Download or read book Remarkable Birds written by Mark Avery and published by Thames & Hudson. This book was released on 2016-09-13 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everything you didn’t know about the avian world: a fascinating compendium showcasing the extraordinary wonders of birds, illuminated with exquisite ornithological illustrations, prints, and drawings Humans share the Earth with more than 10,000 species of birds and have always been enchanted by them. Birds can be a sign of the changing seasons, a symbol of freedom, or simply a breathtaking vision of beauty. Remarkable Birds approaches these fascinating creatures thematically across eight sections covering all aspects of humans’ relationship with birds. “Songbirds” celebrates the greatest bird virtuosi, such as the nightingale, while “Birds of Prey” includes majestic hunters such as the harpy eagle. “Feathered Travelers” describes astounding journeys made by birds including tiny hummingbirds that migrate huge distances. “The Love Life of Birds” illuminates the most brilliant displays upon which different species rely to find a mate—notably the extravagant plumage and dances of birds of paradise. “Avian Cities” explores the spectacular, large colonies of species such as the flamingo, while “Useful to Us” examines the diverse ways we find birds valuable, such as the turkey or the canary. “Threatened & Extinct” describes some species that have been lost forever, and others on the brink. Birds have also had great mystical significance and “Revered & Adored” considers such species as the sacred ibis, believed by the ancient Egyptians to represent the god Thoth.

Book Synopsis The Ravenmaster by : Christopher Skaife

Book excerpt: For centuries, the Tower of London has been home to a group of famous avian residents: the ravens. Each year they are seen by millions of visitors, and they have become as integral a part of the Tower as its ancient stones. But their role is even more important than that—legend has it that if the ravens should ever leave, the Tower will crumble into dust and great harm will befall the kingdom. The responsibility for ensuring that such a disaster never comes to pass falls to one man: the Ravenmaster. The current holder of the position is Yeoman Warder Christopher Skaife, and in this fascinating, entertaining and touching book he memorably describes the ravens’ formidable intelligence, their idiosyncrasies and their occasionally wicked sense of humour. The Ravenmaster is a compelling, inspiring and irreverent story that will delight and surprise anyone with an interest in British history or animal behaviour.

Book Synopsis In the Company of Crows and Ravens by : John M. Marzluff
Download or read book In the Company of Crows and Ravens written by John M. Marzluff and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2008-10-01 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Crows and people share similar traits and social strategies. To a surprising extent, to know the crow is to know ourselves.”—from the Preface From the cave walls at Lascaux to the last painting by Van Gogh, from the works of Shakespeare to those of Mark Twain, there is clear evidence that crows and ravens influence human culture. Yet this influence is not unidirectional, say the authors of this fascinating book: people profoundly influence crow culture, ecology, and evolution as well. John Marzluff and Tony Angell examine the often surprising ways that crows and humans interact. The authors contend that those interactions reflect a process of “cultural coevolution.” They offer a challenging new view of the human-crow dynamic—a view that may change our thinking not only about crows but also about ourselves. Featuring more than 100 original drawings, the book takes a close look at the influences people have had on the lives of crows throughout history and at the significant ways crows have altered human lives. In the Company of Crows and Ravens illuminates the entwined histories of crows and people and concludes with an intriguing discussion of the crow-human relationship and how our attitudes toward crows may affect our cultural trajectory.
Download or read book Lito Wuz Here written by Josue Rios and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2022-01-14 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I decided to call the book Lito Wuz Here and use a picture of the neighborhood I grew up in (Georgetown South) because I want to be able to inspire young kids who grew up in that neighborhood or in a similar one. Lito is my childhood nickname; my siblings, along with close family and friends, still call me that. When I was growing up in the South (Georgetown South), there were times when I felt trapped and thought to myself that I would never make anything of myself in life. I look back now and realize the drugs and alcohol had a heavy influence on the mindset that I had at that age. I am now thirty-one years old and have been completely sober since Christmas of 2019. Many of my poems were written while hospitalized in many different psych wards and throughout many sleepless nights. It makes me realize that there is a purpose, even for our hardships in life. My goal is to reach out to anyone that is willing to hear and make them realize there is always hope, no matter where you come from. That hope may just not come from a direction you initially thought. I never thought nor had the goal of becoming a published author or poet. I wrote my first poem in April 15, 2020, and have been writing them ever since. Though I do not follow a certain poetic format, I believe I’ve meshed my love for hip-hop and my fondness for poetry and developed my own style, which is the way I like to write. My poetry book, Lito Wuz Here, was written with the hopes of inspiring a younger generation.
