Charles Harper’s Birds & Word s is the signature book of this bird and nature artist’s career. He describes his experience in his introduction to Birds & Words : I took my first good look at birds as subject matter. These are images that are hard to resist, even for birders enthralled with realism.

Time to give away a wonderful book on 10,000 Birds! Because this field guide is so darn good ( read my review here ) AND signed by two of those responsible for bringing the book to completion, we need to make this giveaway a little more involved than usual. Birders Library Mar 3rd, 2011 at 8:30 pm Great book.

The first twenty-nine pages of the book, after the acknowledgements, table of contents, and other prefatory materials, are devoted to the Pantanal and Cerrado and the need to conserve these two endangered biomes. The one major drawback to this book is actually an intended feature and not a glitch.

Jeff Masson's new book didn't cause me to unravel, but I did learn a lot about our friends and coevolvers, Canis familiaris. This Masson book ( here are all of them) is for Benjy, who was supposed to be a service dog but who was, shall we say, less than enthusiastic about the career choice that was made for him.

Here are some observations: When reading a book about gorillas to/with a seven-year old, I was struck by the mixed messages the book sent. Here 's the book, and in the preview you can see that in the beginning when the gorilla being described is male he is referred to as "he." We do that with cats and dogs already, right?
