Comments on the book: Blogs


"...Well researched and cited, each image has been selected to illustrate a facet of the book's theme, ultimately building a powerful case for a better understanding of bird art, and by logical extension, of biological and science art in general." Carel Brest van Kempen, Rigor Vitae: Life Unyielding <http://rigorvitae.blogspot.com/2008/07/humans-nature-birds.html>

"...Humans, Nature, and Birds includes art and text which lovingly explores the places which birds have occupied in culture, mythology, conservation, symbolism, decoration, science, and commerce over the entire span of the artistic record....The images and captions in Humans, Nature, and Birds are all well-chosen, and the captions have the feel of an entertaining and informative gallery talk. Together they form a compelling exploration of one of the areas of life which is a source of great satisfaction for me and for so many fellow birders. This is one of my favorite books of 2008.
