What reading level is The Importance of Bird Life a Popular Account of Its Economic Significance And book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was merely a new means of procuring meat, and apparently it remained on that footing for several centuries. The employment of it as a sport did not come into vogue until the time of the first crusades and probably was derived directly from the Saracens, who had already followed it for centuries. At any rate, the first great boom of falconry in Italy and France broke out in the ninth century of the Christian era. In England all men, be they serf or thane, had enjoyed its thrills and spoils, b...ut with the arrival of the Normans it became a " no- ble" sport. Henceforth the high social status of falconry was fixed throughout Europe. Only the nobility could fly the best birds, and as a sport it ranked on an even footing with stag hunting. Centuries passed and its popularity waxed rather than decreased. Then, one sorry day, gunpowder and the fowling-piece appeared. The "kingly" sport waned into obscurity until now it has only a few followers in Europe. BIRDS TRAINED TO HUNT 117 2 Types of Hawks Before entering into a discussion of hawking as practised in Europe during the Middle Ages, and, for that matter, to a small extent to-day, a more detailed description of the proper kinds of hawks should be given.
