Summary:
"For the whole of human history, we have lived alongside
birds
. We have hunted and domesticated them for food; venerated them in our mythologies, religions, and rituals; exploited them for their natural resources; and been inspired by them for our music, art, and poetry. In 'Ten
Birds
That
Changed
the
World
,' naturalist and author Stephen Moss tells the gripping story of this long and intimate relationship through key species from all seven of the
world
's continents. From Odin's faithful raven companions to Darwin's finches, and from the wild turkey of the Americas to the emperor penguin as potent symbol of the climate crisis, this is a fascinating, eye-opening, and endlessly engaging work of natural history."--From publisher.
