Between the Wingtips: The Secret Life of Birds
By Brutus Ostling, Magnus Ullman
Why do people have such an affinity for birds? Is it their ability to break free from gravity and soar through the air? Perhaps it is their colorful plumage, which varies from season to season? Or their nesting and brooding habits?
To understand birds, you have to see them in their natural state, and award-winning photographer Brutus Ostling is up to the task. Traveling the world over, from the Arctic to the Antarctic, Ostling takes us "behind the scenes" to capture these magnificent creatures at various times of the year, in various natural settings. None of what is presented in this book could in any way be thought of as "stock photography," and none of it is digitally manipulated.
Winner of the 2006 Pandabook award as Sweden's finest nature book, Between the Wingtips will delight and amaze anyone with an interest in these most amazing creatures.
