. Why, he wants to know, is the bird so rarely seen in Britain?He explores the politics of birdwatching, the sport of falconry and the impact of persecution on the recent history of the bird in Britain and travels the length of Britain, through central Europe and the USA in search of answers to the goshawk mystery. Throughout his journey he is inspired by the writings of T H White who told of his attempts to tame a Goshawk in his much-loved book.It's a gripping tale on the trail of a most mysterious and charismatic bird.
American scientist and author Rachel Carson is said to have sparked the modern day environmental movement with the publication of Silent Spring in 1962. She made vivid the prospect of life without birdsong. But has her warning been heeded?Fifty years on, Conor Mark Jameson reflects on the growth of environmentalism since Silent Spring was published. His revealing and engaging tale plots milestone events in conservation, popular culture and political history in the British Isles and beyond, tracing a path through the half century since 'zero hour', 1962. Around this he weaves his own observations and touching personal experiences, seeking to answer the question: what happened to the birds, and birdsong, and why does it matter?

Following the minor success of his first book, Time for True Democracy, on the historical nonexistence of authentic democracy, Alex, an embattled young philosopher living near the California Bay Area, seeks emancipation from the conventional, unfulfilling western way of life, a covetous life of ceaseless unnaturality, financial duress and corporate servitude. Yearning to recover from health ills plaguing him since childhood, his instinct pulls him toward the quiet solitude of the soaring redwood forests and meandering Noyo River upon which he spent his first happy, simple, adventurous years. Alex purchases the land from his father and puts himself on the path towards a purer, natural way of life freed from the mental and economic stresses and constraints of a parasitic world to which he refuses to continue supporting. As a larger residence is being built from locally-sourced materials, Alex moves into the studio apartment his father built by hand on the property. There, he immerses himself within a symbiotic, mutually-cultivating relationship with the natural realm while following an inborn drive to uncover the root truths feeding into all things. Through a confluence of pure heart and naturally philosophical mind, he uncovering answers to the most important questions in life. Correspondence with former friends and classmates seeking similar departures from the mainstream mindset leads to several joining him on the property, gradually coalescing into a small community dedicated to a purer, sustainable lifestyle of social, intellectual and spiritual exploration and enrichment.
