Critiques en avant-première

Birds are highly intelligent animals, yet their intelligence is dramatically different from our own and has been little understood. As scientists come to understand more about the secrets of bird life, they are unlocking fascinating insights into memory, game theory, and the nature of intelligence itself. The Thing With Feathers explores the astonishing homing abilities of pigeons, the good deeds of fairy-wrens, the deft artistry of bowerbirds, the extraordinary memories of nutcrackers, the life-long loves of albatrosses, and other mysteries—revealing why birds do what they do, and offering a glimpse into our own nature. Noah Strycker is a birder and naturalist who has traveled the world in pursuit of his flighty subjects. Drawing deep from personal experience, cutting-edge science, and colorful history, he spins captivating stories about the birds in our midst and reveals the startlingly intimate co-existence of birds and humans. With humor, style, and grace, he shows how our view of the world is often, and remarkably, through the experience of birds. Beautiful and wise, funny and insightful, Bird World is a gripping and enlightening journey into the lives of birds.
