关于51种野鸟的翼、足、喙、眼 自然观察者用画笔记录下的飞羽邂逅 ◎ 编辑推荐 鸟类观察爱好者作为博物学领域的先行者之一，在细化和深化鸟类观察技巧的同时，也在公民科学的理念之下，为严谨的鸟类学研究贡献各自的发现所得。本书集科学绘画、自然保育与鸟类形态学于一身，是自然观察与视觉艺术的绝佳结合。 ◎ 内容简介 从20世纪90年代开始，本书的作者便开始为日本面向鸟类爱好者的月刊《观鸟》（Birder）连载鸟类观察的文章与图画创作。在本书中，他与一直参与救助受伤野鸟的大山先生合作，用细致的画笔描绘出各种野鸟的形态细节。 本书主要分为正文与解说两部分，正文描绘了不同类群鸟的羽毛分区、翅及尾的内外形态，对鸟的喙、足、须、鳞、距等特征都进行了翔实的描绘；解说部分主要涉及野鸟的分布、生态和历史等，是较为综合性的介绍。另外，本书提供了详细且精确的测量数据，如“翼长”“尾长”“跗跖长”“嘴峰长”“嘴幅”等，便于读者对野鸟的形态形成更直观的感知。 ◎ 名人推荐 一座用图画打造的纸上鸟类博物馆。 ——张瑜《中国国家地理》杂志社、《博物》编辑部插画师

Acclaimed scientist and author Bernd Heinrich has returned every year since boyhood to a beloved patch of western Maine woods. What is the biology in humans of this deep-in-the-bones pull toward a particular place, and how is it related to animal homing? Heinrich explores the fascinating science chipping away at the mysteries of animal migration: how geese imprint true visual landscape memory; how scent trails are used by many creatures, from fish to insects to amphibians, to pinpoint their home if they are displaced from it; and how the tiniest of songbirds are equipped for solar and magnetic orienteering over vast distances. Most movingly, Heinrich chronicles the spring return of a pair of sandhill cranes to their home pond in the Alaska tundra. With his trademark “marvelous, mind-altering” prose (Los Angeles Times), he portrays the unmistakable signs of deep psychological emotion in the newly arrived birds—and reminds us that to discount our own emotions toward home is to ignore biology itself.
