What It's Like to Be a Bird
Author: David Allen Sibley
Publisher: Knopf
ISBN: 0525520295
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
The bird book for birders and nonbirders alike that will excite and inspire by providing a new and deeper understanding of what common, mostly backyard, birds are doing—and why: "Can birds smell?"; "Is this the same cardinal that was at my feeder last year?"; "Do robins 'hear' worms?" "The book's beauty mirrors the beauty of birds it describes so marvelously." —NPR In What It's Like to Be a Bird, David Sibley answers the most frequently asked questions about the birds we see most often. This special, large-format volume is geared as much to nonbirders as it is to the out-and-out obsessed, covering more than two hundred species and including more than 330 new illustrations by the author. While its focus is on familiar backyard birds—blue jays, nuthatches, chickadees—it also examines certain species that can be fairly easily observed, such as the seashore-dwelling Atlantic puffin. David Sibley's exacting artwork and wide-ranging expertise bring observed behaviors vividly to life. (For most species, the primary illustration is reproduced life-sized.) And while the text is aimed at adults—including fascinating new scientific research on the myriad ways birds have adapted to environmental changes—it is nontechnical, making it the perfect occasion for parents and grandparents to share their love of birds with young children, who will delight in the big, full-color illustrations of birds in action. Unlike any other book he has written, What It's Like to Be a Bird is poised to bring a whole new audience to David Sibley's world of birds.

Wings of the Same Bird
Author: Lorraine McGuigan
Publisher: ReadHowYouWant.com
ISBN: 1458724840
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 110
Book Description
WINGS OF THE SAME BIRD is an impressive collection grown from the mythological idea linking birds and the human world with divine realms just beyond ordinary experience. The collection was the Winner of the IP Picks 09 Best Poetry Award. The poems connect birds with the journey of the human soul after death, representing them as primeval, cosmic, legendary, as messengers of the deities, symbols of war, death and misfortune, but also as profound harbingers of strength, love and wisdom. The poetry collection also handles grief from an objective, elevated and (excuse the pun) 'bird's eye' perspective.

Bird of a Thousand Eyes
Author: Janet E. Aalfs
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780981982038
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 117
Book Description
Janet E. Aalfs was the poet laureate of Northampton, Massachusetts from 2003 to 2005. Her work weaves poetry and martial arts dance in performing, teaching, and social justice activism locally, nationally and internationally. Collections of her poems are Reach (Perugia Press, 1999), Full Open (Orogeny Press, 1996), and Of Angels and Survivors (Two Herons Press, 1992).Thomas Sayers Ellis, author of Skin Inc.: Identity Repair Poems (Graywolf Press, 2010), has this to say about Bird of a Thousand Eyes. "The author does not tease or play games with the poetic toolbox. She is creatively honest, lyric and imagistic, and always gathering ideas and redefining the corners of perception. There are many styles and poetic containers here, all governed by the integrity of various ways of breathingthese lines, nearly, pluck themselves. It's hard to poetically combine wisdom and experience without sounding like the know-it-all master of simile and metaphor, but Aalfs does so in stanzas that stay open long after they break or close."
