Around the World in 80 Birds

Product Information

Unwin en Miyake leverden een interessant, mooi overzichtswerk van de meest fantastische vogels van de wereld.

Their avian abilities also mean they can escape danger and relatively easily re-settle which makes them highly adaptive too.The concept seems a bit dated with a personal selection of best birds based on geographic representation, unusual habits and beauty. It's a remarkable show of artistic versatility, made even more impressive by the time constraints alluded to in the afterword.

This is a wonderful book to add to the collection of anyone interested in either or both birds and avian art. The book follows the formula of the previous two ‘Around the World in 80…’ books and explores a small selection of birds from around the world in the context of their importance, interaction with humans, rarity, or some other factor chosen by the author.

Each has a story to tell that sheds a light on our relationship with the natural world and reveals just how deeply birds matter to us. El mundo de las aves es un mundo sorprendente, y con los años, conforme ha ido aumentando mi contacto con la naturaleza y los animales, y mi búsqueda constante de la belleza, ha ido también creciendo mi admiración e interés por ellas. In accordance with The Post Office, the last recommended date for Christmas posting is 18th December (2nd Class) and 20th December (First class).I'm very taken with Australia's southern cassowary, a 'living dinosaur', weighing 154lb and not to be trifled with. Mención especial a la belleza de ilustraciones de Ryuto Miyake, que me han tenido embelesada toda la lectura. That’s not to say the book itself isn’t good - it’s fantastic and has a ton of good information on in unique bird species.

Once again, the book provides a very nice if not too detailed look at the most recognizeable birds from each of the above-mentioned regions. Japanese artist Ryuto Miyake's illustrations are a delight - COUNTRY LIFE You may also be interested in. However, that Mike Unwin does not bother with avian evolution in Around the World in 80 Birds, that he has no section devoted to extinct birds and is in my opinion often not nearly critical and condemning enough regarding birds threatened and endangered by us humans, by our actions, by habit loss, by over-hunting, pollution and the like, this has definitely rather bothered me (and enough so that my final rating for Around the World in 80 Birds simply cannot be higher than three stars, still to be warmly recommended, but also with some caveats and reservations).

Some so brilliantly colorful and - I expect - quite detailed as many of the examples I have only seen in photos.

This beautiful and inspiring book tells the stories of 80 birds around the world: from the Sociable Weaver Bird in Namibia which constructs huge, multi-nest ‘apartment blocks’ in the desert, to the Bar-headed Goose of China, one of the highest-flying migrants which crosses the Himalayas twice a year. From the Sociable Weaver Bird to the Bar-headed Goose of China, Unwin takes a global survey of some of the most important, intriguing and influential birds on the planet in this exquisite volume boasting gorgeous artwork from Ryuto Miyake.I mean, three were gone when I showed up and the one who was alive didn’t speak English and lived across an ocean so I saw her maybe five times.
