The Wall of Birds: One Planet, 243 Families, 375 Million Years Hardcover - 2018
by Jane Kim; Thayer Walker
From the rear cover
A celebration of the diversity and evolution of birds, as depicted in the cornell lab of ornithology's magnificent 2,500-square-foot wall of birds mural by artist Jane Kim
Part homage, part artistic and sociologicaljourney, The Wall of Birds tells the story of birds' remarkable 375-million-year evolution. With a foreword by John W. Fitzpatrick, director of the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and full of lush photographs of gorgeous life-size birds painted in exacting detail, The Wall of Birds lets readers explore these amazing creatures family by family and continent by continent. Throughout, beautifully crafted narratives and intimate artistic reflections tell of the evolutionary forces that created birds' dazzling variety of forms and colors, and reveal powerful lessons that are surprisingly relevant to contemporary human challenges.
From the tiny five-inch Marvelous Spatuletail hummingbird to the monstrous thirty-foot Yutyrannus, The Wall of Birds is a visual feast, essential for bird enthusiasts, naturalists, and art lovers alike.
