For countless generations, humans have coexisted with birds, forging a profound and multifaceted relationship that spans the entirety of human history. We have hunted and domesticated them for sustenance, revered them in our mythologies, religions, and rituals, exploited their natural resources, and drawn inspiration from their melodies, artworks, and poetic expressions. In his captivating book, Ten Birds that Changed the World, naturalist and author Stephen Moss delves into the intricate tapestry of this enduring bond, showcasing ten pivotal species from across the seven continents. From Odin's loyal ravens to Darwin's finches, and from the majestic wild turkey of the Americas to the poignant emperor penguin, as a powerful emblem of the climate crisis, this remarkable work of natural history unfolds as a captivating, enlightening, and endlessly captivating exploration.
