About this deal

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

Reading this book, I was often reminded of this haunting sentence from a New Yorker article: “To be alive and explore nature now is to read by the light of a library as it burns. Publication dates are subject to change (although this is an extremely uncommon occurrence overall). Birds are shown in their plumage, nesting and on the hunt and at play, and occasionally in their most common interactions with human beings.We get a nice overview of what the birds look like, their way of life and brief anecdotes of what they are known for (like them being national emblems and why, if they are featured in important literary works, legends or myths etc).

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.Mención especial a la belleza de ilustraciones de Ryuto Miyake, que me han tenido embelesada toda la lectura. I'd never heard of the oilbird or the purple-crested turaco before but my world is much the richer for having learned about them here. Maar Een reis om de wereld slaat me met verstomming: wat een kleuren, wat een variatie, hoe indrukwekkend mooi en boeiend.
