THE BIRD WAY - JENNIFER ACKERMAN KARTONIERT (TB)

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Genius of Birds  a radical investigation into
the bird way of being  and the recent scientific research that it dramatically shifting our
understanding of birds-how they live and how they think.  "There is the mammal way and there is
the bird way." But the bird way is much more than a unique pattern of brain wiring  and lately
scientists have taken a new look at bird behaviors they have  for years  dismissed as anomalies
or mysteries. What they are finding is upending the traditional view of how birds conduct their
lives  how they communicate  forage  court  breed  survive. They're also revealing the
remarkable intelligence underlying these activities  abilities we once considered uniquely our
own.  Drawing on personal observations  the latest science  and her bird-related travel around
the world  from the tropical rainforests of eastern Australia and the remote woodlands of
northern Japan  to the rolling hills of lower Austria and the islands of Alaska's Kachemak Bay
Ackerman shows there is clearly no single bird way of being. In every respect  in plumage  form
song  flight  lifestyle  niche  and behavior  birds vary. It's what we love about them. As E.O
Wilson once said  when you have seen one bird  you have not seen them all.
