Around the World in 80 Birds
by Mike Unwin
This beautiful and inspiring book tells the stories of eighty birds around the world: from the sociable weaver bird in Namibia which constructs huge, multi-nest 'apartment blocks' in the desert, to the bar-headed goose of China, one of the highest-flying migrants which crosses the Himalayas twice a year. Many birds come steeped in folklore and myth, some are national emblems and a few have inspired scientific revelation or daring conservation projects. Each has a story to tell that sheds a light on our relationship with the natural world and reveals just how deeply birds matter to us.
