The Bird Book: The Stories, Science, and History of Birds (DK Nature Books)

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.Hawks, finches, swans, or birds of paradise, moving the focus away from a predictable species-by-species account and allowing for truly global coverage.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 their myriad of stories and symbolism.

Packed with information, beautiful photography, and illustrations, The Bird Book is a must-have for nature enthusiasts.
