A fascinating investigation into the miraculous world of
birds and the powerful—and surprising—ways they enrich our
lives and sustain the planet
Our relationship to birds is different from our relationship to
any other wild creatures. They are found virtually everywhere
and we love to watch them, listen to them, keep them as pets,
wear their feathers, even converse with them. Birds, Jim
Robbins posits, are our most vital connection to nature. They
compel us to look to the skies, both literally and
metaphorically; draw us out into nature to seek their beauty;
and let us experience vicariously what it is like to be
weightless. Birds have helped us in so many of our human
endeavors: learning to fly, providing clothing and food, and
helping us better understand the human brain and body. And they
even have much to teach us about being human in the natural
world.
This book illuminates qualities unique to birds that
demonstrate just how invaluable they are to humankind—both
ecologically and spiritually. The wings of turkey buzzards
influenced the Wright brothers’ flight design; the chickadee’s
song is considered by scientists to be the most sophisticated
language in the animal world and a “window into the evolution
of our own language and our society”; and the quietly powerful
presence of eagles in the disadvantaged neighborhood of
Anacostia, in Washington, D.C., proved to be an effective
method for rehabilitating the troubled young people placed in
charge of their care.
Exploring both cutting-edge scientific research and our oldest
cultural beliefs, Robbins moves these astonishing creatures
from the background of our lives to the foreground, from the
quotidian to the miraculous, showing us that we must fight to
save imperiled bird populations and the places they live, for
the sake of both the planet and humankind.
Praise for The Wonder of Birds
“A must-read, conveying much necessary information in easily
accessible form and awakening one’s consciousness to what might
otherwise be taken for granted . . . The Wonder of Birds
reads like the story of a kid let loose in a candy store and
given free rein to sample. That is one of its strengths: the
convert’s view gives wide appeal to those who might never have
known birds well.”—Bernd Heinrich, The Wall Street
Journal
“Engaging, thoughtful . . . worthy of a place alongside David
Attenborough’s documentary The Life of Birds or Graeme
Gibson’s The Bedside Book of Birds . . . This
offering will appeal to naturalists, anthropologists,
linguists, and even philosophers as well as to lay
readers.”—Library Journal
“In this deeply felt and well-supported argument for avians’
value to humankind, science writer Robbins hits the full
trifecta for engrossing and satisfying nature
writing.”—Publishers Weekly (starred
review)
“Using enchanting stories and rich historical references, Jim
Robbins explores the role of birds on the evolution of human
self-awareness.”—Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
“It’s one for the birds—what a wonderful book! It will give you
wings.”—Rita Mae Brown, New York Times bestselling
author of Rubyfruit Jungle
“The Wonder of Birds provides a great and well-timed
gift: a portrait of the quiet miracles around us on each day of
our ordinary lives.”—Michael Punke, #1 New York Times
bestselling author of The Revenant
“Jim Robbins writes masterfully, with lucid prose and deep
insight into the human psyche and natural world.”—Peter
Stark, author of Astoria
