Produktinformationen zu „The Life of Birds “
A tie-in to a major new BBC natural history series to be shown in ten parts on BBC1 this autumn, fronted by the ever-popular David Attenborough. Here, he uncovers a wealth of new research into the lives and behaviour of one of earth's most perfectly adapted life forms, exploring their methods of finding food, their complex social systems, and their often bizarre mating and breeding rituals. Illustrated throughout with truly outstanding colour photography, this promises to be a big seller this Christmas. A full range of POS is also available.
Klappentext zu „The Life of Birds “
BIRDS. Over 9,000 species, the most widespread of all animals: on icebergs, in the Sahara or under the sea, at home in our gardens or flying for over a year at a time. Earthbound, we can only look and listen, enjoying their lightness, freedom and richness of plumage and song. David Attenborough has been watching and learning all his life. His new book, with its accompanying series of films for BBC TV, is a brilliant introduction to bird behavious around the world: what they do and why they do it. He looks at each step in birds' lives and the problems they have to solve: learning to fly; finding food; communicating; mating and caring for nests, eggs and young; migrating; facing dangers and surviving harsh conditions. Sir David has no equal in helping others to learn and making it exciting. His curiosity and enjoyment are infectious. He shows the lifelong pleasure that birds around us offer, and how much we miss if unaware of them. ""This superb book vividly conveys the beauty of birds and the extraodinary richness of their behaviour."" Dr. Neil Chalmers, Director, The Natural History Museum, London
