The Birdwatcher's Companion (Companion)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Ever wonder what happens to the 36,000 tennis balls used at the annual Wimbledon championships? Or what was on the menu at Henry IV's coronation? Would you like to know how to master the Japanese art of packing a rucksack? Or how to say hello in 20 different languages? The delightfully eclectic, exceedingly collectable volumes in The Companion Series are bursting with useful trivia and quirky facts to amuse and amaze. Pleasingly designed, eminently browsable, downright addictive.
From the Publisher
From the serious (why vultures are dying out in Asia) and the informative (why waxwings have waxy wings) to the bizarre (the parrot that can read minds), The Birdwatcher's Companion is a veritable aviary of notes, quotes, and facts, as well as some of the finest writing about birds over the centuries.
