Description

Owls have captivated and inspired us for millennia, appearing in prehistoric cave paintings and prints by artists such as Picasso. These birds have been both revered for their wisdom and feared for their ghostly presence. Through new behavioural research, Jennifer Ackerman provides an intimate glimpse into the lives of owls, revealing their unique characteristics and quirks. From the evolutionary secrets behind their silent flight and rotating heads, to their social relationships and parenting styles, Ackerman's book brings the natural history of owls to life. By exploring the owl's world, Ackerman asks what it is about these birds that enthralls us. A fascinating and deeply researched work of popular science, this book is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in the natural world.
