THE BIRD BOOK

Delve into the fascinating world of birds through astonishing photography and clear
explanations  in this absorbing global guide   Birds are dinosaurs  with a history going back
millions of years. Our fascination with them runs deep in history and our close association is
reflected in creation stories  myths  legends  songs  and children's stories.  This book
explores both the natural history of birds and that deep cultural connection. From their
evolution and anatomy to their behaviour and diversity  spanning tiny dunnocks hiding in bushes
to ostriches strong enough to knock out a lion. Articles cover a group  such as hawks  finches
swans  or birds of paradise  moving the focus away from a predictable species-by-species
account and allowing for truly global coverage. Discover the bold nature of European Robins and
why they are associated with Christmas  the mythical Phoenix  which rises from the ashes  and
learn about eagles  from their hunting prowess to the myriad stories and symbolism associated
with them. Packed with information  and beautiful photography and illustrations  The Bird Book
is a must-have for nature enthusiasts.
