Birds have colonised every corner of our planet and developed a dazzling variety of different forms, ranging from the tiny hummingbird to the Golden Eagle.   Masters of the air, they are the most visible of all animal groups because they rarely need to hide  - they can escape most danger just by flying away.

This book celebrates all aspects of bird and bird life.  It describes and illustrates all the avian families, offers the reader an understanding of bird behaviour and traces the interaction of birds and peoples down the centuries.

An authoritative text is fully illustrated with magnificent photographs and artistic representations which record both the scientific study of birds and the cultural roles wich they have played in human life.
