Krátky popis
From the bestselling author of The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs,
this is the engrossing story of the dinosaurs that live among
us.Billions of birds share the planet with us. With their
flamboyant plumage and joyous dawn serenades, many of them are
impossible to miss. But how did they get here, how did they break
the bounds of Earth and begin to fly, and how does their legacy
shape our world?In delightfully energetic prose, expert
palaeontologist Steve Brusatte takes us through their
150-million-year history, from their origins among small
carnivorous dinosaurs to the 10,000-plus species that thrive
today.Along the way, we meet fantastic birds from all around the
world, some known only through fossils. There are elephant birds
that stand as high as a basketball hoop and lay eggs as big as
watermelons, demon ducks that weigh more than cows, aeroplane-sized
seabirds that soar the world's thermals, and predatory penguins the
size of gorillas.This deep-dive into the evolutionary origins of
birds reveals them to be some of the best adapted and most
fined-tuned animals to ever exist in our world. Lively, majestic
and full of wonder, The Story of Birds will ensure you never see
birds the same way again.Praise for The Rise and Fall of the
