Summary
"A great thinning of the skies is underway. Around 50 percent of bird species are in decline worldwide. Our dawns are quieter each year than the last, and an almost unimaginable abundance has been lost. It does not have to be this way--but we will not save what we do not love. Inspired by the classic bird-books with which the authors grew up, The Book of Birds is a field guide with a difference: It aims to show its readers how to identify birds, but also how to identify with them. In this dazzling celebration of endangered birds by the beloved duo behind The Lost Words and The Lost Spells, Robert Macfarlane and Jackie Morris together conjure the unique spirit of nearly fifty once-common species: from avocet to yellowhammer, kestrel to kingfisher, skylark to nightingale. The Book of Birds is a love letter to the great variety and wild mysteries of birdlife, and a clarion call to halt their rapid depletion from our skies."--Back cover.
