身而為鳥: 從飛翔、築巢、覓食到鳴唱，了解鳥的一舉一動，以及其中的道理
By 大衛．希伯利當代觀鳥大師希伯利結合頂尖鳥類繪圖與專業科學研究 讓讀者也能「身而為鳥」，體驗種種超乎人類想像的演化適應及生存能力 鳥，在我們日常生活中隨處可見。憑著偶而的驚鴻一瞥，我們就覺得大概知道鳥是怎樣的生物。但是鳥兒看似理所當然的飛翔、覓食和築巢等行為，甚至獨樹一幟的白色排泄物，其實都涉及精密的生理構造或多方權衡的能力！ 開始撰寫這本鳥類行為學專書後，即使觀鳥生涯長達五十年，已被譽為鳥界巨擘的作者大衛．希伯利，仍然驚嘆：「原來鳥的生活如此奇妙！」 全書收錄84幅實物尺寸的鳥類繪圖，從水鳥、猛禽到雀鳥，個別鳥種的曼妙姿態躍然紙上。精采、知識量濃密的文字，搭配連續動作分解以及構造解剖等細部繪圖，讓讀者交互參照，一探鳥類日常作息背後隱藏的生物知識： 鳥唱個不停，都不用像人類那樣換氣？原來不論吸氣或吐氣，鳥都能同時發出兩種聲音，大嗚唱家當之無愧。這是怎樣的呼吸系統？ 站在樹枝上睡覺的鳥，為何不會掉下來？其實不是爪子抓得緊，而是高超的平衡能力！ 鳥蛋的形狀如此多變，原來和母鳥怎麼飛有關！這其中的關聯是什麼？ 黑色的鳥在烈日下活動，體溫不會過熱嗎？其實熱的是羽毛，身體反而涼爽！ 鳥兒究竟過著怎樣的生活？身而為鳥，是什麼感覺？這種力求突破旁觀視角，從鳥兒的需求出發去認識鳥類生活的渴望，促使希伯利再度完成一本轟動北美鳥界的著作。 不論你是初入門者，或像作者有數十年賞鳥經驗，只要抱著好奇的心盯著鳥兒，總能得到無限驚奇。 本書帶你深入了解驚奇背後，鳥類引人入勝的生理構造及演化適應，突破肉眼觀察局限的圖解，由內部解剖到外觀，讓這生命的奇蹟躍然紙上。
