David Burnie es un respetado zoólogo quien, después de trabajar como guarda recursos, se convirtió en un autor y editor de historia natural. Ha sido un autor prolífico -incluyendo algunos libros sobre dinosaurios y aves- cuyos libros han logrado múltiples premios por su labor educativa y de divulgación científica.
Este libro ofrece una extraordinaria y original visión del mundo de las aves. Asombrosas fotografías de tamaño natural muestran plumas, alas, esqueletos, huevos, nidos, pollito recién nacidos y excelentes primeros planos del ciclo de vida de los pájaros.
El libro consta de veintinueve capítulos que hablan desde la evolución de las aves, el desarrollo del vuelo, las plumas y alas, la relación de las plumas con el comportamiento (como el cortejo y el camuflaje), los sentidos con que las aves perciben el mundo; hasta información sobre la construcción del nido, los tipos de huevos, la salida del cascarón, el crecimiento de los polluelos y sugerencias sobre observación de aves.

The cover of my book doesn't look like this. And it has a CD-Rom with clip art.

I have a love/hate relationship with the Eyewitness books. I love all the interesting and informative pictures. I hate the busyness of it all. I also don't appreciate how they try to throw evolution into everything.

We checked this out just to look through. I put it in the book basket and they browsed through it several times. I didn't want to read the various 9 million snippets of information together, but I did answer any questions they had.

The pictures are all photographs and are very well done. You can learn a lot just by looking at them.

I never use these books as our main source of information because you only get a small blurb about each thing and I don't feel it's enough. But for pictures and/or browsing they work well.

OK I know these are supposed to be kid books but they are awesome! Great pictures and just enough text to make you want to learn more. Great choices for a beginning history reader or to start an older reader out in a new area. Every time I pick one of these up and read it I learn new things. Highly Recommended

Birds besides owls make pellets! I had no idea. Also, baby birds can be really, really ugly. I knew that, but these pictures make it crystal clear.

Found this back in my storage, so re-read every piece of this book. Amazing information, and lots of great (and helpful) photographs. I feel as if I'm going to forget at least half of what I just learned, but that's just me, haha.

A Beautiful picture book with lots of information about birds from all over the world. I would have liked to have seen more images and less info, as I bought it primarily for inspiration for drawing.
