书籍简介

★这本书的诞生源于一个紧迫的现实：全球约有一半的鸟类物种数量正在下降，天空正在变得寂静。如英国，自1945年以来已估计丧失了1亿只鸟类。根据国际自然保护联盟（IUCN）的红色名录，斑鸠数量在40年内下降了98%，灰山鹑下降了92%。

作者麦克法伦和绘者莫里斯希望通过本书唤起人们的关注与爱。他们相信，知识可能导向惊叹，惊叹导向关怀，关怀导向行动，而行动则能带来改变。

★这本书挑战了传统图鉴的定义。它不回答“那是什么鸟？”，而是追问“那是谁？”。杰基·莫里斯希望引导读者去“感同身受”而非仅仅“识别”，用诗歌、故事和关怀来代替纯粹的数据与分类

★书中精心选取了49种在英国及世界各地数量严重衰退、被列入“红色名录”的鸟类，例如反嘴鹬、黄鹀、红隼和夜莺等。麦克法伦的文字兼具抒情与精准，他如同一位富有韵律感的散文诗人，生动描绘了每种鸟的习性、栖息地、迁徙，以及与人类文化交织的神话与传说

★全书以鸟类的“七大奇迹”为框架展开，包括：巢、蛋、喙、鸣唱、羽毛、飞行和迁徙，从多个维度深入探索鸟类的生命。

出自国际畅销、屡获殊荣、改编成多种版本的现象级作品《失落的词语》的创作团队之手——这部精彩绝伦的英国鸟类图鉴，为新一代自然爱好者重新诠释了经典的鸟类野外指南。

天空正在经历一场巨大的衰退。全球约有50%的鸟类物种数量正在下降。我们的黎明和春天一年比一年更加寂静。难以想象的丰富物种正在消失。这一切本不该如此——但我们不会拯救我们不爱的事物。

《鸟类图鉴》收录了49种鸟类，从反嘴鹬到黄雀，所有这些鸟类目前在英国的数量都在下降或濒临灭绝。本书的灵感源自作者们从小就熟悉的经典鸟类书籍，是一部与众不同的野外指南。它不问“那是什么鸟？”，而是问“那是什么鸟？”它不仅教读者如何识别鸟类，更教他们如何与鸟类建立联系。

罗伯特·麦克法兰以诗意的精准和生动的笔触，描绘了每种鸟的习性和栖息地——它们的飞行和鸣唱模式，它们的捕猎和觅食方式，它们的筑巢和育雏方式，与它们相关的传说和神话，它们面临的威胁，以及它们野生生活与我们人类生活的交织。每一页都点缀着杰基·莫里斯令人振奋的画作，水彩和金箔交织，细节刻画入微，栩栩如生。

在这群令人眼花缭乱的鸟类之中，穿插着七个章节，赞颂构成“鸟类”日常奇迹的“七大奇迹”——巢、蛋、喙、鸣、羽、飞和迁徙。

历时七年创作的《鸟类之书》既是对鸟类生命壮丽与神秘的一封情书，也是对阻止鸟类从陆地、海洋和天空消失的响亮呼吁。从河乌到褐柳莺，从红隼到翠鸟，从高山到海洋，从城市到河流，杰基·莫里斯和罗伯特·麦克法兰生动地描绘了每种鸟类的独特精神和生活方式。这本书值得所有年龄段的爱鸟人士珍藏，也将成为未来的经典参考著作。

From the creators of the internationally bestselling, award-winning, multi-adapted phenomenon The Lost Words—a dazzling celebration of birdlife in Britain, re-imagining the classic field guide for a new generation of nature lovers.

A great thinning of the skies is underway. Around 50% of bird species are in decline worldwide. Our dawns and springs are quieter each year than the last. An almost unimaginable abundance has been lost. It does not have to be this way—but we will not save what we do not love.

The Book of Birds is a compendium of forty-nine bird species, from Avocet to Yellowhammer, all of which are presently declining or endangered in Britain. Inspired by the classic bird-books with which the authors grew up, this is a field guide with a difference. It asks not ‘What is that bird?’, but ‘Who is that bird?’ It shows its readers how to identify birds, but also how to identify with them.

With lyrical precision and playfulness, Robert Macfarlane evokes each bird’s habits and habitats—their patterns of flight and of song, how they hunt and gather, how they nest and raise their young, the stories and myths which attend them, the threats which shadow them, and how their wild lives intersect with our own. And on every page we encounter Jackie Morris’s exhilarating artwork, painted in watercolour and gold and animated by an extraordinary attention to detail and sense of life.

Set among this dazzling flock of species are seven sections celebrating the ‘Seven Wonders’ that together make up the everyday miracle of ‘Bird’—Nest, Egg, Beak, Song, Feather, Flight and Migration.

Seven years in the making, The Book of Birds is a love letter to the splendours and mysteries of birdlife, and a clarion call to halt the loss of birds from land, sea and sky. From Dipper to Dunnock and Kestrel to Kingfisher, from mountain to ocean and city to river, Jackie Morris and Robert Macfarlane conjure the unique spirit and lifeway of each species. This is a book to be treasured by bird-lovers of all ages, and a future classic work of reference.
