Histoire
"There is the mammal way and there is the bird way." But the bird way is much more than a unique pattern of brain wiring, and lately, scientists have taken a new look at bird behaviors they have, for years, dismissed as anomalies or mysteries - what they are finding is upending the traditional view of how birds conduct their lives, how they communicate, forage, court, breed, survive. They are also revealing the remarkable intelligence underlying these activities, abilities we once considered uniquely our own.

So much of our human body is made up of salt that we'd be dead without it. The fine balance of nature, the trade of salt as a currency of many nations and empires, the theme of a popular Shakespearean play... Salt is best selling author Mark Kurlansky's story of the only rock we eat.

Histoire
For millennia, owls have captivated and intrigued us. Our fascination with these mysterious birds was first documented more than thirty thousand years ago in the Chauvet Cave paintings in southern France. With their forward gaze and quiet flight, owls are often a symbol of wisdom, knowledge, and foresight. But what does an owl really know? And what do we really know about owls? Jennifer Ackerman illuminates the rich biology and natural history of these birds and reveals remarkable new scientific discoveries about their brains and behavior.

Histoire
In What It's Like to Be a Bird, David Sibley answers the most frequently asked questions about the birds we see most often. This special brand-new audio edition is geared as much to nonbirders as it is to the out-and-out obsessed, covering more than 200 species. While its focus is on familiar backyard birds—blue jays, nuthatches, chickadees—it also examines certain species that can be fairly easily observed, such as the seashore-dwelling Atlantic puffin.

Our world has ended five times: It has been broiled, frozen, poison gassed, smothered, and pelted by asteroids. In The Ends of the World, Peter Brannen dives into deep time, exploring Earth's past dead ends, and in the process offers us a glimpse of our possible future. Many scientists now believe that the climate shifts of the 21st century have analogs in these five extinctions.

Histoire
Over 90 percent of the population suffers from inflammation or an autoimmune disorder. Until now, conventional medicine has said there is no cure. Minor irritations like rashes and runny noses are ignored, while chronic and debilitating diseases like Crohn's and rheumatoid arthritis are handled with a cocktail of toxic treatments that fail to address their root cause. But it doesn't have to be this way.

By the end of on average day in the early 21st century, human beings searching the Internet will amass eight trillion gigabytes of data. This staggering amount of information - unprecedented in history - can tell us a great deal about who we are - the fears, desires, and behaviors that drive us, and the conscious and unconscious decisions we make. From the profound to the mundane, we can gain astonishing knowledge about the human psyche that less than 20 years ago seemed unfathomable.

Description
Birds are astonishingly intelligent creatures. In fact, according to revolutionary new research, some birds rival primates and even humans in their remarkable forms of intelligence. Like humans, many birds have enormous brains relative to their size. Although small, bird brains are packed with neurons that allow them to punch well above their weight.

Amazing insight into bird intelligence
As a close observer of birds I was aware of the species of bird covered by the author but unaware of the workings of their brains. Beautiful on the outside and beautiful on the inside. Their brains are being used for migrating and feeding and nesting and avoiding predators. They know what they are doing!
Margaret Storm is an excellent narrator. Thank you both!

Really interesting and informative
I leaned a lot about birds and would definitely recommend this audiobook. So name excellent examples of bird intelligence and makes me view birds differently. Very good narration as well.

an eye-opening delight
This one shook me up so extraordinarily, I can only begin to gush about how eye-opening this book was to my own bird brain!
Loved every minute of this and wanted so much more! From how song birds apprentice to learn their local dialects and secretly practice their songs, to homing pigeons that got lost but make it home 5 years (FIVE YEARS!) later, to the magnificent New Caledonia crows that MAKE TOOLS! Holey smokes, this book is full of surprises and wonderment I can't begin to share. It maybe helped that, by chance, I was working in a bird sanctuary while listening to this gem of a book, but it was truly a work of science and art and nature-art all in one.
Truly, my only misgiving with the audiobook is that there are no sound-bites (bytes??) of real bird song in this volume. The narrator "cheer-cheers" and "chirrups" as well as a human can, but it would have, I think in this digital age, been pretty simple to augment the text with the real multivocality of a mockingbird or two ;)
Otherwise, hugely and vigorously enjoyed and recommended. If i could give 6 or 10 stars I surely would! I hope everyone can enjoy this book!!
