Description
Birds are renowned for their inventive building skills, and their nests set a high standard for functional design in nature. This revised and expanded edition of Avian Architecture explores how birds design, engineer, and build their nests, featuring over 300 full-color images and more than 40 case studies that profile key species worldwide. The book deconstructs all types of nests found around the globe, from tunnel nests and mound nests to floating nests, hanging nests, woven nests, and even complex avian cities. In addition to nest designs, it also covers other forms of avian construction, such as bowers and food stores. The updated edition includes intricate step-by-step sequences, visual spreads on nest-building materials and methods, and expert commentary by a leading authority. With its unique blend of architectural blueprints, detailed descriptions, and insightful commentary, Avian Architecture is an engaging guide for anyone interested in the fascinating world of bird building and behavior.
