How Birds Work: An Illustrated Guide to the Wonders of Form and Function―from Bones to Beak (How Nature Works)

I absolutely love it, contains a lot of usual information and cool diagrams. I just got it and I'm already in love. 10/10!!

Buy this book ... if you have interest in birds ...Simply *amazing* look into birding !

This book blew my mind. It is a full on anatomy course for birds! I have read all the standard books, Gill, Cornell Lab, etc. But this took things to a new level. Complete detailed chapters for all parts of the bird, including eyes, skin, feathers to discussion of individual bones in detailed sections. A must for anyone wanting to get to know and understand more intimate details about birds.

Amateur nature lovers and professional birders can all take something from this wonderful book. Amazing tales, carefully researched, of how our feathered friends survive migration.

While this is not the most detailed book it is FAR better than i thought id be getting for 15 dollars. This is a pretty cool little book and its actually pretty thick. I was expecting a small booklet with some anatomy diagrams but theres actually quite a few chapters of coverage in this. Pretty stoked to read through it!

This is a basic bird biology book which follows a biology book format. Basic is the key word. Would be helpful to have at least high school biology to appreciate it. The biggest downside is there are no references, you don’t know where the information comes from if you want more detail.There could be more diagrams and fewer bird pictures which would make it more informative.Information you won’t find in a bird field book.Good book for the price.

Gave alot of info. Not what i was looking for but it is nice. A Small coffee table book.

Interesting little book with lots of good information about birds! Easy to read.

Easy to read and meticulous in detail, along with many illustrations, this book will be a great addition to any birdwatcher's library. This book covers topics such as evolution, anatomy, form and function, and describes how birds are built and why. A must read for anyone wishing to learn more about birds than just basic identification.

Verry useful

Wow. Für diesen günstigen Preis ein Buch randvoll mit Informationen, Grafiken und tollen, ansprechenden Bildern. Die Grafiken sind übersichtlich, jedes Detail ist beschrieben, die Fotos überzeugen und der Text ist schnörkellos. Es beginnt mit einer kurzen Einführung in die Paläontologie und leitet weiter über alles, was man zur Anatomie und Körperfunktion eines Vogels nur wissen muss/kann. Vom Schnabel zur Schwanzfeder. Von der Speißeröhre zur Kloake. Hormone, Drüsen, Fortpflanzung, Nestlinge, Atmung. Es wird bis ins kleinste Detail gegangen. Da bleibt keine Frage offen. Und das zu einem günstigen Preis. Das Buch ist sehr gut verarbeitet. Da kann man nicht meckern. Für jeden Liebhaber/Beobachter der Gefiederten absolute Kaufempfehlung!

In depth and interesting information that is easy to understand. Book is broken down into body systems. My 12 year old will really enjoy it.

Easy read, not too technical but lots of important and informative content.
