Around the World in 80 Birds di Mike Unwin

The illustrations alone in this book are worth the price of admission.The author provides not only interesting biology, but also explores how each bird species has interacted with humans, whether in folklore ,mythology or real life ….and definitely with the question of for better or for worse

Een reis om de wereld in 80 vogels di Mike Unwin

Een reis om de wereld in 80 vogels. Door: Mike Unwin. Illustraties: Ryuto Miyake.

Na Een reis om de wereld in 80 planten en Een reis om de wereld in 80 bomen is er nu een boek over vogels. Weliswaar door een andere schrijver en een nieuwe tekenaar maar even indrukwekkend als zijn voorgangers.

Dit is een boek dat je niet van A tot Z moet lezen, mag natuurlijk, maar ik leg het boek het liefst naast het bed: om er vogel per vogel van te genieten. Wat voor vele mensen is ontstaan tijdens de lockdowns heb ik al veel langer: een liefde voor vogels. En hoewel ik geen kenner ben heb ik wel al vele vogelgidsen verslonden. Ik heb wel al ‘het één en ander’ gezien zou ik zeggen.

Maar Een reis om de wereld slaat me met verstomming: wat een kleuren, wat een variatie, hoe indrukwekkend mooi en boeiend. Van de meeste van de vogelsoorten heb ik nog nooit gehoord: rode rotshaan, vlaggendrongo, dwergmierpitta,… Andere ken ik wel maar in een lokale versie: Indische gans, groene gaai, grote renkoekoek,… Ik leer zo veel bij.

Unwin en Miyake leverden een interessant, mooi overzichtswerk van de meest fantastische vogels van de wereld. Mooi, mooi, mooi!… (altro)
