Literature and essays, trivia and humor, poetry and instructional material--all bird related--fill the pages of this sweetly illustrated "Little Big Book." Some highlights include David Quammen's humorous, but well-reasoned, theory that crows suffer from ennui because they are too smart for their own good; D. H. Lawrence's dazzling tribute to the hummingbird; and Roger Tory Peterson's observation that, "In order to see birds, it is necessary to become part of the silence." The Little Big Book of Birds will give voluminous joy to anyone with even a flitting interest in, well, birds.
