Krátky popis
In Birds and Us, award-winning writer and ornithologist Tim
Birkhead takes us on an epic and dazzling journey through this
mutual history with birds, from the ibises mummified and deified by
Ancient Egyptians to Renaissance experiments on woodpecker anatomy,
from Victorian obsessions with egg collecting to the present fight
to save endangered species and restore their habitats. Weaving in
stories from his own life as a scientist, including far-flung
expeditions to wondrous Neolithic caves in Spain and the bustling
guillemot colonies of the Faroe Islands, this rich and fascinating
book is the culmination of a lifetime's research and unforgettably
shows how birds shaped us, and how we have shaped them. 'Birds and
Us wings its way through 12,000 years of our species' engagement
with the avian world.Birkhead tells it all with delightful gusto,
plaiting personal encounters with challenging historical research
and bewitching scientific rigor' Tim Dee'Thought-provoking at every
turn, this inspiring, shocking, wonder-filled exploration of our
relationship with birds from earliest times delivers a sobering
challenge to us living with birds today' Isabella Tree, author of
Wilding'A fascinating book about the close and often surprising
relationship between birds and people, written by one of our
leading ornithologists' Stephen Moss
