It does not have to be this way-- but we will not save what we do not love. "The book of birds" is a compendium of forty-nine bird species, from Avocet to Yellowhammer, all of which are declining or endangered. Inspired by the classic bird-books with which the authors grew up, this is a field guide with a difference. It asks not "What is that bird?," but "Who is that bird?" It shows its readers how to identify birds, but also how to identify with them.

Haskell décrit les canaux qu’emprunte l’odorat pour nous connecter intimement à chaque arbre, molécule par molécule. Ainsi, déceler la signature aromatique d’un frêne rouge ou d’un chêne, c’est prendre part à leurs conversations secrètes et mesurer la force du lien immémorial qui nous unit à ces autres êtres vivants. Entrez dans la forêt, humez l’écorce et la sève : c’est le monde entier que vous respirez.

With more than 180 entries—on topics as varied as Alice in Wonderland, chestnut blight, medicinal mushrooms, poisonings, Santa Claus, and waxy caps—this collection will transport both general readers and specialists into the remarkable universe of fungi. Combining ecological, ethnographic, historical, and contemporary knowledge, author and mycologist Lawrence Millman discusses how mushrooms are much more closely related to humans than to plants, how they engage in sex, how insects farm them, and how certain species happily dine on leftover radiation, cockroach antennae, and dung. Millman considers why fungi are among the most significant organisms on our planet and how they are currently being affected by destructive human behavior, including climate change.

Featuring nearly 200 entries—on topics ranging from plumage and migration to birds in art, literature, and folklore—this collection is brimming with wisdom and wit about all things avian. Christopher Leahy sheds light on 'hawk-watching,' 'twitching,' and other rituals from the sometimes mystifying world of birding that entail a good deal more than their names imply. He explains what kind of bird’s nests you can eat, why mocking birds mock, and many other curiosities that have induced otherwise sane people to peer into treetops using outrageously expensive optical equipment. Leahy shares illuminating insights about pioneering ornithologists such as John James Audubon and Florence Bailey, and describes unique bird behaviors such as anting, caching, duetting, and mobbing. He discusses avian fossils, the colloquial naming of birds, the science and history of ornithology, and more. The book’s convenient size makes it the perfect traveling companion to take along on your own avian adventures.
