Ten Birds That Changed the World

內容簡介

內容簡介 自人類的歷史開展以來，我們就一直與鳥類共存。我們飼養、獵捕鳥類當食物，牠們出現在神話、宗教與民間文化裡，鳥類的也成為人類創作音樂、藝術與詩歌的靈感泉源。在這本書中，作者Stephen Moss爬梳鳥類與人類歷史之間奇妙的故事與軼聞，從北歐天神奧汀的烏鴉到達爾文的翅雀，從美國的野火雞到南極的帝王企鵝，帶領讀者進入這段令人出乎意料、大開眼界的自然史之旅。For the whole of human history, we have lived alongside birds. We have hunted and domesticated them for food; venerated them in our mythologies, religion and rituals; exploited them for their natural resources; and been inspired by them for our music, art and poetry.In Ten Birds that Changed the World, naturalist and author Stephen Moss tells the gripping story of this long and eventful relationship through ten key species from all seven of the world's continents. From Odin's faithful raven companions to Darwin's finches, and from the wild turkey of the Americas to the emperor penguin as potent symbol of the climate crisis, this is a fascinating, eye-opening and endlessly engaging work of natural history.
