Mrs Moreau's Warbler : How Birds Got Their Names Paperback - 2020

by Moss, Stephen

  • Used

Through fascinating encounters with birds, and the rich cast of characters who came up with their names, Moss takes readers on a remarkable journey through time. From when humans and birds first shared the Earth to their fraught present-day coexistence, he shows how these names reveal as much about people and their relationship with the natural world as about the creatures they describe.
