David Attenborough treks through rain forests and deserts, through city
streets and isolated wilderness, to bring us an illuminating panorama of
every aspect of birds' lives: from their songs to their search for food,
from their eggs and nests to their mastery of the air. Beautifully
illustrated with more than two hundred color photographs, the book will
delight and inform bird lovers and any general reader with an interest
in nature. The book presents birds in all their complexity and glory,
revealing in clear and elegant prose Attenborough's infectious sense of
wonder about the rich variety of life on Earth.
