Birds in the Ancient World

Viac o knihe

A book the world has been waiting for, rich, scrupulously organised, imaginative, beautifully written, and driven by a double passion. On the one hand, for birds and human interactions with them. On the other, for the ancient world, especially those Greeks who 'invented the concept of nature' and the scholarship which brings their thoughts and observations alive. Ruth Padel, author of Darwin - A Life in Poems, The Mara Crossing, and In and Out of the Mind.
