and song. All major topics in bird biology are covered, including
in-depth explanations of anatomy, physiology, behavior, ecology, and
conservation; a history of birds beginning with the dinosaurs; an
exploration of the world's diversity of birds; and a guide to bird
watching. An audio CD of bird sounds is included to accompany the

artists.
