THE BIRD WAY - JENNIFER ACKERMAN KARTONIERT (TB)

A SUNDAY TIMES NATURE BOOK OF THE YEAR It's flight and egg and feathers and song. It's the
demure plumage of a mountain thornbill and the extravagant tail feathers of an Indian paradise
flycatcher  the solo song of a superb lyrebird and the perfectly timed duets of canebrake wrens
an osprey's hurtling dive toward the sea  and a long-legged heron's still  patient eyeing of
the dark water.There is no single bird way of being.Drawing on personal observations  the
latest science  and her bird-related travel around the world  Jennifer Ackerman playfully
explores our dramatically shifting understanding of these magnificent animals.'Jennifer
Ackerman knows what she's talking about...Her knack for catching the personalities of different
species in gorgeous  playful prose further collapses comfortable barriers between the human and
the birdlike' Daily Telegraph'The real joy of [this] book is its close attention to some of the
specialists of the region... Ackerman is alive to the humour at play in field research ' Mark
