书籍简介

*纽约时报畅销书*

2023 年《纽约时报》年度图书

‘如果有人对任何事情都了如指掌……那就是猫头鹰，它对某事有所了解。’ 小熊维尼，A. A. Milne

从史前洞穴壁画到毕加索的版画和蚀刻画，猫头鹰几千年来一直吸引着我们并激励着我们。

无论它们是作为古雅典智慧的象征、死亡的幽灵预兆，还是哈利波特和小熊维尼的可爱伙伴出现，这些鸟类一直以同等的程度吸引着我们并让我们感到不安。

通过具有启示性的新行为研究，Jennifer Ackerman 提供了对这些壮丽生物生活的近距离观察。从它们无声飞行和旋转头部背后的进化怪癖，到它们的恋爱关系和养育方式，《猫头鹰知道什么》将猫头鹰丰富的自然历史栩栩如生地展现出来。阿克曼巧妙地将科学与艺术结合在一起，走进猫头鹰的月光世界并提出疑问：这些鸟类有什么让我们如此着迷？

‘And if anyone knows anything about anything… it's Owl who knows something about something.’ Winnie-the-Pooh, A. A. Milne

From prehistoric cave paintings to the prints and etchings of Picasso, owls have captivated and inspired us for millennia.

Whether they appear as ancient Athenian symbols of wisdom, harbingers of death, or the cuddly sidekicks of Harry Potter and Winnie the Pooh, these birds have continued to fascinate and disturb us in equal measure.

Through revelatory new behavioural research, Jennifer Ackerman provides an intimate glimpse into these magnificent creatures’ lives. From the evolutionary quirks behind their silent flight and rotating heads, to their romantic relationships and parenting styles, What an Owl Knows brings the rich natural history of owls to life. Deftly weaving together science and art, Ackerman journeys into the owl’s moonlit world and asks: what is it about these birds that so enthrals us?
