Around the World in 80 Birds

Author Mike Unwin invites readers on an avian journey around the globe, celebrating 80 of the world`s most awe-inspiring birds and revealing their impact on our lives. From Namibia`s sociable weaver, constructor of huge multi-nest `apartment blocks` in the desert, to China`s bar-headed goose, a high-flying migrant that crosses the Himalayas twice a year, each has a remarkable story to tell. Ryuto Miyake`s exquisite illustrations grace every page, bringing to life this timely reminder of the ways in which birds need us, and we need them.
