However, the authors not only shed light on the techniques and methods of hunting. They also look at the changes that hunting has undergone in recent years. In a time of increasing social criticism, hunting can no longer be justified by tradition alone. For this reason, Feierabend and Numßen also give animal welfare and nature conservation an important place in their work in order to redefine and demonstrate the motivation for hunting.

The illustrated book also provides insights into the connection between hunting and art as well as the numerous hunting locations around the globe. From the majestic landscapes of the Scottish Highlands to the vast plains of the African savannah, hunting takes us to some of the most beautiful and wild places in the world with their diverse animals. Impressive hunting lodges often represent these places and are also part of the illustrated book.

The authors also shed light on the prominent personalities associated with hunting. From famous writers and actors to musicians and politicians - many well-known names have been inspired by it, publicised their passion for hunting and thus shaped the image of the hunter.

Overall, "Hunting - The Ultimate Book" offers a comprehensive and fascinating insight into a world that is often controversial, yet rich in tradition, history and beauty. With its meticulous research, impressive images and well-founded texts, this illustrated book is not only an indispensable work for hunters and nature lovers, but also an inspiring read for anyone who wants to learn more about the fascinating world of hunting.
