The Wisdom of Birds
by Tim Birkhead
This book reflects my passion for the science of ornithology. In it, one of our most brilliant zoologists covers, with his characteristic lucidity, the story of the subject in a very special way, by looking at various aspects of bird biology (the breeding cycle, infidelity, song, territoriality, migration, and so on) through the history of those who have studied birds through the ages.
