The Stories, Science, and History of Birds with Smithsonian Biologist Jay Falk

Delve into the fascinating world of birds through astonishing photography and clear explanations in this absorbing global guide,The Bird Book: The Stories, Science, and History of Birds.

Birds are dinosaurs with a history going back millions of years. Our fascination with them runs deep in history, and our close association is reflected in creation stories, myths, legends, songs, and children's stories.

This book and presentation explore:

• Both the natural history of birds and that deep cultural connection. From their evolution and anatomy to their behavior and diversity.

• Hawks, finches, swans, or birds of paradise, moving the focus away from a predictable species-by-species account and allowing for truly global coverage.
