Ten Birds That Changed the World — a review

10,000 Birds

The book is a grab-bag of facts about the ten birds, mostly culled from other works. Hundreds of millions of sparrows were killed, almost to the point of extinction. Chapter 10 of Moss’s book, which purports to deal with this symbolism, is decidedly weird. Basic Books, New York, $30 U.S., By Stephen Moss.
