{"product_id":"the-thing-with-feathers-the-sur","title":"THE THING WITH FEATHERS: THE SUR","description":"\"[Strycker] thinks like a biologist but writes like a poet.\" -- Wall Street Journal\n\nAn entertaining and profound look at the lives of birds, illuminating their surprising world—and deep connection with humanity.\n\nBirds are highly intelligent animals, yet their intelligence is dramatically different from our own and has been little understood. As we learn more about the secrets of bird life, we are unlocking fascinating insights into memory, relationships, game theory, and the nature of intelligence itself.\n\nThe Thing with Feathers explores the astonishing homing abilities of pigeons, the good deeds of fairy-wrens, the influential flocking abilities of starlings, the deft artistry of bowerbirds, the extraordinary memories of nutcrackers, the lifelong loves of albatrosses, and other mysteries—revealing why birds do what they do, and offering a glimpse into our own nature.\n\nDrawing deep from personal experience, cutting-edge science, and colorful history, Noah Strycker spins captivating stories about the birds in our midst and shares the startlingly intimate coexistence of birds and humans. With humor, style, and grace, he shows how our view of the world is often, and remarkably, through the experience of birds. You’ve never read a book about birds like this one.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 159463341X\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: 4EKTGN00175V_ns\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Strycker, Noah\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
