Description

A treasure trove of stories, poems, and information on the brainy, blackfeathered bird thats rich in insight and humor.This revised and expanded edition of Candace Savages bestselling book about ravens and crows is enhanced by additional paintings, drawings, and photos, as well as a fascinating selection of firstperson stories and poems about remarkable encounters with crows. In one story, a pack of crows brilliantly thwarts an attack by a Golden Eagle in another, a mischievous crow rescues the author from grief. And in a third piece, after nursing a battered baby crow back to health until it flies off with other crows, Louise Erdrich hauntingly describes her altered awareness as she listens for the "dark laugh" of crows while she works.Based on two decades of audacious research by scientists around the world, the book also provides an unprecedented, evidencebased glimpse into corvids intellectual, social, and emotional lives. But whether viewed through the lens of science, myth, or everyday experience, the result is always the same. These birds are so smartand so mysteriousthey take your breath away.Published in Partnership with the David Suzuki Institute.Praise for CrowsA beautifully crafted celebration of these birds. NatureA deft juxtaposition of interesting anecdotes and firsthand accounts of scientific discoveries. Canadian LiteratureSurprising avian revelations are contained within the pages of Savages glorious festival of crow arcana. Alberta Views
