The ultimate wish-list for birders everywhere! 100 BIRDS TO SEE BEFORE YOU DIE is a must-have book for anyone interested in birdwatching, with entries on 100 of the most incredible avian species across the world, illustrated with stunning photographs of each. Each entry describes the natural history and significance of the featured species with summary information including size (and wingspan, where applicable), distribution, habitat, classification, population and conservation status, and the reason for the bird's inclusion and ranking. Whilst many of the top 100 features species would be on any bird enthusiast's wish list, the selection has been fiercely debated by two renowned birding authors, using various criteria for inclusion. Some species on the list are endangered and therefore a must to see before they are extinct; others are quite common but have a particular plumage or behaviour, which makes them exceptional; and other have a legendary status amongst birdwatchers and the layman.

Throughout the bird world, examples of strange and seemingly inexplicable behaviours abound. For example: Why do Male Fairywrens bring flowers to females as a nuptial gift in the pre-dawn darkness? Especially when the gift-givers are not the official mates of the females concerned, but visitors, and furthermore they may give these gifts in full view of the official mate. Why do gangs of White-winged Choughs 'kidnap' their neighbours' fledglings and then keep them in their 'gang'. Which bird is so big, strong and fierce that stories abound of it killing humans? This book looks at accounts of murderous Cassowaries and explains just what might have happened. What happens in an albatross 'divorce'? This book divides the world by continent and takes a series of extraordinary stories from each to illustrate a great diversity of bird behaviour. Each continent will have around five or six stories, each described in 1500 to 2000 words and examining the truths and the mythology behind each example. An intriguiguing book from an author with an ability to engage with his audience.

This edited collection explores our often-surprising modes of co-inhabiting the cultural and aerial worlds of birds. It focuses on our encounters with non-captive birds and the cultural geographies of feathered flight. This book offers a timely contribution to the more-than-human geographies of flight, space and territory. The chapters support an ethics of attention as a new basis for the conservation and cultivation of aerial habitats. Contributions adopt an interdisciplinary approach to the patterns of intrusion and escape that shape our encounters with birds and unsettle our traditionally terrestrial concepts of space. Each chapter focuses on a different aspect of our shared lives with birds, ranging from scientific observation to the social media-enabled spectacle of co-habitation and spatial competition. Written in a thought-provoking style, this book seeks to address a dearth of critical perspectives on the cultural geographies of flight and its implications for the ways in which we understand common spaces around and above us in the context of any effort at conservation.
