Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
An authoritative and entertaining exploration of Australias distinctive birds and their unheralded role in global evolutionRenowned for its gallery of unusual mammals, Australia is also a land of extraordinary birds. But unlike the mammals, the birds of Australia flew beyond the continents boundaries and around the globe many millions of years ago. This eyeopening book tells the dynamic but littleknown story of how Australia provided the world with songbirds and parrots, among other bird groups, why Australian birds wield surprising ecological power, how Australia became a major evolutionary center, and why scientific biases have hindered recognition of these discoveries.From violent, swooping magpies to toolmaking cockatoos, Australias birds are strikingly different from birds of other landsoften more intelligent and aggressive, often larger and longerlived. Tim Low, a renowned biologist with a rare storytelling gift, here presents the amazing evolutionary history of Australias birds. The story of the birds, it turns out, is inseparable from the story of the continent itself and also the people who inhabit it.
