Illustrated and Indexed.  Introduction by S. Dillon Ripley, Secretary Emeritus, Smithsonian Institution.

No creatures on this planet have been more admired by human beings than birds.  Masters of flight, they captivate us with their aerial powers and grace, and futher enchant us with their brilliant colours and melodious songs.

This book was produced under the imprimatur of the Smithsonian Institution whose role in the study of birds worldwide can only be described as historic.  

The text illuminates the long and rich relationship between birds and human society;  the origins of birds hundreds of millions of years ago;  their incredible variety and the role of the changing configuration of the continents on their geographical distribution;  the physical requirements of flight;  subsistence and migratory patterns;  communication and bird society;  and the problem of endangered species.

With magnificent full colour illustrations throughout, this book will become indispensable for bird lovers everywhere.
