Nature's Ghosts: Confronting Extinction from the Age of Jefferson to the Age of Ecology Mark V. Barrow
Birds of the world are portrayed in all their colourful glory by Tim Flach, the world’s leading animal photographer
Radiating grace, intelligence, and humour, and always in motion, birds tantalize the human imagination. Working for years in his studio and the field, Tim Flach has portrayed nature’s most exquisite creatures alertly at rest or dramatically in flight, capturing intricate feather patterns and subtle coloration invisible to the naked eye.
From familiar friends to marvellous rarities, Flach’s birds convey the beauty and wonder of the natural world. Here are all manner of songbirds, parrots, and birds of paradise; birds of prey, water birds, and theatrical domestic breeds. The brilliant ornithologist Richard O. Prum is our guide to this magical kingdom.
